Answer 1

None thus far.
They became so opposed and confrontational, that even though I never tried to force anything on them, (they always started in on me) I became more of a patient person, learning to wait until they see the good person I have become, and the fact that I have conquered the problems I once had, that when (if ever) they want to know more about why I changed, I will be ready with a gentle answer.

Answer 2

show christ instead of telling christ.BUT if she is on her death bed it's a different story then.she probally feels that she has done to much wrong in her life and GOD won't forgive her.this is a lie from satan.show her scripture that speaks of 'all have sinned and fall short', the heart is decietful, no one is good no not one.point to david a murder adulter and yet god accounted him as righteous. tell your mom you see NOBODY is good enough not you or me or dad or anyone else.thats why jesus came so that we may live.if this doesn't work then try this.
mom if i'm right and your wrong i get heaven and you don't.
mom if your right and i'm wrong i've lost nothing and when you and me are dead then were just someones else compost.
as a christian you are in a win win situation.
or try was jesus lying when he said he is the life and only way? look jesus is the son of god or he is not choose.ask her do you want to know FOR SURE IF YOU DIE TONIGHT YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN? if she says yes i want to know for sure than lead her in the sinners pray.DONT GIVE UP!!!!

Answer 3

I had a vision of my dad when I was in my 40's. He was younger, happier and glowing. I knew then that he was going to come to know Jesus. He died a few years ago as a Christian. He was 92 so was only a Christian for about 2 years. God will save your mom, just keep praying for her. Just live a Christ-like life, it will be all the witness she needs.

Answer 4

I was a Sunday School teacher for a group of rambunctious boys. I thought I had taught them nothing because it seemed like their attention was always on something else other than the lesson. 15 years later I met one of these ruffians now grown with a family of his own. I was pleased to find out after asking him that he had accepted Christ as his personal savior and also him saying that he did listen at least a little bit to what I was trying to convey in Sunday School.

Answer 5

Families are tough. Keep praying. I have asked God to send other Christians to my family to witness to them; people they may be able to relate to better than me. They really don't want to hear it from me anymore. However, I have seen other people whose hearts God had prepared jump at the chance to be saved. Some plant, others water, but God gives the increase. Don't despair. People often have to hit rock bottom before they are ready to listen to the gospel. Just be available if they want to talk. God hears your prayers. I'll pray for your mother.

Answer 6

We only plant the seeds, and water them when we can. After that it's up to God to make them sprout and grow in His time. Keep on praying for your mom, and keep on telling her and showing her that you love her, that's the very best thing you can do for her. God bless you and your family.

Answer 7

I invited my brother to come stay with me. I lead by example and every once in awhile discussed the Lord with him. Now he is a Methodist pastor.

Answer 8

None yet but I still pray with faith and hope.
