If there are other gracious answers we can be giving and we won’t — then it’s our problem again.

Hi. I was hesitant to respond as it seemed possible that what I’d come up with might be taken as curt or cutesy, but here goes.

It is our job to provide a faithful witness to His word. God provides the Grace. That’s the devision of responsibility.

There can all too easily come a point at which our trying to be gracious to the feelings of the lost works counter to the urgency of the Gospel and this is really what those demanding sensitivity to their sin are seeking, even if they do not intellectually realize it, as people don’t like being made to feel bad as if they did bad things. It’s that very bad news that goes all the way back to Genesis against which the Gospel is good news. But we cannot be a faithful witness if we pull our punches on that ... so it’s probably better to not even go down that road.
