1 John 2:12-17

Many times, when we see someone making poor choices or walking down the wrong path, we hesitate to say anything. We worry that we'll come across as harsh or judgmental. But before we speak, we should examine our hearts and ask ourselves: Am I speaking from pride, or from genuine love and concern for them? Today, Pastor Mark reminds you that lovingly speaking the truth is not the same as condemning someone. Real love doesn't enable destructive behavior; it points people toward Jesus and the truth of God's Word. When correction comes from the heart, it isn't self-righteous judgment… It’s biblical discernment spoken in love.
