Dying Dog

There is a temporary disadvantage for the Christian in that he or she is confined to having to always speak the truth. In a sense, we have to fight with one hand tied behind our backs. However, there are no holes barred for those that don’t fear God. Their weapons of warfare are lies, exaggerations, statements made out of context, hearsay, rabbit trails, misquotes, and false accusations. The unsaved fight against the claims of the Gospel because they love their sin and distain God's righteousness. They are a like a dying dog stuck in an ice cold river, who viciously snaps at his rescuer. Let them bite . . . we will still reach out while there is hope.
