People lost for lack of witnesses?

[JoeMo]

Amen on all points, Gibs. I actually think it is less of a challenge to bring someone to Christ who has never stepped foot is a church than to bring someone who has been in church all their lives; but not yet given their lives to our Savior. As unconverted "Christians", many have grown insensitive and hardened against the still small voice that gently calls them; and their hearts are no longer moved by the glowing testimonies of those who are truly born again. Another challenge - some people with pre-conceived (but erroneous)ideas about about God and His Word have closed their minds to anything but their own view of things. I try to keep my mind open (not always successfully) to others' ideas. How can I expect them to respect my thoughts if I don't respect their's?
