“Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2: 25-26 NIV (emphasis mine)
My thoughts: A kind, gentle spirit has the potential to awaken people and bring them to their senses. This is God’s way.
In His Love, Cindy

So glad to see this today, my hubby has a friend who justifies his rudeness by saying the Bible tells us to be “brutally” honest. Praying he gets this scripture before he offends more people.

Yes I agree.
To be honest I struggle with how to share the gospel in love and truth but gently. I enjoy talking about God but I want to make sure I allow the Holy Spirit to guide my words and tone.

Your love for that person will shine through. When I was teaching special education students, I never had a problem with parents because they knew I loved and wanted the best for their child. Blessings, Tiffany!
