Two good old boys from my hometown were traveling to work in a pickup truck. Let’s say one was a Hatfield and the other a McCoy. They were discussing the passing of a particular Hatfield who had died the week before. As the conversation progressed, the McCoy, with tongue-in-cheek, asked the Hatfield how they could tell when a Hatfield was dead. The Hatfield quickly replied, “It’s not like a McCoy because his mouth is shut.”
Always ready to give an answer is strongly promoted by the Word of God:
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
The Irish have a quick wit that they use to their advantage. We, as Christians, should hone our knowledge of Scripture to be quick in responding to our adversaries.
Give it some thought.
