Re: Christian Duty to Speak Up

"For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them,' Thus says the Lord GOD.' "As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse- for they are a rebellious house- yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. "You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. (Ezek 2:4-7)

"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. (Matt 7:6)

Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. (2Tim 2:7)

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; (1Peter 3;15)

"But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. (Mark 13:11)
