Todays question has been left purposefully vague.
Why would I want to talk to anyone about God? you might ask
What would the purpose of this talk be?
I raise the question because we talk about all sorts of things to all sorts of people but sometimes we leave important things unsaid so often. We'll talk about the weather, the win, the loss of our team but do we talk about ultimate issues with those we come in contact with?
When talking about God sometimes we might feel ill equipped or what happens if they ask a question I don't know the answer to ... or whatever else.
The above is presuming that we have have a message to communicate.
But what if we're the one with the questions, the doubts etc etc
Why not think about what we might be wanting communicate - what we might want to share with someone else.
I believe there is a need today to be more open about God Talk - us talking about God - about our beliefs, our struggles, our grapplings - There's a word for that Theo-logy
This could be pastoral, it could be evangelism (the sharing of the good news), it could be in debate, it could be preaching, it could be simply sharing our story, it could be us wanting to grow in faith, it could be all sorts of other possibilities.
Who do I need to talk to about God today?
