Be a Loving Friend

Many of us struggle sometimes with friendships outside the church because there's so much amazing stuff in the church that we haven't carved out the time to build friendships with those outside. We'll follow the pattern of Jesus who didn't shout from the heavens but became incarnational and came close to people who didn't know him - he lived amongst us, who befriended us. To do that you need to actually reveal yourself as a Christian. You don't want them to misapply this amazing lifestyle you have to something else in your life.
