Jesus said, "do not cast your pearls before swine!" But the pigs in reference are seemingly everywhere. Self righteous pharisees who trample on others to glorify themselves can be found in many "religious" circles. We need to protect our precious ones, our "pearls", from the pain that comes in the presence of such pigs. The pigs lash out there judgement, pointing out shortcomings of others in pursuit of self promotion. They trample on hurting others. They run over our children with there Pharisaical pride. I say THUMP A PIG!
When Jesus said, "don't cast your pearls before swine," do you think it implies we could cast the swine before a bus..? a train..? a firing squad? If you're like me and want to THUMP a pig, then love on the unloving. Encourage the hurting with words of grace and love. Let every sinner know that they are loved and not judged, lifted up and not trampled on, embraced not evicted. We need to love one another, that is what Jesus did to the woman at His feet, the woman at the well, Simon the tax collector, Saul the persecutor, John the CreighZ pig disliker and You! He loves you and me right where we are. So love one another and in so doing... THUMP A PIG!
