walk away?

Do you feel compelled to rise to every challenge to the gospel? You are called to have an answer for every man about the hope you have in me. Yet this does include all encounters. You will face attacks from hostile and belligerent critics whose interest is in attacking rather than seeking truth. You are not obligated to engage with them, for in so doing you are reduced to their level. Even I, as the Living Word, on occasions refused to answer my critics, and even when I was on trial for my life. I promised to give you the words you need in every situation. Sometimes the way to follow my lead is to walk away.
