Part of the holiday season is spending time with family members that we might not see that often. Most families have members that are not Christians, and this might be the only time of year that we have to influence them for Christ. Sometimes, these situations are uncomfortable and we don’t know what to say or do.
This week’s podcast features a short, practical lesson from brother Hiram Kemp where he provides 7 suggestions that we should keep in our minds as we try to lead family members to Christ.
So often, we act like the older brother in Luke 15 or a modern-day Jonah that doesn’t want to evangelize to our own set of Ninevites. Hiram’s suggestions are full of Biblical teaching that encourage us to do better.
We’ve included his 7 tips below, and it might be valuable for you to hand write these before attending family events over the next couple of weeks so the ideas will be fresh on your mind.
Seven Suggestions:
- Courage
- Compassion
- Consistency
- Avoid compromise
- Think about the cure
- Conversion
- Confidence
