We are called to stand for truth regardless of the cost, but we must always walk humbly and in love. In the past we have spoken truth but without love. As a result, we have been perceived as judgmental. Now some believers refuse to address the issues at all lest they be perceived as intolerant. Both extremes miss the mark. Truth without love is harsh and judgmental, even as love without truth is permissive. But when we speak the truth in love, it is transformational.
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
— 1 Peter 4:8
Lord Jesus, help us to speak the truth without being harsh and to show love without being permissive. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
