I am learning in "Being a Contagious Christian" to be ready to share my faith at any moment - even if it might be an awkward location or time. I agree that picking the right locations with "pre-Christian" friends is important. <br /><br />I did however have my first Contagious Christian moment with a friend of mine in a sports bar - I considered this a social setting and not a night on the town to see how much we could drink and hit on the opposite sex. We were two young married men having a nice night out and the topic turned spiritual much to my suprise. We talked for a couple of hours, hugged each other at the end of the night and even prayed together. It was really amazing and I believe that it happened because we were both in a comfortable atmosphere. I even invited him to our bible study. <br /><br />I am a big fan of the social business/friendship atmosphere but not the "bar" atmosphere where the only thing to do is to get in the wrong trouble. Sometimes this is hard to make sure you are doing the right thing but I am convinced that finding appropriate social atmospheres can lead to amazing connections.<br /><br />Thanks for your posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420147369008053554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942326616359668767.post-69967730053373375232009-10-06T14:11:52.000-07:002009-10-06T14:11:52.000-07:00Mike,
Really appreciate your blog and think I'...Mike,<br />Really appreciate your blog and think I've figured out how to post. These are great subjects for discussion. I woke up one day a few years ago and realized I was only spending time in my little Christian huddle and was doing almost nothing with my "pre-Christian" friends and associates and since have become quite active in various business organizations - since I'm called to the business world - where I can build authentic bridges. Thanks for the reinforcement.<br /><br />Ralph WilliamsRalph Williams, Master Cruise Counsellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14884096459177290724noreply@blogger.com
