In the end, we love people into belief. We do not argue them into belief.

Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace.

Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.

Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.

Love is primarily giving. It’s an action that leads to a feeling, not a feeling first.

Truth is more important, freedom is more complex, and Jesus is more liberating than you think.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.
