A Time to Preach, A Time To Run


“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

Matthew 7:6

Jesus said this not to discount the power of the Gospel in reaching the unsaved, but as a caution that it is not always the right time or place to proclaim the Gospel.  An example of this would be if you find yourself in the middle of a riot or a heated argument which has the potential to turn violent, then it would be prudent to do your best to excuse yourself from the situation so that you can live another day to preach the Gospel.

The idea is to use wisdom at all times and to remember we represent Christ on earth.
