Christian friends...

[LiveForHim]

Like none of my friends are Christian and it's hard sometimes... so I'd like to talk to some Christians.

If you'd like to either PM me, or add me on MSN (def_juxie@hotmail.com) or AIM (PerceptionzBlind)

God bless.

I too have no Christian fellowship, other than talk jesus, chat rooms etc.

I never think its hard though.

Being surrounded by none believers makes me see the real importance of having Christ in ones life.

Re: Christian Friends - the making of relationships

When I first came to Christ, I had a gigantic inferiority complex. I honestly felt that if I died before my wife did, she would have to hire pallbearers to carry my body out of the funeral parlor.

However, through a 12-step program, I learned the secret to making friends: You just put out your hand and say, "Hello, my name is..........." You don't need to prepare fore a ten-minute conversation. Just introduce yourself with a smile and then let the other person go free. Don't try to force the other person to talk.

I tried it at my church. I volunteered to be a greeter at Sunday services for a couple of months, opening doors for people entering the building and introducing myself as they approached. It worked! It really did! Not every introduction blossomed into a friendship. Its a numbers game. I'd say at most 20% of the people I shook hands with over that period became true friends. But, I shook a lot of hands and wouind up with a bunch of friends.

It doesn't have to be scary. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Keep it simple.

Hi LiveForHim!
I completely understand your point, because well.. though I have a christian group of friends... at my university it seems like I'm the only christian there. I spend a lot of time at it, and of course with those non christian friends... of course that being around them makes you realize about how bleesed you are about havin Jesus in your life... But also sometimes I feel really lonely, and sad...
So I encourage you to pray for it, because i think having christian people around you helps a lot emocionally and to know a bit more the love of our SAviour.
But... I can say you can count on me if you need anything.

blessings!!!
Patty

mmm... check mi email on my profile or pm me!!!

Re: Christian friends

When you say that it seems like you are the only Christian at that university, it sounds as if you are listening to discouragement that the enemy is whispering in your ear so as to neutralize you.

Remember what the Lord said to Paul about his mission in Corinth: "Do not be afraid. Keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you and no one is going to attack you and harm you, because I have many people in this city." (Acts 18:9-10).

It is not a unique thing to feel 'alone' as we follow Jesus. Even Jesus said "I am alone" but he immediately made a correction "Yet not alone, the Father is with me" Elijah moaned "I am the only one left" He was having a bad day.

We Christians should be outgoing. As my fellow mod SLE says stretch out your hand. Introduce yourself. I feel many will be quite surprised just how easy it is.

God Bless

finding Christian friends at a University was a blessing for me. God led me to the BCM, Baptist Collegiate Ministries, where a lot of Christians hung out between classes, they have events, bible studies, i'm involved in wed night worship with that band, intramurals, there are so many things. And at my school in atl they made me feel really welcomed when i walked in the first time. I encourage you to find a similar organization at your school. Over here at the BCM it's not a committment that you have to go there, but it's a place to build solid friendships and get involved spiritually if you really want to. Hope all goes well
