My father was the most resistant person to the gospel I’ve ever known. He warned me never to talk to him again about “that religious stuff.”

Question from a reader: While both of my parents are good people, neither of them has accepted Christ, and they are skeptical about organized religion.  I feel they’re running out of time, and I know if I don't tell them the truth, no one will. Can you suggest how I could best approach my unsaved parents about Christ in a loving but convicting manner?
