Wow. I must admit the idea of “making friends so they can come to church” has always felt strange, but when you’re in College, a new Christian honed for “leadership” you don’t ask these questions. I’m glad life has changed now and I see this oxymoron of “friend-making” for the sake of bringing someone to faith. If they are indeed my friends, shouldn’t I care for them unconditionally, even if they choose to be agnostics or Muslims? Should I abandon friendship when my formal proselytizing testimony “fell on deaf ears?” what kind of friendship is it if I always feel superior, as one holding keys of all truth, never making a mistake, never able to learn from people who believe differently than me?
