How do you share your faith with others?
Does it differ when talking with friends? family? or strangers?
Is there anything that you won't say? What are some of the main things that you talk about when telling someone about God?

I find it difficult to share my faith, mainly because so many people have such bad opinions of what Christianity is. And so many people's ideas are so warped because they see only those who use the term to justify their sociopathic behavior.
Christ came in love as a healer, anyone who spews hate and self-righteousness is not being Christ-like at all. Yet the people who are the least Christ-like in their attitudes, words and actions are defining my faith in the eyes of others and, quite frankly, it fills me with outrage.
People who know me know that I follow God, not man. I follow the Word of God, not the words of man. And I come under attack both from within and without.

I am a sinner... "1 John 1:8"
I don't talk to many people who are unbelievers but those who I do talk to that are not of Christian faith then I talk about the works God has done and is continuing to do in my life. When I talk about God with others I share about his love and his deep interest and realness in my life. My faith in God is something I feel wholeheartedly and when I do talk with others about God I tend to get quite emotional.
I think it does kind of differ from family to friend to stranger. I think I'm more willing to share with an unbelieving stranger rather than an unbelieving family member because I worry of their response. Where as a stranger I may never see again and so I don't care either way, not saying that I don't care for that person, I just mean that I don't care about their attitude toward me or their unbelief. With family, I want so badly for them to be saved that sometimes I come on a little too strong and it upsets them. Especially my unbelieving brother Frank. But I never hide my faith to anyone. If it is brought up by myself or others I will talk about it passionately because I am passionate about God.
