Not only will believer offend the non-believer they will also offend many pretenders in the church. The pew warmers who love their religion and self righteousness but have no interest in seeking or pleasing Christ.
Ron Smith said this:
The most GRIEVING thing I can think of is someone I KNOW...someone I CARE about...DYING in their SINS without ever having been CONFRONTED by ME with the TRUTH regarding ISSUES of SIN and SALVATION.
So...tell me Church:
If the CHURCH will not address these issues...then who WILL?
Satan will NOT evangelize the world FOR us!
Satan will NOT tell the lost they are SINNERS in need of SALVATION!
"Christian"...or those of you who CLAIM you are:
Listen up!
If you do not want to risk OFFENDING the lost...then you do not LOVE the lost.
As I wrote here long ago:
I would rather OFFEND the world with TRUTH than CONDEMN the world through SILENCE.
EZEKIEL'S calling is OUR calling:
Ezekiel 3:17-21 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
