Is it hard to talk about religion with friends? or anyone for that matter? It's a difficult conversation to have with anyone because of all of our different beliefs. Right? I know that it's a conversation some will say to stay away from when talking to people. That is wrong. You should not deny the Lord if you believe in him. No one should be ashamed to talk about God and his word.
There is a chart on the beliefs of Christians. It states the main things we all Christians believe in, and then as it goes up it states the nit-picky things that are small and what differs us all from one another. When we go about talking to a person about religion we shouldn't start from the top and state the small things that make us different; therefore, if we do we will start an argument or a disagreement between the two. We should not judge one self if they have a different belief or view on a story or situation. Accept them, and move on. Do you know your belief is the correct one? None of us know that. We do not know; therefore, we should not put down a single person in the process.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
Christians believe in Jesus Christ, and we believe in the Lord our God as our Father. Don't we all? Yes. The small things is what separates us, and we should think of the big picture and not criticize one another for doing things in different ways. If we criticize or think of someone differently because they aren't like "us" then we are not being loving towards one another we are judging one another and God does not want us to judge or be hateful towards one another.
The Lord our God knows the right way, and we all should not act as if we know the correct way of everything. For we do not know everything. We are not perfect, and we never will be. We should act as Christians, and we should not deny our God in front of everyone. We should speak proudly and be willing to talk about God's word. Spread his good word, and never be ashamed of his ways.
If you deny Jesus Christ, he will deny you in front of his Father.
Keep your faith strong, and never.... be ashamed to speak of God.
Try to better yourself as a Christian, and become a better person each and every day.
There is always room for improvement.
Think of it that way.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.
