buddboy I assume you mean sharing ones faith in hopes of having another accept that faith. Because we are to love our neighbor we should be concerned about his eternal state. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Therefore if the person's faith isn't in Christ his eternity is lost. Sharing on the job opens a problem. We were hired to work not to share the gospel. However I see no problem with sharing the gospel on break or during lunch. That is unless the person your sharing with has asked you to stop. If your doing it in a way that others can hear and they have asked you to stop you should respect their wishes and you and the person you sharing with should move to an area that others won't have to hear you. Remember were not to make ourselves odorous to others by trying to force the gospel down their throats. EdB |

I have found in my world here at the office that people figure out from my manner of speech and the ocassional reference to going to church on weekends or Wed night that I'm a christian. That helps but I do enjoy the ocassional person here at the office who comes to me with a Biblical topic for questions and/or discussion. So once again, I would have to say moderation is the key to successful christian living, that and maintaining balance. Another very important factor in sharing Christ with this world is to maintain a truly open mind and an open heart. If people get the idea you're closed minded, it's a big turn-off. However, don't misunderstand me, when the Bible is plain and clear we do need to speak up and "take sides" with God's Word but we MUST do so with love, as God intended. Remember, "all it takes for evil to succeed is for good, moral people to remain silent." God bless. |

Rowdy I agree but let me add. What if when a friend comes with a question or discussion you said hey I would love to discuss that with you but I want to do my work as unto the Lord and I don’t want to give Christians a bad reputation of always talking about Jesus instead of working. So how about we talk about that at lunch on break or even better come on over to my house for dinner and we can discuss it then. Do you think that would give you more notice and open still other doors. I think it would When we are hired we enter into contact whether written or not, that we promise to do x hours work for x hours pay. If we short our hours because we were sharing Jesus we have in effect cheated or broken that contract. As Christians we should be known as the most productive, most reliable, best employee. Your right people soon know who are Christians because we are peculiar people. We should stand out in a crowd not because we are always proclaiming Jesus but by the way we live, work, and talk. EdB |
