 Now, I know this isn't easy to hear, but it's something that needs to be said. And I'm telling you this because I love you. Could it be that they are rejecting the gospel through your lips? Because with those same lips, you are saying things that are perverse, that are rude, that are abusive, because you gossip, because you lie, because your words are unreliable. Could it be that they're rejecting the presentation of the gospel because of the way that you live? Could it be that your hypocrisy has become a stumbling block? You tell them they need Jesus, but then you act like you don't have Him. You tell them they need to be saved, but then you act just like they act. You tell them they need to be delivered, but then they see you living in bondage. The effectiveness of your evangelism is increased as purity is increased.
