Like a boat with no oars, no sail and no motor, they end up somewhere far away. Perhaps they had embraced a basic faith in Jesus, but without intentional community, without incorporating spiritual practices, without choosing to follow Jesus, they ended up drifting away. And finally, we can be deceived.

We listen to a buddy at work or a brother we respect, and our faith is quelled; we read a compelling book or watch a viral video, and the argument presented seems so persuasive. Without ever exploring valid alternatives, we accept a lie and faith is dislodged. There is an enemy, and he seeks to deceive and devour.

What do you think? No matter what comes…. No matter shakes or tries to bring you down…. There are many places that we can turn and the Adversary the Devil is just waiting for us to follow his ways…. I learned that though the toughest things come… I hang on…. We will make it! Good words of encouragement! Thanks for your reminder!

  6. 10 Reasons People Turn Away From Jesus?

Sorry Tom, I thought I was speaking to many people out there …. Well, it sure could be!! But specifically, I was quoting a time when Jesus challenged people who were interested in following him by telling them all: Related to the post above, people have sometimes assumed or been told that a life following Jesus is all wonderful and comfortable, when it can be very difficult though full of joy as well. And for each one of us, it may look quite different, depending on our life situation, that particular challenges that we face and the way Jesus is working in us.

What are the top reasons you’ve seen turn people away from faith in Jesus?

Skip to content I find stories of faith-change fascinating. Whether through church division or personal conflicts, people can question the validity of the Christian faith when Jesus followers seem less Christian than those outside the church. Often this is due to unrealistic and untrue expectations of what God was going to do in the first place, but it also can happen when God seems silent and unresponsive.

Are you even there, God? Related to disappointment, we can experience difficulties in life that can drive us away from God. Following Jesus can make life worse, blowing up relationships, inviting persecution, the rejection of family, and hard times. Don't have a Kindle?

Excellent book for those of us who passionately want our children to turn back to the Lord. I am only through three chapters, and I have found his words to be truthful, true to Scripture, compassionate, and wise.

He helps us face the past without being consumed or condemned by it. Action steps are great. He encourages us to trust in the grace of Jesus. I would not have thought of what he is saying on my own. I truly believe God led me to this book as a result of crying out to Him about my own inability to reach my children and to witness to them.

10 Reasons People Turn Away From Faith in Jesus

Thank you very much! Lori Soard, Author of Cupid's Quest. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This book is full of scriptural wisdom and smart advice. Yes, as Christian parents we need to pray. However, we also need to take action through words and the example we set. I found the advice about sometimes just listening particularly helpful.

This well written book gives a starting point for interaction with adult children who have left the faith.

I am on my second reading-this time working through the steps given. There are concrete things that we can do to try to turn our children's hearts back to the Lord. First we first search our own hearts make sure we are fully in tune with God. Then, we turn our hearts toward our children, then eventually they turn their hearts toward the Lord. It is not an easy self-help book, but a deeply thought-provoking, encouragement.

It is not hopeless, but it does require determination to get serious with God, and pray, pray, pray. Loved the examples and principles used. Good for parents of young children up to adult children.

Well worth the time to read and heed. I haven't finish this yet. Adult children are often pulled away by the influences of this world. This is an encouraging book that gives practical ideas on how to draw their hearts closer and back to our Lord.
