my point behind my post is this.. recently.. i have gone out seeking those who strongly disagree with my beliefs.. athiests, calvanists, ect. and my exuse was that " it makes me dig deeper into the word and re-afirms my faith in Christ" which it did.. but eventually i get so carried away in the conversation it moves from more of a convo to a full blown arguement. . and i cannot go out trying to spread God's Word by argueing agrily with ppl.. so i had to stop that..

i dont mind friendly debates and convo's.. you just have to be able to not get defensive and simply state what you believe and defend it.. without getting mad...<== wich is a problem im praying about. for myself.

I believe we need to wait and be ready when the opportunities present themselves. God will pave the way if you let Him. Live a godly life and be ready to testify for why you believe.

When you go out looking for people to speak with you will find that about 95% of the people like to live in ignorance and they are happy there. When we try to open the door instead of waiting on the spirit to move within their hearts we are possibly making it harder for the spirit to move in their hearts because we don't know how to speak to that person without the Spirit. I know every time I get eager and start to walk forward without the spirit leading me I stumble and I usually end up making myself look very un-christ like. As apposed to letting the spirit move first and soften their hearts which is similar to opening the door of their heart so that you may have the opportunity to speak to them.

I know I don't speak to many people about my faith IRL because I don't do anything outside of work and home. I have been buying my kids bikes so that we can get out of the house and do something productive outside with the real world. I hope this will open opportunities for fellowship. We will see.
