Shrewd as Serpents, Innocent as Doves


“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.”  Matthew 10:16

When we are trying to be kind, we may be taken advantage of by unscrupulous people.  They may act all nice, but their agenda is neither in our best interest nor in the best interest of the Kingdom of God. 

Jesus does not say we should ration our good deeds, but that we should be aware that some people are not what they seem.  We are to deal with these individuals, but not in a manner which violates Christian principles.
