Consider Nathan
Consider how Nathan the Prophet approached King David after he sinned with Bathsheba. He said that the king had despised the Commandment of the Lord, that he had done evil in the sight of God. He said that he had committed murder and adultery, and then the preacher boldly pronounced stinging judgment upon the king. But look at the wonderful result of Nathan's faithfulness to God: "David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord.'”(2 Samuel 12:13) If we preach a message that doesn't cut deep into the sinner's conscience, we may fill our churches, but they will be filled with people who don't see that they have sinned against the Lord, and if there's no repentance, there is no salvation. So, don't hold back. Make sure you faithfully preach the truth in love, and do it today. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
