Topic: Psalm 66:16
"Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me." (Psalm 66:16)
I'm sure you've heard it said: "No one has the right to force their views on someone else!" Well, ask yourself, "Where would I be today if the person who introduced me to Christ had "minded her own business?'"
You can share Christ in a gentle spirit of love. You aren't "forcing" your views on anyone. When you speak gently and lovingly - the hearer is free to listen, change the subject, or even move away. My husband, Bill, brings many to give their hearts to Christ. Whenever he finds himself in this kind of situation, he prays silently that God would bind Satan and allow the person to hear the message and make a free choice.
It's most definitely a spiritual battle, but be assured: If Satan is causing problems - he's worried!
How can we respond if we're accused of "forcing our views" on others? (Isn't the person who tells us to "stop forcing our views" actually trying to force their views on US by telling us not to spread the Good News?)
