Jesus cares about the people that cut us off. Don’t get me wrong. And if people don’t get simple, easy, little things they can do to make God happy, they will go to another church. But…

If my preaching little practical truths is done at the expense of the very large impractical one that nothing I can do will make God love me any more than he does through Jesus, then my preaching has left the building and gone down to the park to pee in the bushes.

“Speak the truth in love”. My problem is I do one and not the other. I once made this mistake. One time I finally spoke the truth that had convicted me for months, but saw people leave so offended they would never come back. To speak the truth in love means that I will speak the truth in such a way that the people I am speaking to know more than the truth that I am speaking, I love them. That is why the guys on the street telling everyone they are going to hell is in as much trouble of hell as the people they are preaching to. Will hell be filled with preachers? If so, I am convinced hell will be for them, a place of unending perpetual preaching, where everyone else is wrong and hell-bound, while they at the same time stand between Lava Ave. and Minion St. in downtown Hades.
