✦ MADE SIMPLE
When I tell you that someone's heading toward destruction, and you don't warn them or try to get them to change their ways to save their life — yeah, they'll still face the consequences of their choices, but I'm going to hold you responsible for staying silent.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God expects us to speak up when we see people we care about heading toward harm.
