Let&#8217;s start this off with a statement that anyone who knows me, will agree with: I like to talk. I will talk to anyone, at any time, about anything. I don&#8217;t think I talk just to hear my voice, but I feel I have something to give. I want to converse with people. I want to share in their lives, and have them share in mine. Talking is pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p>When I watched Jesus Christ Superstar the other night, I realized something. The entire musical is sung. There is no spoken dialogue\u00a0except during the crucifixion. Jesus says<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;God, forgive them &#8211; they don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing.<br \/>\nWho is my mother? Where is my mother?<br \/>\nMy God, my God, why have you forgotten me?<br \/>\nI am thirsty! I am thirsty!<br \/>\nOh God! I am thirsty!<br \/>\nI am thirsty! I am thirsty!<br \/>\nIt is finished.<br \/>\nFather, into your hands I commend my spirit.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. No talking except those few lines. Pretty powerful isn&#8217;t it.<\/p>\n<p>Today, right after church, pumped up on the Lord, I went to do some grocery shopping. I talked to the checker, who I&#8217;ve known for a while, about her day. I asked how it was going, how she was feeling, and how life was. In my soul, I wanted to say she it is a good day because you are blessed by the Lord and he has risen. I wanted to say, don&#8217;t worry, the Lord loves you. But, I didn&#8217;t. It was a good conversation but not very deep. Of course not as earth-shattering\u00a0as the only spoken lines in Jesus Christ SuperStar.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"351\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/2018\/04\/08\/april-8-to-speak-or-not-to-speak\/purposeinchrist\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"purposeinChrist\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-351\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?resize=270%2C270&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/purposeinChrist.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&#8220;Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/111\/psa.96.3\" class=\"verseLink\">Psalm 96:3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/111\/rom.1.16\" class=\"verseLink\">Romans 1:16<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;for, \u201cEveryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.\u201d How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?

If someone doesn&#8217;t want to listen or believe, then you let them go. You don&#8217;t force it. In our country, you allow people to be whom they are and whom they want to be, it doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t wish for them to believe in Christ. That all being said, why was I stopped from bringing it up today?\u00a0The person who writes faithbites\u00a0every day, the one who talks in church about it. Hmm.
