We continually grow in Jesus Christ. As we grow, there will be changes in our lives. God blesses us when we have the right heart attitude in any thing we do. Misconceptions about Christian living can hurt our walk with the Lord and affect our heart's attitude. In a place like prison that takes away our physical freedom, it is important for your friend or loved one to have a balanced sense of freedom in Christ. Freedom in Christ does include obedience, but the right kind of obedience, God's desired obedience, not manmade or self made restrictions.
If, after a period of time, the new Christian inmate seems to be continuing in the same activities with no change or new interests it might be good to talk with him to make sure he is still feeling peace and joy in his life. If he is not or if something is missing, perhaps you on the outside can see that he is in a rut (spiritually or physically or mentally) and suggest a fresh change to stimulate his heart, mind and soul. And above all else, pray, pray, pray for him.
Dear Reader - are you at peace with God? If not, you can be. Do you know what awaits you when you die?

Either Jesus Christ died for your sins, or He didn't (He did!). Are you prepared to stand before God on the Judgment Day and tell Him that you didn't need the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross to have your sins forgiven and get in right-standing with God? We plead with you...please don't make such a tragic mistake.

What you do about being reconciled to God will determine where you will spend eternity, precious one. Your decision to be reconciled to God is the most important decision you'll ever make in this life, because in Christ, it is impossible to put a value on the worth of your soul in light of eternity.

Remember: All that we do in this life comes back to our God-given purpose which is to serve and glorify God. The money and assets we accumulate, the fame and power we've attained or seek to attain - all of the things of this nature will one day pass away, but those lives of others we impact for Jesus Christ will last for eternity, and we will be rewarded for the part we helped play by impacting those lives ... for eternity. (Matthew 6:19-21 is our assurance)
