Actions speak louder than words, I would say witness to him by the way you live your life for Jesus.

Grace to you,

Pour forth Living Water. Work the very Word that has indwelt you with His Love.

Even as the others have said. Witness to him with your very life. :21:

Sometimes it is just a persistent, consistent Witness of Christ's Power and Love in your life that will enable him to see Jesus.

Walk it out and make him very thirsty for what you do have. :blink:

Peace,

Dave

Purplemountain;

As somebody who has come out of the gay lifestyle, I hope I can shed a little light. The reason this coworker of yours wants nothing to do with God is two fold. One, he already is convicted, he knows God doesn't approve of his lifestyle. Second, there are very many loud Christians that preach hate towards and about homosexuals. So he already has his guard up.

To help him see the truth, well that's a little more difficult. I would have to agree with the other posts so far. If this coworker knows you're a Christian, he's going to be watching you. So walk the walk.

The biggest thing a homosexual lacks is love. He has a huge void in his life and he fills it with the gay lifestyle. What he really needs is true love, not homosexual sex.

I would like to refer you to a couple of great ministries. You will get a lot of information from them. One is Exodus International North America (they are online) and Regeneration (they also are online). Regeneration has a seperate link for their books https://regenbooks.com/ I would suggest you go to this website and review all their books. They have books written for the homosexual himself, for counselors, for parents, etc. I'm sure you can find a book that would help you in ministering to this coworker.

Because I come from the gay lifestyle (11 years now), I am willing to discuss this with you, if you want to go a little further or if you have any specific questions. Please feel free to ask me. You can post your questions here or you can PM me.

I hope I've been a little help to you.

Blessings;

Corey

Here is what I did with a gay co-worker.

I brought him a rainbow colored friendship bracelet that said "Jesus Loves You".

The gays use rainbow colors as their identification colors.

He just loved it and hugged me.

I let him know that Jesus loves ALL us sinners.

Next step is to get him to church.

Give me some time.

Build the friendship and trust first.

Show Christian love.

love him with every moment possible.

If you work together show him your mercy through patience, warmness, and love. I have found it to be powerful witness to abstain from gossip in the workplace, but don't act like you are completely uninterested in talking about other people or circumstances.

Like others said make him thirsty for what you have.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
