Me: Busy as a bee today.

Prodigal: It is one of those days.

This is from the book The Soul Winner by C.H. Spurgeon

Now, you who witness for Christ are often bamboozled. The devil’s lawyers are sure to come to you. He has a great number of them constantly retained in his service. The one thing you have to do is to bear witness to the truth. If you inquire in your own mind, “How can I answer this man cleverly, so as to get a victory over him?” you will not be wise. A witty answer is often a very proper thing. At the same time, a gracious answer is better. Say to yourself: “It does no matter whether that man proves me to be a fool or not, for I already know that I am. I am content to be thought a fool for Christ’s sake and not to care about my reputation. I have to bear witness to what I know, and by the help of God, I will do so boldly. If the interrupter questions me about other things, I will tell him that I do not come to bear witness about other matters. I will speak to only one point, and to no other.”

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Hebrews 7:19 (KJV)
