It would depend as to whether or not they would want to talk about why they did and if they ask anything about it. I will be the first (or last?) one to say that I don't know every answer and I'm trying to find some things out myself.

Do they usually want to talk about it.

if a person trusted you enough to approach you with a question about their Faith,
then you should consider yourself very blessed, for we can trust that our Father
in heaven will be our guide and author of the answers we will share.

I throw bibles at them and yell at them thru a bullhorn.....right up in their face......just kidding.
I like to get to know people and not control the conversation. The Holy Spirit gives opportunity and words to say......I wait for that.

Do you think throwing bibles at them and yelling at them thru a bullhorn can be a legitimate way to reach people.

Start by simply being a friend, and by listening to them. We were never meant to just slap a verse in front of people, and declare, "There's the answer, now live it."

Do you have many friends who have turned from their faith in Jesus.

What are your methods for reaching out to people who have lost their faith in Jesus.

Allowing folks to see my joy in Christ while being respectful and sympathetic to where they are spiritually. There's something to be said about learning and teaching by actions more so than words.

I give them a hug.

Then I sit with them and offer them a cup of coffee.
When they get comfortable, I gently walk up to them and lean over and....

............I proceed to YELL INTO THEIR EAR..................

"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???!!!.....CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY ,MAN!!!!!"


Kidding....We lead by example.
If they see the peace that we have, then it usually leads to conversation.

What is this peace that I hear that alot of religions have.

Honestly I really suck at this. I'm am the most un-comforting/un-helpful person in the world. I never know what to say to people to help out, and everything seems misplaced or rude. I have a vast admiration for all the people who've shown their skills when they comfort me :)

When end it comes to things like this, I'm even worse (lol). I either try to avoid the situation in the first place or guide the, to someone who can say it better than me.

Do you feel stuck like this.

I mean exactly that. Once a person has faith, they can never lose it.. they can MISPLACE it somewhere for awhile, but it doesn't vanish into thin air and disappear for good..faith requires belief..as long as you believe in God, you haven't lost your faith..
Click to expand...
So does that mean a person cant choose to not have faith in Jesus once they have had it.
