Let him visit him, tenderly care for him, and lovingly respect his wishes not to hear the forbidden message. Consider the extent of our accomplishment they would rather see a loved one go to hell than be seen as pushy by insisting on telling him the truth. The Enemy calls them to be truth-tellers in the name of love. We call them to be truth withholders in the name of not being pushy. It s delicious what we ve pulled off here Christian family, hospice workers, nurses, and doctors caring for the dying, and in the interests of ethics or professionalism withholding what their patients long for.
Christian counselors meet with troubled, desperate people whose lives have fallen apart.
But because they came to get help with their addictions or their marriages, the counselors consider it unethical to exploit them by sharing the forbidden message. We have countless Christian teachers dealing with lonely, troubled, and desperate students. They could speak to them about the Carpenter, but don't because they fear reprisals or have no sense of urgency. Familiarize your vermin with the concept of lifestyle or friendship evangelism. True, it s often proven deadly to our cause, but only by that minority who consciously use their friendships as a foundation to actually tell people about the Carpenter.
