As I think about the numbers of people that don’t know Christ as their Lord and Savior, I am struck with the reality that these very people are searching.
These very people are spiritual. Though, not Christians, they want something more our of life. Such people can be found in a cult called Growing in Grace.
How to Grow a Following: “Tickle the ears of those you want to reach”
While this belief is full of contradictions, he has raised up a cult who CONTINUE to accept his teachings, while denying his death and claiming his immortality.
I am not sure where denial becomes delusional, but one thing I know: a frontal assault at the beliefs of these people probably will not work. Namely, trying to convince them through sound reason probably will be without much success (unless God is guiding you in this direction)!
My reasoning is that people will put together some extremely convoluted thoughts that support their irrational beliefs, and the more one tries to ‘hammer sense’ into them -or even, ‘lovingly hammer sense’ into them, the more such individuals will build walls of resistance.
One SURE way to erode the lies that people embrace is through prayer. Let God lead you in this as you pray for those whom you know that don’t know Him as personal Lord and Savior, while remembering that God, Himself is far more concerned for their salvation than we could ever imagine
However, if my people, who are called by my name,
will humble themselves,
pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways,
then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their country.
