Have you guys ever felt what is it like to have a friend tell you 'I'm not a Christian anymore.' ?
I just did.
It didn't hit me that my friend could be slipping away and now he's gone.
i cried for him, i don't know why but when he said it, the words just hit me square on the head.
It was unexpected. Maybe because it was my first experience dealing with a close christian friend who just backslided, so subtly i didn't even know how.
I tried to talk to him and he may be facing hard times but then i said help is just a prayer away, and its always been this way. and the reply was :
' sorry i don't believe in this anymore'.
I felt like this gigantic wave just came over me and now i'm floating in the ocean , not knowing what to do. (help, anyone?)
It occured to me that some of our Christian friends may be slowing slipping away and if we don't do something, they may backslide till it becomes very difficult for us to bring them back. I'm not at liberty to share what happened but most of the time why people backslide is because they are not strong in their faith and they get disillusioned about how some Christians behave, right?
This reminds me of how i should behave as an ambassador of Christ.
So, right now all i can do is pray for him to come back to Christ and also to continue spreading the gospel , cause we never know if someone is feeling far from God and needs encouragement from us and the Bible!
sorry i made this post sound so emo, i just had to get everything out and this made me realise we cannot take many things for granted, including friends whom you thought had strong Christian faith .
JIAYOU my friends, and let's reach out to bring people back to Christ!
Love always, Viv

Well well Viv, i hope this incident had given you an opportunity to see what can probably happen along our faith and walk with God. There will be hardships, the Bible writes it even to encourage us to endure and continue doing what is right in times of troubles.
There will be those running the race tired because they didn't know they could soar on eagles' wings. They could probably run a few more clicks but running dry on fuel because the source doesn't come from the right place. Sadly, that's when they will fall away.
I feel for your friend, as well as for you. Never lose sight of God, its like walking with your eyes closed: how to see the path? Cont' to work on ur fren, who knows, this can his struggle and when through, will come back once again =D
