Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristSample
Commands of Christ: 29
Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls to swine.
This is reminiscent of several verses in the book of Proverbs, including the one about not arguing with a fool. It is not good stewardship of our time, energy, or influence. This leads to the converse principle of focusing our efforts on those who are faithful. This is not only for the sake of the faithful but also for the sake of the unfaithful. Scripture clearly teaches that those who are given much have more expected of them. Hence, we are only increasing judgement on those who are not faithful when we give them truth or guidance.

About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
