How often do you profess your Christianity?

[Droobie]

Do you tell people that you're a Christian the first time you meet? Do you subtly weave it into the conversation. Does it just pop in at an appropriate moment? Do you only answer if asked? Are you ashamed?

[Konnie]

Every chance I get.

[Palatka44]

You know, I honostly have a problem choosing a catagory. I have been guilty of all aspects of this poll, save the never choice.

[Palatka44]

However I do tend to want People to figure out what I am. I am a little uncomfortable shouting LOOK AT ME I'M A CHRISTIAN. My life should show it. After all they were first called Christians at Antioch. Does this not show that the deeds of the saints at Antioch espoused their Christian faith?

[Wolflily]

I'm with you, Palatka. For the first year or so after I became a Christian, I was so excited about it I had to make it well known. Now, after a few years of testing, trial, and learning to walk daily with the Lord, I really try to make sure my life reflects more of what I believe than just yak off at the mouth about it. I find it's easier to be MORE open about my faith once I've established some trust with another person, unless they bring it up first.

[TrustNo1]

if im talking to a muslim at school about some sort of religious debate i use the bible and christianity so they know that i am a christian. if i meet someone it takes time for me to tell them unless they ask and i say "yep i love being one." i dont go around saying "I AM A CHRISTIAN HEAR ME ROAR." :P

[Spurgeon]

I have more opportunity on the internet. But Yes!

[Creationist2004]

I do whenever i get a good opportunity.
There are times when telling people iam a Christian would be more likely to drive them away from God. That is not what God wants.
So i tell all the people i meet and become friends with, but at the best times when they are more likely to listen.

[sammipher]

I don't mind telling anyone I am a christian...if I deny my Lord he will deny me. I am not embrassed or ashamed. I don't mind bringing it up in a conversation or anyone asking me. Some people don't like to admit they are a christian because they are afraid of fitting in...the thing is ...is if your in place that doesnt except christ do you really want to be there?

[Snowy]

Every chance I get! :) :clap:

[TrustNo1]

i think saying your a christian every chance you get is wrong. take this for example.

Me: "Hi, pleased to meet you. How are you?"
Person: "Good how are you?"
Me: "I'm great thanks, yourself?"
Person: "Yeah I'm alright"
Me: "I'm a Christian"
Person: "Ok......"
Person walks away slowly.

or this
Me: "Hi."
Person: "Hi."
Me: "I'm a christian"
Person walks away wondering where that came from.

[Krystina661]

Only when asked, or if I know them on a personal level.

[twistedsketch]

Only at appropriate times. I try neither to advertise it nor hide it.

[growingupinhim]

I don't mind telling anyone I am a christian...if I deny my Lord he will deny me. I am not embrassed or ashamed. I don't mind bringing it up in a conversation or anyone asking me.

good point..I am amzed how many christians play with the world..! :wave:

[Angeldove97]

Working at a Christian site in the Missions area, I try to set up missions for the site where we can have a large outreach to people. We also focus on improving our witnessing knowledge and we learn how to deal with different situations and peoples. God gave us two jobs basically to do as Christians on this earth: to love everyone and to spread the Gospel. If we do get a chance, no matter how scared we may be, we need to share our faith and also be ready to defend our faith if it comes to that. ~Angel

[jeffs_girl_2004]

Every chance I get. I tell people normally on the first meeting with them.

[Krystina661]

For some reason, if people start talking about religion when I first meet them, I feel their a little out of place because its such a personal issue. Also.. people who seem over-religious creep me out a bit. Don't know why, but that's just me..

[†Neil†]

I think that going around saying your a Christian anytime you can will offend people because not everyone wants to hear some religious nut going about stuff that they don't like. If you are asked your faith then it's good to say it. If your talking about a topic that can be discussed from a Christian view then it will become obvious of what religion you are from what you say. If you want to witness to someone then it's good to tell them your a Christian.

[Lightning]

I profess my Christian belief daily

I love God the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ.

[Lightning]

I hope you also comfess God the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ.

[Lightning]

good point..I am amzed how many christians play with the world..! :wave:

You may be in the world, but you is not of the world!

[Adiel batKelev]

It shows, G-d willing, in everything I say and do and choose....

[Glorianna]

I witness by my life, not through words. But if a controversial topic comes up that I have a different opinion about because I am a Christian, I will witness with words.

[mle]

some where between every chance I get and subtly wherever appropriate

[Kathy]

Subtly wherever appropriate......

[Samueel]

Sometimes almost to a fault...if that's possible;)

[jeshohaia]

Should I do anything else but constantly?

[rubberduckie]

I try to inasmuch as I can. It's earned me the nicknames like MotherTheresa (don't ask why I'm confused), church girl, and just "she's gonna try to convert us all" and "Bible thumper".. Yeah you guys know what it's lke. :) I like it (but only God can convert :) )

[violetstar]

If I have the proper amount of time, of course I would.

[Grace_of_God]

Well, who I am is a Christian. It is not a PART of me, it IS me and everything else is secondary to my character. So everything I do, I try to do with a Christian mind and heart.

God bless,
~Grace~

[rua2j33]

There is no doubt among the people who know me where I stand. I often pray that God will give me the opportunity to witness.

[TheMainException]

I try not to over-do-it because some of my friends get really frustrated with me when I talk about God, but I try to slip it in there whenever I get the chance.

[PaladinGirl]

However I do tend to want People to figure out what I am. I am a little uncomfortable shouting LOOK AT ME I'M A CHRISTIAN. My life should show it. After all they were first called Christians at Antioch. Does this not show that the deeds of the saints at Antioch espoused their Christian faith?
Actually, I'd think it is a little hard to tell if someone is a Christian just by observing them. I mean think about it. You go to Wal-Mart and you see hundreds of people inside. Odds are, most of them are Christians. Can you honestly tell who is a Christian and who is not by looking at them? I seriously doubt it. Someone could be walking around with all the nose rings, tongue rings, ear rings, belly button rings, and every other sort of body piercing you could imagine and dressed in complete black and be a Christian. And then again, the person in on the other side of the aisle wearing a pretty floral dress with nice heels could be an Atheist too. So could guy the guy wearing a nice suite and who is carrying a Bible. My point is that you shouldn't judge people on how they look. I'm not accusing you of that but I am just saying that it's really impossible to let your life show that you are a Christian unless you go around quoting Bible verses all the time or something and even then it's not certain. I could see you in church every single Sunday praising God and being very active in the congregation and still not know if you are a Christian. Some are hypocrites and are very good at showing their hypocrisy.

I understand you being uncomfortable making it blatant that you are a Christian. I am too. Christianity is personal for me. It's not something that I feel that I need to blurt out to the whole world. Most people would probably think that I am not a Christian though because I am pretty liberal on most things and many people tend to think that no Liberal is a Christian which just isn't true.

[call-me-dan]

Do you tell people that you're a Christian the first time you meet? Do you subtly weave it into the conversation. Does it just pop in at an appropriate moment? Do you only answer if asked? Are you ashamed?

I only answer if asked. It creates awkward situations if you are constantly trying to hint that you are a Christian, not to mention that it soundes incredibly concieted and snotty. They should be able to tell by how you live, not by what you say.

"Share your faith with others. Only use words when neccessary"
-anonymous

[Moros]

I usually answer when asked, other than that I don't really mention it.

[faith by day]

At the right time to say...... But maybe everyone should know your a christian....... hmmmmm never thought about it this deep before

[Touring3D]

Lately, I have't been on fire as I once was. But, I try to profess Christ every chance I get. I'm not subtle about it either. :)

[Izzy23]

I witness every chance I get. Sometimes we don't get a second chance and the time is getting close.

[noellejoi]

I wish I did it as much as possible but Im just so shy.

[Sacrifice]

Normally when I'm asked. I don't go around with the word christian on my forehead, but i don't hide it either.

[The "J"]

I'm subtle.

[The "J"]

Whenever appropriate.

[brinny]

I don't keep count. Don't even get me started :P

[gizmo03]

I am sad to say I don't do it as often as I should.. but when in certain situations I do try to let it be known.

[Nevada77]

It isn't the first thing I say. but I do work it into the conversation as soon as I can.

Nevada :angel:

[yashuaskid]

Do you tell people that you're a Christian the first time you meet? Do you subtly weave it into the conversation. Does it just pop in at an appropriate moment? Do you only answer if asked? Are you ashamed?
I don't get in a persons face and start preaching to them. I do not hide my faith. If God tells me to pray over someone, for example, and I know they don't believe in him...I would still obey God and do as he commands. We can't be afraid of who we are and still try to serve God. It just won't work.

[okiemommy26]

every chance i get

[Neal]

All the time... especially if God comes into play... (and of course, is there ever a time He doesn't?).

[Maeyken]

I don't generally walk around saying "Hi, I'm Mae, I'm a Christian..." but if someone asks I will definitely tell them. The way I see it, my actions should show it.

[Maeyken]

I guess I sort of do work it into the conversation though, since I often talk about my involvement with my church... so then it is sort of assumed. Also, whenever people ask about how I met my bf, I tell them (it was at a church service) so then they also find out.

[Zoomer]

It's not the first thing that I tell a person when I met them. However, I do not hide the fact that I am Christian.

[MeekOne]

We do not get many chances to proclaim the Word of God. We need to do it as often as we can to as many people as we can. He has commissioned us to do that...see Acts 1:8. I try to do it daily, and everyone I know knows Who I belong to.

I wish everyone had a chance to know Him personally. :amen:

[k]

Currently, it is "every chance I get." This did not happen overnight. I remember very clearly the first months in my two way relationship w/ Christ the times I was led to share. Sometimes I did, sometimes I was too embarrassed. I could literally feel a spiritual persecution around me whenever I thought about mentioning the Beautiful Name.

Through Grace and prayer, I learned to trust the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our faith should be apparent in our actions, but in getting to know people, even meeting for the first time, if the leading is there, follow it.

It is nearly impossible to not voice gratefulness for God. Some people avoid verbalizing their faith, not because they are embarrassed, but rather to avoid the challenge of yielding to the Holy Spirit.

Peace

[Steve_SandbachBaptist_UK]

I put "only if asked" but it should of course be "Every chance I get"

Steve

[jcright]

I guess subtely. Many people don't like having God "rammed down their throat", so I make it a point not to scare them off.

[Saruman]

Like said before, I don't want to be obnoxious and shout, "HEY I'M A CHRISTIAN." The way I act should be enough for people to know I'm a Christian. I am never ashamed to say I am a Christian, I am proud to be one.

[PaladinGirl]

Not very much for me. I am pretty subtle about it. My beliefs are personal and I don't feel the need to let everyone know about them.

[Hisbygrace]

I talk about Christ every chance I get, I love to tell how he changed my life to all that want to listen. I try not to push myself and my beliefs on anyone, but given the opportunity I love to tell everyone I love Christ because He first loved me. Ashamed? How could anyone be ashamed of the One that changed their life completely?! Yet I will say that when I first started witnessing I was scared of peoples reactions and rejection, until God let me know that I was not the one being rejected His Son was. Then He let me know not to take foolish chances, but to follow the Holy Spirit and I would be protected.

[labellady]

I try to live my life as a christian, people notice how you act.

[chris714ndud3]

when asked, or when the conversation turns toward religion

[MeekOne]

Re 9:6
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

Just want to reiterate how important it is for us to tell others about Christ and the message of salvation that is so freely given. There are going to be people in hell praying for death, but it will not come to them. It is our commission to get the message out to as many people as we can, this is what Christ wants us to do, it is our purpose here. Now that we have the knowledge of what He has done for us, we cannot keep it hidden. We shall not be ashamed of our Lord, for if we are, He will be ashamed of us before His father.

It is our commission to spread the gospel of Christ Jesus....see Acts 1:8 :)

[faith renewal]

I don't walk up to people and say, "Hi, I'm Katy and I'm a Christian." But I'm not afraid to share it, and usually anyone who talks to me for more than five minutes will figure it out. Maybe that's because every five minutes I'm headed for another event at church!

[Machin Shin]

not often enough

[kissybug27]

I'm very happy that I'm a christian and don't mind sharing with people that I am. I'm not one of those people that just walks up to you and says "Hey I'm a Christian" but I would say that 99% of people I meet leave me knowing that I am regardless if I have come right out and said it or not.

[sinner/SAVED]

Not nearly often enough.

[Fonzy]

i have never

[draconus71]

every chance i get

[Utah Knight]

all the time because i am one of gods people and he desearves all

[someone_else]

i would like to be able to say when ever i get the chance but i dont think that would be truthfull of me. i think im inbettween the first two options. im pretty open about it but maybe not as much as i could be

[reformedfan]

yeah, it's easiest to be right up front about it

[shazabella]

I am not ashamed to tell people that I am a child of God

- Shaz

[elm0]

I tend to mention church and that I run a church youth group in conversations, and leave it at that. If people want to ask more they can, but I tend to let my life do the talking for me.

[byfaith1965]

When I meet people that I find interesting or would like to get to know better I usally ask what chuch do you go to? Its funny because a friend and I were just discussing how much you can find out about what is important to a person by what kinds of questions they ask.

[ParaCristo]

I do at every chance I get...... But I am bit O' the Jesus Freak

[Kekkaku Ryuu]

Only when someone asks me what religion I believe in. People would probably think that I'm weird if I talked about it all the time.

[Joven]

When people ask me to do something bad or evil, I deliberately would tell them that I'm a Christian and won't do that kind of thing they want me to do. I always depend on the situations whether I should tell that I'm a Christian or not. Sometimes, when they get closer to me, they eventually notice that I'm living differently among them, and so, they become curious and would ask me if I'm a Christian. Then I gladly will them "Yes, I'm a Christian." I'm not ashamed if they will reject me. But most of all, people, deep in their hearts, want to be with us (Christains) rather than their friends that lead them to eternal death.

[SweetLyn]

whenever I need to .

[PaladinValer]

Always. St. Francis of Assisi said once "preach the Gospel always; use words only when necessary."

[Richard]

I like to refer to my signature.... We are a Walking Bible, that NON Christians read everyday by our actions. So by that I confess my faith every chance I have ..... by living the life

[Richard]

Always. St. Francis of Assisi said once "preach the Gospel always; use words only when necessary."


Exactly :P

[die2live]

Whenever I can. The problem for me is finding the right opportunity and actually being able to think of something to say at that time, before its too late. What I "can" do is often more limited than I would like.

[AliceSOBEstudent]

I voted for:Subtly wherever appropriateHowever, that's not quite accurate. I actually tend to bring it up with any new people I meet right away so that I can share the gospel with them. I also share with my family. However I have a couple of old friends (from HS) who knew me so well before I was saved and with whom I used to share a lot of very anti-Christian thoughts. So I have had trouble to just tell them. I am bringing it up a little bit at a time, but I am praying for boldness.

[purpleunicorn_Andi]

I try to let Jesus shine thru me. if someone asks I'll tell them my beliefs, what church I attened. I tell friends and coworkers all the time that I am praying for them.

[maylu_roll]

I manage to weave it into the conversation somehow. Ive told almost every one I know so yeah...

[sherlockmcbride]

Do you tell people that you're a Christian the first time you meet? Do you subtly weave it into the conversation. Does it just pop in at an appropriate moment? Do you only answer if asked? Are you ashamed?

Usually, Sometimes, Yeah, Yes, and No I'm not ashamed!!

[MQTA]

I rarely meet anyone who shoves it in my face, except for the gigantic jewelry some people wear, bumper stickers on cars, and other advertising methods. There's only one person off the net who shoves it in my face every chance he gets, no matter the topic, it all gets steered back to the same old derogatory insinuations he spews. There's just no talking to him about anything else. Then he wonders why people stop talking to him.

[YC Bearzie]

Not ahamed at all-however I don't just bring it up outta the blue either b/c I know it often makes others feel uncomfortable.

[Illuminite]

I love to proclaim my love for JESUS CHRIST. my crucifix is always upon me,its right there in the open..what usually happens is people will say they love my cross and the conversation leads us to Jesus.

[freyajem]

Somewhere between "every chance" and "subtly..." . Not subtle but not proclaiming it all the time. When religion comes up, I am up front about my beliefs.

[day2day]

you know, sometimes I don't have to; God just puts me in situations, where he just in the atmosphere. I just start talking and they may say you are christian aren't you, I love it.:clap: I love to share my faith.;)

[AvgJoe]

Not often enough.

[*Starlight*]

I keep it to myself. I always try to avoid talking about it, because I think that it's too personal. But if someone asks, I tell them.

[faith guardian]

This poll is one I will not answer - yet. Do you mean with actions, or words, or both?

[ServantOrion]

I do it when it seems apropriate but I should probably do it more

[PlumTea]

I'll happily talk about it when it's appropriate. I think I come across better when I'm comfortable..Although I do prefer to be asked, then they can't say I pushed my beliefs on them.

[-Lily-]

Not as much as I should.. :o

[halifaxhoney]

When I'm asked I will tell someone. I think that it's personal and I like to keep personal details to myself.

[one way]

I tell people I'm a Christian if they ask me why I act in a certain way, or if I say something that comes from the Bible that they've never heard before.

[justonelittlelamb]

good question. *thinks I should profess mine more*

[MeekOne]

When I'm asked I will tell someone. I think that it's personal and I like to keep personal details to myself.

Truly not trying to convict you here, but the Lord does not want you to keep His message of salvation to yourself. Keeping the personal details of your road to salvation is fine, but His Word clearly states that if we belong to Him, we are to go out and do some fishing. If you have Jesus inside of you, how can you keep Him all to yourself? Something to think about. :)

[Silent*Tears]

Shamefully: Only when asked

[DanielJamesSimon]

I put subtly wherever appropriate. I think that's probably true, though perhaps it's closer to "whenever asked" - much to my shame, I admit. I'm open about it if asked. I think though that I'm pretty much like that in anything in certain circles - for example at work or on my sport teams, nobody knows anything about me unless they ask. In circles I'm comfortable in, I'm much more open about anything, and Christianity is included in that. So both "subtly wherever appropriate" and "whenever asked" in different circumstances.

Though of course, this is if "profess your Christianity" means talk verbally about it. I "profess" my Christianity with my actions all the time (or at least try to), and people at least notice that I'm different. Everyone picks up that I don't swear pretty quickly, for example. Often this might lead to conversations which lead to my professing my Christianity verbally.

[HisLilyWhitePrincess]

I used to go out on evangelism, but now more if people ask, or if someone asks me why I won't do something

[jacko50]

when there is an appropriate time, i will tell people

[lgintrnj]

I can never deny my Lord. :thumbsup:

[lawtonfogle]

example,
when i walked into biology first day I said, "I am a Christian, and this book takes on the view of evolution, including evolution of man. I know this to be false, and I will prove so to anyone of you. Now, which of you are Christians?"

Let just say the teacher was a beleiver and she admitted that she did not beleive in evolution, expescialy of man. The students never challanged me.:P

[KinaBolina]

Lawtonfogle - That's awesome!

My dad gave me a cross necklace for high school graduation and I've worn it nearly every day ever since - that usually sparks people's interest. I bring up my faith when I meet most all people because I consider it my highest purpose in life to live for the Lord and if you're going to get to know me at all...that's the #1 thing I think you should know about me.

[GrammarGrl712]

I have only shared my faith a few times and both times was with friends (that weren't saved). I did not tell them because they asked me about it...in each circumstance it was different, but I brought it up every time I have shared my faith.

Sister in Christ,
Amy

[big1968dog]

Everyone who knows me, knows that I am a Christian. I hope I am living as a good witness for Christ, so that those who don't know me will know there is something different about me when they meet me.

[deetersdee]

I mean I don't go to the grocery store to the cashier and say "I'm a christian"
But usually when I meet someone, they know after the first conversation that I am a christian.
It keeps me accountable to those around me and NO I am not ashamed.

There are people I have met though, who don't have to say anything. I could tell they are a christian by their actions or personality and I have found out later that my hunch was right.

[rocklife]

There are different answers for me, it depends on who I am talking to. With family and old drug buddies, I had to come out and boldly proclaim a New Life in Christ. With acquaintances and small talk of people I will probably never see again in this generation, it is more subtle, but it is surprising to me how often God and relationship with Him does come up (especially when you look for the opportunity). Also, evangelism with tracts and literature and internet and gifts to the needy are great for sharing Jesus and salvation from sins too.

[xray01]

I'm not ashamed of it, but neither do I blow it in people's face. I don't deny it, and admit to i tif asked. If it's appropriate, I bring it up in conversation.

[laushe6]

Every chance I get. I have talked to customers in the restaurant about it and have rarely been snubbed about it.

[Redeemed_Warrior]

I normally drop into a converstation in a non forceful manner and let my manners and caring conduct show it.

[MQTA]

I guess I never meet any of you guys while out and about then. Never been in a restaurant where any employee started talking about it, either

[Stacey]

I try to make it clear I'm Christian and stick up for what I believe in... I think everyone I know know's I'm Christian.

[freyajem]

I find that God/Jesus/Christianity is a subject that seldom enters conversations. And if it does find it's way in, most people will quote the saying that the three things you don't talk about are Religion, Politics and Sex....I think sex is the last one. Because those subjects bring about arguments, disagreements and can even end up in fisticuffs.

If Religion does happen to come up, I say who I am, what I am, what I believe. I am not ashamed of what I believe but I don't tempt argument.

[PandaBear]

I said "subtly" for which I was referring to when I actually think I'm a Christian. Sometimes I don't know so I don't say anything.

[2LivIsChrist]

Every Chance i get. I mean there might have been times when i haven't, but im never ashamed to say that i am christian, no matter where or when.

[freyajem]

Oh, If that is what the question is, I never have a problem with saying I am a Christian. I am glad to be Christian and I am okay with people who are not Christian. I find that people who are not Christian are the ones who are hesitant to say so.

[Lake]

I profess my christianity in a subtle way.Although--I am ready at any time to debate and stand up for Christ if someone starts bashing Him

[Ladyday95]

Every chance I get....

[Athene]

I only tell people I know really well, and only if it comes up in conversation.

[freyajem]

I only tell people I know really well, and only if it comes up in conversation.

[Ohiomom2]

I don't come right out to a lot of people because I know people I know would be uncomfortable but if someone asks "are you done having kids" I tell them that the Lord is in charge of that. I also say things like Thank God, Praise the Lord, etc. I am not ashamed but I don't want to make others uncomfortable until their hearts and minds are open.

[scooby7688]

Unfortunately I hang around mostly Christians so they already know I am a Christian, but there are a lot of kids at school that I have told just in casual conversation.


In Christ's Love, Scott

[Witness Of His Love]

I'm home bound but get an opportunity to talk about my beliefs online.

[Blizzard1]

Not a Christian, so never.

[freyajem]

I think that behaving as a Christian speaks louder than any words ever could.

[Lori-lee]

I don't always wait to be asked, but i dont jump put at ppl from around corners and profess my Christianity either.
I like to think ppl could tell, or at least have a hunch. And I refer to christian/biblical things when im talking sometimes and then explain them better.

[GodFlute2]

When ever i can.

[Amy47]

I'm not always sure how to go about it...

[J4Jesus]

Usually every day

:preach:

[Interesting2me]

I'm not "politically correct" scripturely or secularly, as Jesus Christ/Messias said "If you deny me before men, I'll deny you before my Father in heaven". It also strenghthen's my faith in Echad "The United One" Deut.6:4/God Col.2:8-10, especially when the fruits are obvious, encouraging others ["Wise as a serpent and harmless as dove"]. I like being able to give a reason for my faith in season & out, as I look forward to Messias/Jesus, The Christ of Echad/God, saying to me "well done my good & faithful servant" when we are rewarded "after" The Great White Throne Judgement. There's also a scripture regarding "the fearful" in Revelations 21:7-8. :amen:

[Erinwilcox]

Practically everybody that I work with knows that I'm a Christian (one woman calls me a fanatic, but oh well). On my first day of college, I came home and told my mother about how many Christians that I found in my classes. She was amazed that I'd found out so quickly. Once you start being more bold, then it just comes easily! I tend to be really shy, but not when it comes to my faith!

[MeekOne]

Every chance I getImagine that, we answered exactly the same! :hug:

We do think alike, don't we.

[MeekOne]

We do think alike, don't we.Yes, we certainly do, and I just think it is the coolest thing! :clap:

[Maynard Keenan]

I do not hide it, but I do not flaunt it. If it comes up I say it. If I happen to talk about something I've done with church or where I went to school (Catholic school) I mention it. I just don't consider it something I need to make a point to let people know, or to keep from people.

I picked the last option due to I am not a christian.

Happy birthday Seeker

I consider myself to be a seeker as well. I am seeking to be closer closest I can to God.

What are you seeking?

[cygnusx1]

every second ................ it is either as good witness or a bad one , you don't stop being a Christian when you act bad .... :D

[crusader4peace]

i guess only wherever its appropriate.

[firestar]

Whenever I can naturally work it into conversation

[Big Mouth Nana]

I try to work it in to the conversation.

[GraceInHim]

profess your love for God daily and love others as well - people will feel the love shine off you :)

Every chance I get.God Bless :)

Luke 9:26"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."

[Qidron]

Somehow I'm never happy with the choices in these polls. Professing Christ is just LIFE...so in that sense I LIVE every chance I get! But I sure don't slam ppl with being a Christian...what sense does that make? That'd just make them roll their eyes...I'd rather touch a heart with the magificence that is Christ...and gain a sibling.

[HollyHobbie]

I don't get out much but I do try to tell others about Christ when I can ,though I have to be careful because the appartment complex considers it soliciting and we can get in trouble if reported or caught.

Though I have done it ! ;) from time to time. I find it easier to share online or in our Autism/multi disability disorder support group.

[Godslilgurlalways]

Whenever apporaite which is alot of the time, but I feel there is a time and place for everything, some things you jst can and can't do in certain places, And sometimes it's better to wait than to rush into it.

[notanordinarygirl]

Every chance I get nowadays, unless there is no way to bring it into the conversation, I try to state that I am a Christian. I am very proud of my faith. :)

[gal4God]

Subtly wherever appropriate

[handmaiden97]

I dotn shout it fromt he roof tops but everyone who knows me knows where I stand. I try to bring God into conversations in a subtle appropriuate way.....but at the same time I hope my life preaches the gospel all the time. I hope when people meet me they see Jesus in me.

Preach the gospel at all times. When neccesarry use words - St Fransis Assia

[flaglady]

Not nearly enough but more than I used to which was never!!!

[theAmishGirl]

This is an area that I need to work on.

[chadders]

Not very often cause I am Agnostic.

[ChrisCountryGirl]

If somebody asks me if I'm a Christian, I say YES!!!! I'm proud to have a close & personal relationship with God.

Chris

[plum]

subtly if it becomes appropriate. i am not ashamed of being a believer, but yet I don't think it needs to come up all the time

[doublejeannieuwb]

Do you tell people that you're a Christian the first time you meet? Do you subtly weave it into the conversation. Does it just pop in at an appropriate moment? Do you only answer if asked? Are you ashamed?
I used to feel awkward about sharing my christianity, and then I realized that people could talk about sex like it was a normal every day conversation that all should know about. That's something that should be kept in private between the couple. So, I started talking about God, and what He's done for me. To my astonished relief, no one looked at me like I was from another planet. So, now I speak about Him, what He's done for me, and my Christianity freely. It does get kind of funny when I tell them that I don't use a title to describe my beliefs. They want a title such as Catholic, Baptist, Prodistant, Jewish, and the like. I just tell them that I'm a Biblisist. I believe in the Bible, and not man made rules. Now that's funny. People really don't know
what to say.

[romans324]

I said every chance I get because if the situation is brought up where I can build a bridge that is an opputionity.

[RockChic23]

I show it with actions not words.

[stealingheaven]

I chose subtly wherever appropriate. I'm comfortable with everyone knowing I'm a Christian but I'm aware that some people can take you the wrong way if it's mentioned out of context or just blurted out. So I can't wait to tell people at every opportunity that I feel is appropriate.

[stealingheaven]

Good post RockChic23 'I show it with actions not words.'

[lyonguard]

I am definitely not ashamed, but the Bible says to be a witness. I try to do that. If the opportunity arises then I will let people know how I believe. I will also turn down invitations because I have things to do at church and I invite them to go to church with me instead.

[MeekOne]

Ask yourself this question. Can you show the gospel of Christ to someone with your actions? Maybe if you are playing charades, but the gospel of Christ needs to be spread with words. It even says that in the scriptures. Yes, it is good to live a Christ centered life, but if you do not tell someone about how He died for their salvation, they will not know no matter what actions you take in life. You have been given a very valuable and amazing gift of eternal life, don't you want others to go to Heaven with you? How can anyone keep Christ to themselves? It is not what we are commissioned to do at all. Jesus told us to go out in the world and teach about Him and what He did for everyone. Acts 1:8 :)

[Gwen'sMom]

Depends on the moment. Since I am rather a new Christian I tread my ground carefully. I don't want people to think this is my latest fad.

[MissRebecca38]

Awesome! :thumbsup: Spoken like a true follower. :hug:

[Ritz]

very much outspoken about it,every chance I have

[onyx000]

when ever anyone asks.

[If Not For Grace]

Sometimes almost to a fault...if that's possible;)


Believe it or not it is---Professing Christianity is very much seen by the unsaved as "holier than thou" (and sometimes it's easy to see why they think that way).

Yes Witness, but attraction is better than promotion in anything. If we were all living this happy joyous and free life we profess, we would have non-belivers asking us our "secret" and not having to beg them to come to church.

[MeekOne]

every second ................ it is either as good witness or a bad one , you don't stop being a Christian when you act bad .... :D
Absolutely! If we don't spread the word, how will they hear it? :groupray:

[...butterfly...]

Every chance I get. :)

[SecretBlessings]

When it's appropriate to bring it up in a conversation

[Silentchapel]

I do only so if asked.
"Preach gospel always - if neccesary, use words." - Francis of Assisi.
If people ask, I tell them. They pretty much conclude that by my room if they're visiting.

[ItalianAngel]

If in conversation I am asked I will say I am a Christian, or if the conversation is about the subject of Christianity or religion or anything closely related, I will mention I'm a Christian. I believe most people can tell by my morals and behavior that I am a Christian. In other words, whenever I tell someone I am a Christian, its not a big surprise.;)

blessings,
~Michele:angel:

[mohawk]

Through my actions, I like to think I show it every day. I don't shy away from the subject if it comes up, but I have often seen people turn away from someone who dominates the conversation with how holy they are.

[MeekOne]

Please send up a silent prayer for God to be glorified this weekend as
we minister in our church on three opportunities to give God's Word to unbelievers. Thanks. :)

[jerek]

Every chance I can

[On_Fire_4_God_Gurl]

Not as much as i should

[krys4ever]

When appropriate

[Kirkhaven]

I'm not ashamed of the gospel, yet there are times it wouldn't be appropiate to discuss my passion with others.

[NostalgicGranny]

All the time.
