“Because John had said to Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.’” — Mark 6:18
The cost of this one statement: was the head of John the Baptist.
He spoke the truth.
He called out sin.
He stood for righteousness, Even when it meant death.
As believers, we’re not just called to preach blessings!
We’re called to preach repentance and the Gospel!
Telling people the truth is part of love. And yes, truth offends.
It offends because it confronts sin.
It offends because it calls people to change.
But truth also sets people free.
Sugar-coated words might feel good…
But their end is destruction.
Lies imprison you.
But truth breaks chains of sin, shame, and bondage.
Do not fear speaking truth!
We weren’t called to be “nice.”
We’re called to turn hearts back to Jesus.
