From committing the action ourselves, yes. I'd suggest reading this sermon. It's awfully hard to be a witness for Christ if we do not live among - and maintain relationship with - pre Christians.

If we're to follow Christ, then we are to live among and relate to the unsaved, not hole up and shut ourselves off from society. Live by example, and do not condemn those around us. Tell them what we believe, fine, but do not condemn.

Jesus did not condemn the woman at the well, but told her to go and sin no more. Compassion and kindness - that is how we should witness.

There’s a line between compassion for those trapped by sin and endorsement of the sin, and Jenna skated right on by it.
