Billy Graham: 2 things Christians can do to lead Atheist friends to Jesus Christ

[RussBLib]

Did you see this silly, silly story recently? One of the "great minds" of the modern religious movement is basically saying there is NOTHING you can do to get atheists over to JC except to pray for them.

I find this really hilarious. Obviously reason ain't gonna cut it. Might as well just piss in the wind.

Billy Graham: 2 things Christians can do to lead Atheist friends to Jesus Christ
Praying for God to soften the hearts of atheist friends is the most important thing Christian can do for non-believers, says famed evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham, who also encourages believers to be a "witness to Jesus' peace and joy."

In a question-and-answer column published Monday on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website, Graham was asked what Christians can do to encourage their atheist friends to seek salvation in Jesus Christ.

"My best friend and I enjoy each other's company, but I'm a Christian and he says he's an atheist. I've tried to argue with him, but he just laughs and says I ought to grow up and forget about God. How can I win him over?" the person asked.

Graham responded by saying, "you can't win him over by yourself" and that part of the effort must include God, since "He can conquer even the most stubborn heart.

"And that's why the most important thing you can do for your friend is to pray for him, asking God to convict him of his sin and his pride and convince him of his need for Christ," wrote Graham. "Pray also that your life will be a witness to him — a witness to Christ's peace and joy. People may argue with what we say — but they can't argue with the reality of a life that's been transformed by Christ."
