"WHY A LACK OF CONVERSIONS TO CHRIST"

One of the greatest joys we have in any generation is to share with others what we have found in God's Word.
Far too many of those who claim Christ are not seeing the real joy that comes from actually living and serving God by serving and caring for our fellow man.

In order for us to know how to serve others in this world in 2014, I believe there are times we need to listen to those who DO NOT believe in God, so that we might be better equipped in our own lives to win them to Christ.

Whether you like statistics and polls or not, some research has been done in this area and the results are amazing.
In this blog, I want you to see the seven most common types of comments from those claiming to be non-Christians.

I will then follow that statement with a direct quote from a non-Christian. Read these comments and see if you learn some of the lessons I learned.

1) Christians are against more things than they are for.
"It just seems to me that Christians are mad at the world and mad at each other. They are so negative that they seem unhappy. I have no desire to be like them and stay upset all the time."

2) I would like to develop a friendship with a Christian.
"I'm really interested in what they believe and how they carry out their beliefs. I wish I could find a Christian that would be willing to spend some time with me."

3) I would like to learn about the Bible from a Christian.
"The Bible really fascinates me, but I don't want to go to a stuffy and legalistic church to learn about it. It would be nice if a Christian invited me to study the Bible in his home or at a place like Starbucks."

4) I don't see much difference in the way Christians live compared to others.
"I really can't tell what a Christian believes because he doesn't seem much different than other people I know. The only exception would be Mormons. They really seem to take their beliefs seriously."

5) I wish I could learn to be a better husband, wife, dad, mom, etc., from a Christian.
"My wife is threatening to divorce me, and I think she means it this time. My neighbor is a Christian, and he seems to have it together. I am swallowing my pride and asking him to help me."

6) Some Christians try to act like they have no problems.
"Harriett works in my department. She is one of those Christians who seem to have a mask on. I would respect her more if she didn't put on such an act. I know better."

7) I wish a Christian would take me to his or her church.
"I really would like to visit a church, but I'm not particularly comfortable going by myself. What is weird is that I am 32-years old, and I've never had a Christian invite me to church in my entire life."

Do you see the pattern? Non-Christians want to interact with Christians. They want to see Christians' actions matching their beliefs.

They want Christians to be real.

In one study that was conducted, it was found that only five percent of non-Christians are hostile or in opposition toward Christians.

It's time to stop believing the lies we have been told.
Jesus said it best: "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." (Luke 10:2) (NKJV)

Satan is the author of excuses. There is no reason to wait to reach those who don't know Jesus Christ. We must go now. The harvest is waiting. And the Lord of the harvest has prepared the way.

2 Timothy 2:1-2, "You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." (NKJV)

What you have learned, share with others. If you have not yet learned, get busy and study God's Word for your soul and those who need you so desperately. God Bless...
