Psalm 119:45 – Speaking Before Kings

I will speak of your testimonies before Kings
and will not be ashamed.

Do you speak of your faith to other people? For many, this is a question specifically about making religious statements. Can you attempt to “bring someone to Christ?” Can you make a new disciple?

What I wonder is whether we can talk about the ways of God, the things we might study from scripture and from God’s world, before others. I’m not opposed to sharing our faith. I think we should. But right now I’m talking about something different: Sharing what we have learned outside of the context of faith and religious activity.

Can you present things you learn from God in ways that will be valued in a non-religious context?

In my Sunday School class there is a gentleman who is a master at this. I can present a spiritual idea and he’ll find and express how that applies in professional or business life. The things I will teach from scripture he can present as a part of simply doing one’s job well or helping to change the world around him.

I really appreciate this input. I also appreciate people who can express their faith without being religious about it. One might call it good advice without sanctimony.

Can you share something of value that you learned through Bible study with someone else without first trying to convince them that the Bible is the word of God?

I’d suggest that’s a valuable skill.
