Well, I think we all need to remember that some people or porcupines don’t want to change, therefore we would be wasting our time in trying to force our beliefs on them. Casting our pearls before swine comes to mind.
I was talking to my sister about evangelism. She was saying we should go out and tell people, even if they don’t want to hear. For Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the gospel.
I was more thinking of casting your pearls before swine, which is practically what we do in Western nations. What do they need God for, so they think. That’s if they even believe in God.
But there are those who have not heard, how will we reach them? And yet, our own nations need a God sent spiritual awakening, which we need to beg God for. It’s got to that stage now, so I believe.
Why on earth would we waste the beauty of God’s word on those whom God hasn’t lead us to? Jesus went to those God led Him to. He said I do nothing unless My Father does it. God leads us into conversations and situations where the Holy Spirit has basically set someone up to be reached, whether it leads to salvation now or in the future, He is in control. We will reach the nations in God’s time, in His way. He has written the script, we are His subjects fulfilling His glory.
You know, that’s one nasty picture. Glad I wan’t eating when I saw it.
But I get the POINT.

Well, enough talk. Take care.
God bless.
