Ok well many people have probably wrote in about the same thing. I guess I've always called myself a christian, but ever since last March - April I discovered that Christianity is not just a title, and I learned what it really meant to be a christian. I got saved and surrendered my life to Christ. I was so excited, I started going to church every chance i got,(i didn't belong to one.) I bought a Bible and I started talking to my friends about Jesus and everything. Sound fine right? Wrong. My parents say that they are Christians, but they don't really live Christian based lives. They get annoyed when i ask them questions about God and it is like my favorite thing to talk about. Even though they listen and answer my questions, I feel they are just tolerating it. It's almost like a disgust. My mom een said before she was afraid I was taking on cult-like behaviors. It's the same thing with my friends. They do things I don't respect, things I won't do, they offend me sometimes with the things they do, and they just tolerate it when I talk about Jesus. Basically they roll their eyes if I say I won't do something, because it doesn't honor God. I guess my question is how can I live with Christian values when the closest peope around me are so wordly? And how can I talk to them about Jesus without sounding critical and judgemental? How can I get them to get saved? I don't know if I should just get new friends, because I feel like I can lead them to Christ. Am I kidding myself? Am I still trying to hold on to friends who are a bad influence? What about my parents? Please, Help!
