I’d rather have people hate me with the knowledge that I tried to save them.
Keith Green
Clearly it’s the Lord that saves and our job to spread the Word and Good News.
After we die and some of our friends didn’t choose Jesus how will we feel if we didn’t really try to share Him with them? Did we care about them? Did we really love them?
That’s what I get out of Keith Green’s quote. It may come off a little strong and our job isn’t to pester to the point they run away, but too many of us never mention Him at all to others or the ones we love.
Don’t stand in front of the Lord or regret that you didn’t at least try to share Jesus with those you love.

GOOD POST!! I used to say I’d rather cut someones ear off than to watch them die, but that mindset took me in a direction that wasn’t good. It became easy to say whatever I wanted without pursuing the Holy Spirit and asking for direction. 1 cor 13 tells us to have love above all and out of that love is where and why we share. Now I’d rather error on the side of being gracious vs legalistic.

I’ve been memorizing the armor of God from Eph.. 5. In verse 19, it says, “and pray for me that utterance may given me in the opening of my mouth, that I may make known, with boldness, the mystery of the Gospel.” We can all pray that for ourselves and others.
