Satan and the world have convinced your friend that the last place they will find happiness is in Christianity. They don’t know that Jesus will make their life a wonderful way to live. It is true Christianity doesn’t offer EXTREME pleasure because it addicts and enslaves them.

One important thing your friend needs to understand is, Jesus has labelled those things that produce extreme pleasure as sins. But, the reason for that is because the end result of those things He labelled sin causes pain, emptiness, disappointment, and ultimately spiritual and physical death.

However, at this point, your friend doesn’t have to make any changes in their current life. Jesus’ is OFFERING them alternatives to their current lifestyle that He will help them trade for their sins. Plus, they must become saved before they make any significant changes anyway.

If your friend has been a Christian for awhile, Devotions With Jesus is Jesus’ way of showing them how to take advantage of ALL His provisions. A lot of Christians have only scratched the surface of all He has to offer. He wants to show them how to live an exciting and victorious Christian life.

When many Christians are around other Christians, they know how to talk, act, think, and feel. But the moment they get out in the world, they are very untrained and unequipped to live the Christian life around unsaved people. Jesus wants to use Devotions With Jesus to teach your friend how to take advantage of the power and excitement that He and the Bible have to offer.

You have experienced Jesus and know why your unsaved and Christian friends need to join you in Devotions With Jesus. The problem is, how do you convince THEM they need these things?
