Anyone who has been involved in the forums to which I refer knows very well that I rarely talk about religion unless it's in a specific context like this that people have chosen or in response to a question. <BR/><BR/>I'm not talking about any effort to "share His word"--I'm talking about being required to lie or drop out of conversations because it's not okay to admit to a belief in God even in the most passing reference, not being allowed to share any thoughts or positions that might in any way be founded in religion.<BR/><BR/>If even Christians who have chosen to read a blog like this jump to the conclusion that admitting to being Christian in public is synonymous with evangelizing and being offensive, perhaps it's not surprising at all that non-Christians have such a violent reaction.RockStorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12371944527312982978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-77073157162793924092008-02-21T18:36:00.000-08:002008-02-21T18:36:00.000-08:00I totally agree with Rob. The best way to evangelize is to live a life that inspires others to seek Him. <BR/><BR/>This isn't by bible-thumping or making people feel guilty all the time. Everyone has problems but what do Christians do about them? The most effective witnesses are in tune with their peers' struggles and they pray for them and best yet, share life with them.<BR/><BR/>So yes, stay true to who you are but perhaps you can share His word in more creative ways that do not prompt offensive reactions.<BR/><BR/>I've only been Christian for about 3 years and I'm still learning how to effectively share His love annd Truth - your post is certainly a good reminder and inspiration to keep pressing on.<BR/><BR/>Take care and God bless!Mewiehttp://mewie.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-34168254628044547662008-02-15T13:40:00.000-08:002008-02-15T13:40:00.000-08:00Of course we need to live in ways consistent with our values, but I would hope that the emphasis lies rather in the example and less in the exegesis.Robphilosophersdeli.comnoreply@blogger.com
