1Co 9:27

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Gen. 28:22- And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house:
and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

the TRUTH in LOVE

it takes a great deal of love - AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF LOVE
to tell someone they are on the wrong path....

for when you LOVE someone you sooo want them to love you, too
.....(think of your own dear child)
you foresee the danger awaiting them if they DON'T REPENT ..hell!

what if you tell them they are sinning and are going to hell?
Will your children be ANGRY and say that you are "JUDGING" them?
Will your children HATE you, because you are "no better" than they are?

But! The HEARTBREAKING, HEARTWRENCHING thought is this:

WILL THEY REPENT? or WILL THEY GO TO HELL HATING YOU ALL THE WAY?

The GOSPEL of the LORD is the POWER of GOD unto Salvation!

IF someone is going to repent - it is in response to THE GOSPEL!

SO....if we wish our loved ones (and GOD's loved ones) to be saved,
we MUST SPEAK UP! We MUST tell them the truth in LOVE.

Telling them the GOSPEL is their only hope!

Then they will at least have a choice, a chance. Otherwise, death is sure
and hell is waiting.

So, brave out into the battleground (for the enemy is awaiting your confrontation)
walk right up to the ones GOD (and you) love...and SPEAK.

SPEAK the GOSPEL, SPEAK with the HOLY SPIRIT's guidance, open your mouth wide and let GOD fill your mouth with GOOD things...and GOD give you the victory to recover them from the snare(s) of the enemy.

We who belong to JESUS. HAVE NO CHOICE.
We ARE HIS witnesses. It is who we ARE.
THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS TELL ABOUT HIM, AND WHAT HE HAS DONE
FOR US!

We just have to speak the truth with gentleness. Great Scriptures.
