Psalm 81:10-16

   God had rescued the people from servitude in Egypt. He warned them that His blessing would continue only as long as they remained faithful to Him. But they would not obey Him. He let them suffer the consequences of following their own desires. In a sense, their adversaries were receiving spiritual and physical nourishment to a greater sense than those whom God had rescued. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! Psalm 81:13
   Occasionally newcomers to Christianity are misled in thinking that being a Christian means living a life of ease. God does provide us with the wherewithal to live in service to Him. That does not guarantee a smooth path to follow. It involves developing closeness to God through prayer to gain the wisdom to follow His direction, listening to Him instead of doing all the talking. We are assured eternal life when we live according to His purpose for us.

How can you guide a newcomer to Christ?
