Interpretation
This quote questions the importance of sharing a message multiple times with those already informed when many are still uninformed.
Oswald J. Smith highlights the urgency and responsibility of spreading important messages, such as the Gospel, to those who have yet to hear them. The quote suggests that we should prioritize reaching those who are unaware over reiterating in front of those already knowledgeable, emphasizing the need for action and outreach in the pursuit of sharing valuable teachings.
In practice
