✦ MADE SIMPLE
When I tell you that someone who's living wrong is headed for destruction, you better speak up and warn them. If you stay quiet and let them keep going down that path, yeah — they'll face the consequences of their choices. But I'm going to hold you responsible for not even trying to help them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God expects us to care enough about people to warn them when they're headed toward destruction.
