Speaking with conviction and in boldness

Most people like to hear what they like to hear. Words that are nice to their ears…I call them 'sugar-coated words'. Not sure about you, I surely don't like that. However, to be harsh and with no compassion isn't the way to go. One must be able to speak strongly, boldly with conviction, peppered with love. I so love my pastor here.

"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by Him; For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, ..." Hebrews 12:5,6
