[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not saying we should pad the truth. The truth itself is clear and powerful, but you are not meeting a person first and foremost with love. You want them to repent because that is what is best for them, but your message is to strike immediately from the point of condemnation.

Obviously we have different approaches.[/quote]

And both approaches work.  It is the Holy Spirit, not us, that presses upon one's heart to repent.   God uses both the abrasive, salty blunt-force Gospel truth tellers to 
bring his beloved children of mankind unto himself, and he uses the soft, gentle words spoken from a wise and knowing woman to bring others.

Jesus said we are to be salt.  Salt stings, it burns, it is unpleasant when rubbed into a wound.  Being too soft and accomodating to sin risks one's salt not being salty.

And I agree, it must be done in love.  Tough love is needed sometimes whereas with others just a gentle nudge with loving kindness is all that is needed for the
Holy Spirit to draw the sinner unto Christ.
