In today's Proverb, something of note is addressed. When you see others (i.e. not belonging to yourself) being led off to slaughter... "is it none of your business"? "Leave well 'nough alone"?
Be it more than 1.2 million innocent children (in the United States alone) being slaughtered inside their own mother's womb each year... be it people in "other" nations being murdered, abused, and enslaved... be it spiritually lost and blind people being led unknowingly down the path to death, hell, and destruction...
Do we say nothing? Do we risk being called "imperialists" to other nations? Do we risk being accused of trouncing on "women's rights" to choose what they do with "their own" bodies? Do we dare risk being labeled "religious extremists" or "fascists" towards those in need of a savior?
Do we just look the other way, simply because it is none of our business? But WHO said "it's none of our business"? An attorney? A political strategist? A news reporter?
What does the Creator of all mankind, the Lover and Shepherd of the souls of all people say? GO!" (Matthew 28:19)
"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
Proverbs 24:11-12 (NIV)

Any thing that goes against the commandments of all mighty God is wrong,and is the believers business.If we see abuse it needs to be dealt with. If we see a robbery needs to be dealt with. Rape, you name it. It needs to be dealt with. As believers we stand for righteousness and truth.
We stand for Love for our fellow man.The world needs asavior Jesus the Christ and we are the ones to GO.Even whispering and gossiping is wrong, to talk bout someone else? Go preach th good news heal the broken heared set those who are held in bondage free.Open prison doors. This is what we are about. The truth..

Mind Your Own Business?
Ephesians 4:16
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
I like this passage for it says to me that indeed we must do what is possible to build up, care for and protect one another. Other wise as a weak body one by one we shall surely disintegrate.
Thus my answer to the question “should we mind our own business?” should be no.
However, just as the our Father some times stood aside but kept a watchful eye on the situation before action we need to know what actions to take. So that the Glory of the Lord is properly shown with Love and not arrogance.
We all should strongly believe that ABORTION is an abomination to the Father,
We cannot physically attack such "Factories of Murder" for Christ taught us resistance with none violence: Psalm 7:16 The trouble he causes comes back on him. The terrible things he does come down on his own head. Psalm 11:5 The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others. Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 21:7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
for they refuse to do what is right.
Many years ago in my youth I used the fist to answer those thing that bothered me.
That made me even madder for too often it settled nothing but caused even more problems. Then when my dear Savior tore me down to a crying lump of clay ready for His molding Jesus taught me that non-violence gathers more positive results, so absolutely be involved speak out with reason on this matter, but with Agape Love.
As for the Evangelist matter, we must again follow the teaching of Jesus and go out and teach/evangelize: Matthew 28:20 … teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Love is a powerful teacher and if usethe teachings of Jesus we shall do so with His authority:
Luke 4:32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.
In conclusion dear Brothers and Sisters, let us educate them; they that are doing wrong in the Lords way with Love, that there is a more rewarding way of doing. But, please do not beat them with Bible verses, this turns more away than gathers; show them Love and teach them with the positive verbal terms of today, then start sharing the Word!
