How many of you are totally confused? Meaning when your at school or job and you have an opportunity to share the love of Christ but dont or Christ is brought up in a conversation and you dont say anything; your history teacher gives a one sided view of Christianity and you dont give the other. You want to share, start to, and then change your mind. I've definitely been guilty of that and know there must be others.
There are many different types of people, each having their own reason to avoid speaking up. For those who are not outgoing and prefer to be silent find that there throat is suddenly dry. Or who cant be quiet and love to please the crowd; don't want to bring up a touchy subject. Im not making excuses, there are none. It is difficult for all people; all for different reasons. We each have our struggles/burdens that hold us back. Queasiness from large crowds; fear of being judged; not used to speaking up; or not being a talker, the list goes on and on.
Most people just dont like bringing up a touchy subject, one that might offend people or start an argument. But they dont get the point. Even if you share about the love of Christ and the person blows you off; you've planted a seed. And what happens to seeds after awhile? They grow. All they need is some sun and water.
Talking about the love of Christ with non-christians is touchy. But you eventually will. Its inevitable. A lot like that awkward, conversation with your parents about $%!!. That is also inevitable, awkward, and non avoidable.
I thought Id throw that in so that you could kind of get the picture that these types of conversations can't be avoided. So why not make it worth it and lead someone to Christ?
