Why do we get nervous when we talk to people about spiritual things? Is it because we are thinking more about what people might think or what God might think?
This question really challenged me. We spend so much time trying to make everything "relevant." We spend so much time trying not to "offend" those who don't believe the same way we do. We overthink every word, every thought. For what? So that we might be less offensive to a "seeker?" We want to protect a "potential believer" from the truth of God, because they might not be ready to hear the truth?

What about people who already follow Christ? We talk about accountability. We say we believe in God, but act like we don't. We protect our little kingdom at all cost, pushing aside the Kingdom of God - all that really matters.
As Christ followers we have the responsible to speak truth into the lives of those around us. Not in an arrogant, condescending way. But in love. We mustn't waste opportunities to help each other grow.
Why do we get nervous when we talk to people about spiritual things?
It's time we set aside out own agendas and fears. It's time to stand up and live what we say we believe.
