The advice your mother gave you about never going shopping on an empty stomach is not just for the grocery store. People are spiritually hungry and are willing to buy anything to fill that void. Deep down, they might crave the Truth but are being tempted by other beliefs. While you can't choose what a searching friend or loved one decides to believe, you can steer them towards Christ. Here's how:

Start by sending them in the right direction

Show them there is a difference between brands. Then ask, are they filling up on fact or fluff?

Shopping checklist

Here are some other things to think about when directing a friend towards Christ

What's the biggest difference between the "brands of faith" your friend is considering?

Are they buying "boloney beliefs" or the real thing?

What other things are they filling up on other than God? (shopping, work, partying, etc.)

What is one way you can give them a tasty sample of Christianity?

How can you improve your own spiritual eating habits?

Remember, the wrong beliefs can always be exchanged for the right ones. It's never too late to find Christ.
