HI all, First I just wanted to say that so far so good.
I am however wandering what everyone thinks about this situation. I got a call from someone who is addicted to porn and always has it playing on his tv. In the past I would talk with him but he either talks about a jubject I rather not talk about or he gossips and lies alot. Now I don't hate him as matter of fact I would love to see him get saved and give up those habits. Any way he called me today and left me a message. Do you think it is wrong for me not to call him back?

I have talked to him about God and what Jesus did for our sins but he just got mad and told me not to talk about.

I am just wondering what everyone thinks because I kinda feel bad for not calling him back. The thing is I have a good Idea what it is he wants to talk to me about.
Thanks and GBU

bluebird, if you know that your calling someone might lead you into temptation, it is often best you refrain from doing so. Does it mean you don't care about this person? By no means. You should pray for them. But right now as you grow in your walk with the Lord, don't allow yourself to walk into a fall. If you think you can call this person without falling, then it would be ok...but if you know you can't...then best to leave them to God.

Just my thoughts.

luv ya
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

hi blue good question!

When it comes to temptation, sometimesthere are activities that we may do to avoid or alleviate the problem. If we are tempted by being in a certain place or with certain people, we can obviously choose, if at all possible, to not go to such a place or be with such people.

A person with high tolerance should not push
