Proverbs 24:24-26
The message on this proverb spotlights the importance of speaking the truth to those who are “wicked.” It is a massive temptation for us, as Christians, to avoid speaking truthfully to people around us practicing wicked things. If we confront people about their sin, in most cases, it will not go well. And yet the passage offers a tremendous promise to us if we are faithful in the call to rebuke the wicked. Telling someone the truth about their sin is an act of tender love. Pray for courage to speak plainly. Ask God for a heart of compassion. Don’t hold back.
