When we discreetly point out sin, people oppose you. It’s a natural reaction. The entire point about “calling people out”, is to see what the condition of the heart is. How you react to this “calling out”, tells you where your loyalties reside. They are either with God, or for yourself, there’s only two choices. The entire purpose of exposing sinful behavior is to prick the conscience into doing its job, turning us away from sin, and back to God. Remember, we must do this with gentleness and respect. If we truly love people, we will care enough about them to speak the truth. God will work out the details.
14 Your prophets have said so many foolish things, false to the core. They did not save you from exile by pointing out your sins. Instead, they painted false pictures, filling you with false hope.
Lamentations 2:14
