I talk to friends about Jesus most days. I know lots of apologetics and it’s interesting.. and humbling that one of the most powerful ones I have seen over the years with my friends is what my friends see in my life about the reality of Christ lived out. I have one friend I have been sharing the gospel with consistently for about 15 years and he is now close to becoming a Christian it seems and the things that have struck him over and over seemed to be the cost of discipleship he saw lived out in my own life. A challenge to the Lord not being someone we just know a lot about but we are actually relating with on a day to day basis and allowing him to change us and lead us in life.

I was just wondering because I frequently talk out loud to an invisible audience (although I suppose I normally have a specific person in mind). If anyone should be (more) concerned, it’s probably I.

Out loud mostly. If I try to do it internally, the thoughts often run too fast. Is it just me? Should I be concerned?

I seem to recall listening to a message online by C.J. Mahaney on this topic. I want to say it must have been early 2009 when he was guest speaking at CHBC? Ah yes, just found it: http://www.capitolhillbaptist.org/audio/2009/01/the-troubled-soul-psalm-42/.

Curious question: So when you talk to yourself, do you actually speak aloud, or is it primarily internal?

Just went to see the play version of Screwtape Letters last night. not to be confused with the music video. or the podcast. anyway, it was a good reminder of how our enemy’s favorite weapon is pride. Gets us every time. I need to re-read Screwtape. read it in college but alot of life has happened since then… and I’ll bet I’ll get a lot more out of it in hindsight. sigh.

This was very good and sovereign in God’s timing for me to read this Barry. Fits in well with some things he has been teaching me and things that I need to trust him with. Thanks for posting this B.
