I have friends some that are Christian and some that don't know a lick of what Christianity is. MY problem is that my non-christian friends are easier to talk to than my christian friends. I think that it is because my non-christian friends and I talk more about "wordly things" instead of "godly things". I dont want to lose them but at the same time I do want them to change and know Christ. The inly problem is, is that they are not too accepting of my views and my christian beliefs. =/
 
I kinda have that problem too as at school my friends are not christians well some are but you would never know as they hardly ever talk about God or hardly ever show christian values.I still like them as they are rather cool and fun and they respect how I feel about God sometimes all I talk about is God and they just cope.The only time we ever talk about God is in a debate and I wish and pray that they would all let Jesus come into their hearts and I think you just continue to pray for your friends .God bless you :)
 
Thanks, it is nice to see that I have someone to connect with
 
Well, what you're talking about with your non-christian friends not being accepting of your views is normal. In fact, the bible says to expect it.
When i was around non-Christians more when i was younger i would often take a middle ground. I was, personally, not a huge 'evenagelist' type. So i just did my best to live right in front of them, and not back down on what i believed. But i also didn't go around pushing it on them. If i got the chance to talk to them, great, and chances are it will come up without you trying. Usually over time they would learn to respect me more for my beliefs as they say me not compromise, nor force it on them.
Ultimately just try to listen to God, there may be times He directs you to speak up, especially in smaller groups, or on-on-one. So, thats why suggestion. And if being around them starts to bring you down, tempt you to do wrong, etc.. then it may be time to put some distance there. We all hate to lose friends, but in the bigger picture you have to decide where your priorities lie. In friends or faith.
 
Well if you are the one holding on to your non-christian friends, eventually they will influence your walk with God and will change you. But if they are the ones holding on to you, you are gonna change them. My advise to you is to let them go... But to never stop praying for their salvation... And I also suggest that you ask God to guide you. I will pray for you, God bless
 
in high school i had a bunch of "christian" friends. i was one of them too. there were these two girls who were SO on fire for God that the WHOLE school new about them. and they were SERIOUS. all through high school they were called fakes and posers and etc but in college our friends from high school are seeing that they not only still believe but they're acting out their faith and are turning towards God.

Just because someone says they're christian doesn't mean they're being christ like. BE the example. show them what God wants them to do. if you know it then lead them to better places. they'll see the difference in your life and want to follow. thats what happened with me.

I have the same problem. I can talk with my non Christian friends so much easier, and i think i have more of them. I want them to come to Christ but i feel so alone in leading them to him...
