Free advice

Are you reluctant to give unsolicited advice? You have heard the modern proverbs about the value of free advice and perhaps have received some yourself that you were not looking for. You may have resented this as an unwelcome intrusion but have you not also appreciated time when someone pointed out an opportunity or danger that was unknown to you? Wouldn’t you want to do this for others as well? The best advice you can give anyone is to introduce them to me. This is the great commission I gave you, to go into all the world proclaiming the good news of the gospel to every creature. I did not tell you to do this only if they inquired of you. You are to take the initiative and in this sense you are giving unsolicited advice. Yet the gospel message you give is the only source of life and redemption for the world. Give it freely.
