Our job, it seems to me, as Christians is not to convict people of their sins; that is the work of the Holy Spirit. Our job is to love them, to accept them, to embrace them, as Roland did the young man, sinners that they are, that they might know the abounding grace and forgiveness of their Lord. I am very confident, David, that if we will content ourselves with doing our part, we shall discover that the Holy Spirit will have little difficulty in doing his.

When we
love ppl we will speak the truth to them - the Holy Spirit has nothing to work
with if Christians will not proclaim God's Word.
Yes
Jesus is a stumbling stone and a rock of offense and so is the
cross.
Love
rejoices with the truth... jt
