I don't usually just copy and paste from another person's blog and put it on my own but this was good. I got this from Pastor Mark's blog about Politically Correct vs. Biblically Correct.
"For what it's worth...whenever I have to have a tough conversation with someone where I have to confront an issue, I almost always reference John 1:14 where it says Jesus was full of grace and truth.
Grace means I'll love you no matter what. Truth means I'll be honest no matter what. Grace without truth is weak and shallow! Truth without grace is counter-productive. But grace and truth is a Christlike combo that will impact people!"
Like I said I don't usually do something like this but if I had been in a service where he had said this out loud I would have said, "Oh, that's good." And something we need to remember. A lot of us avoid confrontation at all cost. Others of us come on too strong. It's hard to find a "happy medium" for such an uncomfortable situation. But it seems like this would be as good as you can get.
