False Humility and False Love

This is just too good not to share. In a few short sentences, it encapsulates why we as Christians need to plant seeds in the lives of those around us, water seeds that others have planted, and let the Holy Spirit work in the lives of the people that cross our path. We aren't responsible for the results because of their free choice but we are responsible for being a messenger.

"When men's eternal souls are at stake, the church cannot be passive and indifferent. Nor can it hide behind false humility that fears being judgmental or behind false love that fears offending. Christ was supremely humble, yet He never called evil anything but what it was. Christ was supremely loving, yet He never withheld a warning that might save His hearers from hell. And He had nothing but intense anger for those who by their false teachings led men away from God and directly toward hell."
