       No, we are to shine our lights well, so that when we do explain Christian ways, again, making the best use of our time—for that is how we do that—that folks actually benefit from being in our presence. Each of us has a presence before others, a way that we are before others. We want that presence to be truly admirable. This leads us to make the best use of our time before others. If we are a person that others admire, a person of which they wish to be around, then when we are around them we will be able to tell them why we are the way that we are. They will want what we have. When they see our peace, our lack of worry; when they see our good work ethic, when they see our kindness, when they witness our speech as encouraging, they will ask questions. And because we have walked in wisdom, because we have acted like a proper Christian, we will be able to tell them why we are peaceful, kind, and all the rest. We will be able to make the best use of the time because we have set ourselves up for the moment.
