There is a woman in my town that is wanted for a crime and I think I know where she is. I am a friend of hers but do not condone her behavior. I feel the Christian thing to do is notify authorities where she is due to the situation she caused. I don't know how to assure anonymity if I do it and I also need to know if Jesus wants me to help or not get involved. Trapped between friend and Morales.

Most police depts have a silent witness type line where you can make an anonymous tip like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may sound cold but it isn't,he was brought to his knees and got through those 5 years with the Comfort,Joy & Peace of the Lord God......Eternally Saved,5 yrs was nothing compared to Eternity Anyway,I'm praying you hear Gods Voice and just follow wherever He Leads,no matter what that may be- Praise Jesus With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing to do is to let them know and maybe it will help her to not continue in this crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what we think is right is a matter of perspective. If she was my friend the right thing would be pray for wisdom and pray the Lord grant her repentance and renew a right spirit in her. I would pray till i felt compelled to speak to her. i would go be honest with her and not shield her from seeing the truth about her situation. It would be right to to tell her shes just digging a huge hole for herself and the end of the path she is on is pretty much prison, mental hospital or death.. I think the right thing would be to let her know there is peace in doing what is right in the sight of God and a hope for her futute. Right to me would be tell her how much the Lord loves her and to share the gospel and let her know if she does whats right a stops running from her mistakes i would stand beside her as she faces them because i am her friend but i cant be a partner in crime and help her hide from the police because i am a christian first. But like some one told you. you should ask the Lord how he wants to use you in this situation. i would alsi tell her if she doesnt turn herself in she needs to leave and not telk me because if the police ask im telling the truth.
