Should I Hang Out With Non-Believers?

Let me start by giving you a clear and simple answer....YES! As a believer I have heard other believers make comments like "you need to hang out with other Christians". While it is true that sometimes you may have to break off unhealthy relationships that may cause you to stumble as a new believer, it is not true that you should not associate with non-believers. I actually think as believers we should spend less time with other believers and use that time to develop relationships with those who do not have Christ in their life. Sure we should fellowship with one another. But, if we sit back in Church and wait for the non-believer to come to us, it is never going to happen. You have to take the message of Jesus Christ to them, right where they are. This may bring you close to drugs, alcohol, addiction, depression, and sorrow. Just remember though, you have the cure for this misery and suffering...Jesus Christ!

In 1 Corinthians 9:22 -23 (TNIV) it says "To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings." So be more like Jesus and don't turn your back on someone because they are not a christian.  Get close the them, become whatever you need to be, go where you need to go, and simply do anything short of sin to bring the message of Christ to that person.
