Speak... But Not With Your Lips

"Oh I know I'm going to hell."
"I'm running straight to hell."
"Yea, I'm probably going to hell for that one. oh well, hell might be kinda fun!"

These are things that i hear from ny surrounding friends on a near daily basis. It breaks my heart because i know there is almost nothing i can say new to them that they have never heard before. And also...i know they're right. i want to scream at them, "Hell is no joke! dont play around, this is serious!" but i have a feeling that they'll...
1. laugh
2. scream back
3. start a 'religious debate'

But what can i do? I have the freedom to talk about whatever i wish...noted, but, i have the feeling that if i go about this the wrong way, i just may end up turning someone in the wrong direction. So my options are limited.
1. join in with them
2. wing it, tell them the truth and hope for the best
3. pray that God keeps me on track and live my life

Yea, definitely think i'll go with 3. Why? Because, if i chose 1) i'd be not only risking their salvation, but mine too. if i were to choose 2) well, it's kinda risky, like gambling with thier souls. true, i cant really gamble with their souls cuz it's not in my power, BUT i may be the largest enforcement of Christ in their lives and thats very important. So, back to the question Why did i choose 3)? Because if i live the way God wishes for me, then His light will shine through in a way that will minister to the people around me. they will be able to see the love of Christ and will be drawn to it. And those that truly want his love will reflect on what they see and accept him. The others who dont, wont. Cant gain them all, even Paul says "I become all things to all men that i might gain some." And also, if the time were to come that i had to verbally witness, i'd know what to say because the Lord i trust, would give me the words. =)
