Matthew 10:14. If someone isn't ready to hear, just dust off your feet and move on. Some people get a kick out of riling up people who have different beliefs than they do. Don't give them the satisfaction of upsetting you. It is fun for them to make you angry. Depriving them of that is the best way to make it stop.
100% agree. These people are right in their own eyes and no bidding by human efforts would change them. The only thing which will change some people like that is revelation of the holy spirit. If they choose to change at all, that is. I have relatives who I've been praying for years to come to Christ and they still fiercely refuse. It burdens my heart as well but the best I can do is pray, treat people with dignity and remember the battle is not won in our own strength.
It also says in Mathew 7:6
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces"
In this case our pearls are time.
Thank you for saying it well. It's hard for me to remember that when my heart breaks that people reject the gospel, but it's just unfortunately a fact of life. Stay strong!
