Excuse the title.
In school recently there seems to be more and more conversations putting down God or Christians in general. Some of them have been said friends of mine who know I'm a Christian and it is really beginning to annoy me. Whenever they say this, all I can do is just stand there. I don't know what to say, or do, or anything. And yet, later, I think to myself "I should have explained this" or "I should have said that." But when it comes to the actual event I just feel cold, sad for the speaker, and a bit offended. But never do I think of anything to say and never do I say anything. And I hate not doing so. In the Bible, Jesus says "If you are ashamed of me, I shall be ashamed of you before my Father." I don't feel necessarily ashamed, but a a loss for what to say or how to say it. It just seems so overwhelming to defend Christ before a sea of people who don't even care if there is a God. Or how to at least plant a seed that humans don't have all the answers to everything or that God isn't stupid. Do any teens know how this feels and how to defend the Lord to their peers?
