I used to be that way, Dace. I could only really feel comfortable discussing my faith with my friends, family and fellow church members. But then I came to know Jesus more closely than ever before, lost my anger and hurt I had carried for years.Dace said:Guilty.Denim Deb said:How true! And, while I'm sure most of us on here that are professing Christians aren't ashamed of Jesus, I'm sure we all, in one way or another, deny Him. How often do we let a chance for witnessing go by, or not object when someone uses the Lord's name in vain. I'm guilty of this myself, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
I guess because I am a newer Christian and not as well versed in the bible as so many of you I do have a hard time broaching the subject of God and my personal walk with Jesus. In my area (probably most of the US) it is not openly talked about unless it is with members of your church family or close friends who are also of Christian faith.....I guess you really don't know where someone is unless you open up the conversation....I am just not sure how.
Ideas?

I don't really give it a second thought anymore and I don't limit myself around certain people but talk freely to anyone about my God. He loves me, I love Him....He's my best friend! Why wouldn't I talk about Him? After all, He is the most important thing in this world to me!
