In Season and Out of Season

ALMOST everybody is ready to work "in season"—as they look at seasonableness. Even Felix would have turned to the Lord at Paul's preaching—if he had found "a convenient season." There are Christians who rarely press the subject of personal religion on members of their own families, or on their friends and acquaintances, because it always seems to them that just then that subject would be "out of season." They would be talking about Christ and his salvation continually—or so they think—if only it were seasonable to do so. Paul understood this difficulty. His counsel to us is, therefore, that we do the Lord's work at one time or another. If we can't do it "in season," we had better do it out of season. Anyway, let us do it.—Selected.
