A Time To Speak, But Also A Time To Refrain.

 

Today's verse is Acts 19:30

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 

    I had also read today, that as King Saul (of whom Paul was also named) sought to gain Counsel of God, he received none. And here, Paul’s companions refused to allow Paul to speak to this unruly crowd. From these things, I must conclude that there is a time to speak, and there is a time to remain silent. Of this we must allow the Spirit of God guide us, for how shall the sinner repent if they know not the promise of the Gospel. But God is also merciful to those that would not hear, for if Paul had spoken, they would have been also responsible for what they rejected that day twice over. Selah [Compel, but don’t force.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
