Don't Give To Dogs What Is Holy - Tim Conway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- The Bible often describes evil people as animals, such as pigs, dogs, snakes, worms, lions, bulls. In this particular portion of scripture, we are warned about those who are spiritually dogs and pigs. How are we to deal with these types of people? We are not to set before them the precious things of God, namely, the Gospel. There is a place not to give some people the Gospel truths as all they will do is trample on it.

Such hard words to preach. Equally hard message to grasp but it's so important.
👌🏾 indeed
Great sermon, thank you. I lived in the pig pen for almost 40 years. The few times I was exposed to the gospel, I simply did not understand it because my pride and rebellion was too big. I had to fast ten times (once 21 days) in order to humble myself to get to the point of seeking the Gospel. Praise God, I finally was able to hear the tremendous Pearls of Truth!
Please share more of this story. Why were you fasting?
@@Superman111181 i share a lot on my UA-cam channel but need to make more videos to explain. I fasted because I knew it was a spiritual path but did not know what I would find as I was still held the New Age belief of some kind of yogic expansion or ascension. Now I see that is all man made Pride talk(aka Satan who is the antiChrist, anti truth). The only truth can be through salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything else is corruption or distortion of absolute truth which is only possible through Jesus (Iesu). One must realize this is a fallen world. I had to also realize that the earth is flat. Then all of the other man made lies were exposed.
My goodness I'm broken - Every time man tries to make the Gospel more palatable, more joyful, more anything we think it needs, we DIMINISH IT. That is what we do in our own wisdom. When we trust God's plan and God's Word, the Gospel is beautiful and glorious and worth giving up everything for. We cannot pursue men in our wisdom, we must pursue God and His wisdom, and he will show us who to pursue, we will then "keep in step with the Spirit" which me and most Christians I know struggle so much to do.
I have been wondering about this the last few days and this felt like an answer from God🙏 thank you! God bless 🙌 🙏
God is Good!!!
Wow amazing same here. Been seeking in the Word And this just popped up. Praise God!
Amen. This can be a difficult decision when it comes to dusting my feet off of someone that clings to the truth of Jesus in their head, but does not follow him with their heart. 😔💔
I remember witnessing to a neighbor who had just survived a heart attack and was in recovery at the hospital. This man was well known for his life of fornication and womanizing. I remember looking right in his eyes when he responded to the gospel rejecting God's salvation. He smiled and said he was in total peace knowing when he dies he will be gone and there is no afterlife. So he was happy he got to live it up with the drugs and the sex while he could. I remember a distinct chill of terror come over me for this man that he had crossed that line and had been seared as with a hot iron and his will was sealed.
he had the chance 😔
The dogs and pigs can be differentiated by their character. Best example are those who try to take advantage of your love and hospitality. Also, those who reject the Gospel. Those who don't want to hear it or have anything to do with it.
Some dogs and pigs are unidentified until you give what is holy and you cast the pearls
Roman's 13kjv
this was for me today Amen I will stop preaching to people who clearly show they don’t want to hear it. Cast not my pearls before swine. 🙏
I needed to hear this. Thank you for posting this sermon, I’ve never heard this topic preached on before and it was edifying.

49:38 does this mean that the poorest christian in heaven will be richer than the richest man on earth? is that a fair assessment of wealth in eternity?
Infinitely richer! Those who gain the world yet lose their soul have nothing. Those who gain Christ gain everything.
I have Peter Fjellstetht's Bible explanation, and now there is the NT of PF explanation in English in a new printing in English, PF was from the middle of the 18th century. I have heard more and more to my amazement that Tim conway has EXACTLY the same interpretation on things as PF. His lexicon has explanations after the verses and talks about the meaning. PF helped me out of many group struggles after I left the charismatic movement. So it's a joy to hear Tim Conway.
Geez, now after watching this, all I see is dogs, pigs and worms. Amazing.
I'm on a Tim binge. Love this guy!!
Pearls begin with a grain of sand and is an irritant to the mollusk. It creates a secretion that covers the grain and builds layer upon layer around that irritant and it becomes a pearl. I wonder if we, before we are saved are like that grain of sand and God teaches us layer by layer to become a pearl for Him.
Amen Amen I wouldn't put it past God. God thought of everything 😂💚🤝
Thank you for the message.
Great message ❤
Thank you for this message. This is very helpful, wonderful teaching 👏
Great teaching, thank you.
This gave me so much rest. Bless you brother.
Thanks brother Tim.
Maranatha, Amen. ✝️📜
Maannn what a sobering message...
This was spot on!! Wonderful sermon full of TRUTH! Glory be to GOD! Thank you for the share
Man, I shed a few tears listening to this sermon.
I had an experience recently where I had sensed that the person that I was attempting to communicate the gospel to had a hardened heart.
Exactly these verses came to my mind as it dawned on me that perhaps I wasn't supposed to be wasting my time trying to convince the man of the error of his ways.
I have experienced situations where discussing God, Jesus, and sin seemed to go quite well and the other person seemed to be receptive and understand it. I have experienced situations, though, where it seemed quite hopeless and, as mentioned, it felt like maybe I was wasting my time. I had been, in those moments, surprised realizing that it could be a waste of time to tell someone about the most important thing in life.
I had read and knew of those verses and they came to mind. I didn't understand those verses when I first read them, but, solemnly, now, I think I understand the meaning. Even up to the part where the animal would turn on you and attack you directly instead of addressing the Word that you're desperately trying to convey to him or her. Yeah, an eye-opening experience for me.
My brother if people don't listen then stop talking. Also remember that we are tasked with loving people and planting seeds. Only God makes it grow. Trust God and trust that his word won't return void. Its not your job to convince the world to repent. Share the Gospel but more importantly live it, when you live your faith you are the light of the world. A picture is worth a thousand words. God bless you.
@@BruceThePugDog Thanks. Indeed.
@@hwilliampolenz6713 i feel you, but have been led to say, "I used to openly, and outright mock people who would talk about God to or around me. I was (intellectually) hostile towards the subject and our Creator. Do not lose heart and do not give up, because even the most stubborn ass can be subdued."
Of course, it was God who kept digging into me, to drive the planted seeds into fertile soil. But regardless, how would I have heard without a preacher?
@@darnellpistachio2991 Thank you for sharing. I will keep it in mind!
Brother, first off praise our Lord Jesus that He has raised you up with a heart for the condemned. We are absolutely called to be workers in the fields, proclaiming the gospel that souls may repent and believe in Jesus!
Just wanted encourage you that your work in speaking to the errors of the way of that man is actually biblical and in the long-run, loving and obedient to our God. Though we are under grace and not law (therefore we are saved through faith alone in Christ alone, through grace alone), I do believe this same biblical principle applies today for the great commission.
Ezekiel 33:7-9
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.”
I hope this encourages you, and keep doing what you’re doing by the grace of God and through His Spirit! Bless you brother.
Yes for his grace Amen
Thanks for the message, cheers from oregon 👍
Great I bought that book and needed to hear this ..Tim Conway is great preacher
Awesome message * * * * *
such a missing piece to our integrity, praise god for this message, i needed this so much
Just watched Tim's last message on not throwing your pearls before swine and this shows up :)
Thank you for a clear teaching on this topic, which a lot of preachers didn't. 🙏💐
WHOOA!! So good. So good!!
Wow!.. That was powerful!.. praise God!..
This message is a good in depth teaching of MATTHEW 10:37 & LUKE 14:26.
Bless you brother for this message. The Lord put this in my heart sometime ago. And I stopped. Jesus is everything and most valuable. Nobody (the closest loved one), can never be greater than my Lord.
O My I am moved by this teaching and it opened my eyes to the precious gift Pearls of the gospel. I really needed this right at this time. I recently lost my sister 78 unexpectedly and it gave me an opportunity to share the gospel of Christ with family members in great need. My sister and I got ourselves to church and then much later I got saved. God drew me and by myself not in church but reading the Bible with a hunger and thirst for righteousness. None of her children are saved and one of mine is not. I have come to a place with hers that has left me feeling like it must be my approach is off but I believe this message cleared it up for me. I will try one more thing and if that gets rebuffed I think I must shake the dust from my feet. Now my own daughter laughed and said that's not going to happen so that is a clear rejection and I am aware of other factors but I had to try. I will continue to pray for perishing souls and it may not be my messaging that helps but GOD saves. I just pray for fertile soil and the the message not wither on the rocky soil but it is GOD's hands and He alone knows who may Repent and fall on their knees begging for salvation. Thanks Tim your directness and unapologetic truth is so refreshing and clear GOD Bless you Brother. I am weary of these multiple choice preachers giving you options of what to believe so they don't offend anyone....I left organized church at 70 just couldn't take the wishy washy lukewarm Christianity any more!
I have that book on evangelism and I need to read it.
I wish a lot of Christians would actually listen to this.
Preach pastor!!!
Yes. Nowadays there's lack of discernment everywhere. So much in denial and don't want to hear the truth. All they say is yeah yeah as if they're not interested in the truth 🙄.
Ouch and Amen! 🙏🏽💯
JESUS IS THE WINNER MAN! Winnerman ALL the TIME!
So FOR REAL about that
I have been witnessing to my brothers 2-4 times a week for 1.5 years. 😥
Couple of things he said I didn't agree with but all in all a good teaching I believe.
Pray God gives me repentance and faith
Calling a person or group an animal is a derision. It is a comparison between what human behavior is and what is animal behavior.
43:14 that was my mistake, and I wondered why it never worked.
In regard to judgement Christians are taught not to harshly judge our brothers in Christ, but rather to restore, in mercy and forgiveness, one that falls into sin (Gal 6:1), which is the message in 1 Cor 5:1 with the man who has his father's wife. To be sure you are not living in sin and guilty of the same behaviors so that you may be a witness that such sins can be overcome in Christ. Which is the message in Matt. 7:4. God separates us, believers (brothers, family), from pagans and non-believers (Rom 2:1-5, 1 Cor 6:3)
We are not taught not to judge the Godless world, pagans, or unrepentant sinners who are not our family and remain under the wrath of God, the very fact that we cling to truth and do not do as they do is us judging them, that their ways are evil. Quite the contrary, we are commanded to discern and judge what is of God and what is not (John 7:24, 1 Cor 6:3), to reject the one and learn to live and to teach all who are willing (and many are not), to live the other.
Every unregenerate person is a dog, a pig and a snake. This is what alarm my soul.
I came to Christ from homosexual life and my life is now different. Nevertheless, those religious sanctimonious type, still discriminating me although I do not practice that sin anymore. Who are the pugs, dogs and snakes? The ones that has not the Holy Spirit in their hearts. False Christians.
Per minute 37:00
"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" Acts 10:34 KJV
"For there is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:11 KJV
"But if YE have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." James 2:9 KJV
Love as God loves; hate what God hates. Walk as Jesus walked, and remember whose you are.
Dealing with self righteous people is like dealing with dogs and pigs.
45:33 i should just pray for my family then
Maybe that which is holy should decide for itself who to give itself to. See what I did there?
Thank you Mr Conway!
Monkey trap!
That is sin in a nutshell..
Roman's 13kjv Comparing to the other translations
And the truth shall set you free
what the...I just read this in bible study
One of my social buddies an example of not giving a dog
Don't cheapen the gospel brethren. Remember less is more. May the Holy Spirit give you the spirit of discernment.
We are surrounded by dogs and demons in this world
I'm just confirming to myself....... There IS a time to be DONE with some people.
What does it mean if some one used to act like a dog? And now they don’t. Is being a dog or pig and eternal thing? What if one day you talk to someone and they reject it completely then the next they come asking questions that seems like they’re seeking?
I’m wondering the same thing for my slef
Is there help for me!?? Please answers ! I can’t for some reason change my feelings towards the gospel. I don’t feel very moved by it. I’m upset about it but I don’t know what to do. I have been praying and trying to get it right with the lord for 2 months now but nothings happening.
I worry about apostatizing back when I was 14 when I said I’m no longer a Christian to a friend has anything to do with all this????? I’m 21 now

Apostates and prodigals can be saved, call on Jesus with unrelenting fervour and importunity until your perseverance is rewarded.
Truth here thanks. I nevertheless wonder if that's mean that I should stop praying for my parents and loved ones that have clearly been dogs in front of me and my preaching. I know that keep preaching is surely not the thing to do, but something in me lead me to think that in this situation there is still hope by praying for them and that this is actually the only thing I can do. And I'm ready to importune God with that, but in the same time I don't want to loose my time for them if in reality God is "done" with them.
I tend to think that this passage does not concern praying but the question raised up anyway: if God don't want us to bring them his Gospel anymore, why would he want us to continue to do anything for their salvation?
O Lord need your wisdom.. show me it please.
I hope prayer is still aloud, because I need it. I may have been a pig in my own way and have not realized the preciousness of the Gospel because I believed I can receive Christ when ever I please. I was so wrong. I Hope God has not abandoned me
@@StevenSeagul783 God never abandons brother. It's us that abandon him. I've turned my back a handful of times , and he always calls me back. We just have to be very careful because if we start to regularly and willfully sin without repentance then he WILL cut us off. But that's our choice, if we show we are repentent and truly want to change then he will never forsake us brother❤️God bless
Jesus is Lord
That's why jesus spoke in parables!
Pigs are clean and are as smart as a three year old and incredibly loving. Dogs are just as loving and gorgeous. God created these gorgeous animals! I have nothing bad to say about them! ❤️ 🐷 🐶❤️
Animals have no sin, and the domesticated ones, whose predatory instincts have been bred out, are often nicer than people.
@@sweetlittleemogirl44 exactly! Animals are precious to God. He created them before us and Jesus will be coming back on a white horse. 🐎🙏💐
Maive here ui the usa. But if you go to my country you'll see that they are not as lovely and friendly as you think.
@Darkness God said in Leviticus when you victimize a person sexually, they are as innocent as if you rose up against them and killed them. The guilt is with the perpretrator not the victim. No snimal devises such plans in their head. It is against nature.
@Darkness Thats exactly what they are doing. Worshipping animals. False idols before them and they don't care what the bible says.
