You know, not as often as I should. But I realized a while back that it's easy to share my faith on Yahoo Answers!

Yes, I devote about 30 hours each month to the worldwide Bible preaching and teaching work. (Matthew 28:19,20) I strive to live by the commands as set out in the Bible to show love to my neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39) and love to my fellow believers. (John 13:34,35) I also am no part of the world (John 17:16) and therefore refuse to participate in it's political affairs or wars. (Isaiah 2:2-4) And, as a true Christian I read and study the Bible daily. (Psalm 1:1-3)

I try to share my faith every day, with anyone who is interested.
One way I do that is by computer, both in chat and here on Yahoo answers. Fun, huh? Besides, I've learned alot of things I didn't already know, and that can only be good.
:)

I am not one of the zealots who preach to others if that's what you mean.I figure I can do a better job by acting in such a way that reflects my commitment to God and the Holy Catholic Church.It seems like if you push your beliefs on a person they tend to withdraw.What good is that doing?Simply live your life as best you can and try to inspire others to follow your example.

Well, sharing your faith is important but what's more important is doing it by planting the seeds of the Word in the hearts of others.
For this reason we should be inclined to speak of God and quote his Word as often as we can.
Here is what Jesus commanded us to do:
The Great Commision
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Yeah, and Jesus also said once, Matthew 6:5-6
"When you pray, be not like the hypocrites who love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. When you pray, enter into the closet, shut the door, and pray to thy Father in secret."
Maybe Jesus didn't want everybody to go around trying to convert everybody...?

Whenever I get someone to talk I bring up the gospel. The end is near adn we need to spread the word. The world needs salvation and we are the only ones to give it.

Scripture says we're not to toot our own horn - so as to how I share I won't tell, but to answer your question - more than you can know.
