“Well Said”

What should I do when people don't listen?

Sincerely,
Frustrated

Dear Frustrated,

When people won’t listen there are two options – stop talking or change your tactic.  Before giving up on someone, ask yourself the question, “Are my words seasoned with grace?”  God tells us that what we say must always be thoughtfully chosen (Col 4:6).  Having said that, sometimes people have simply hardened their hearts to God’s Word, and Jesus says in such cases to “not throw your pearl’s before swine” (Matt 7:6).
