[Quix]

Have chewed a lot on the enabling aspect . . . as well as . . . what might God say to me about missing a chance to challenge their slide to hell more forcefully.

Those reasons have resulted in me being tons more fiesty than my first 30 years of life as more of a passive wimp about some things.

Don’t want anyone’s blood unnecessarily on my hands.

Ezekiel 33:7-8 (NIV) "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

This is the same verse my Pastor is using in his continuing 5 year battle with the weeds in my church. His only fear is not doing God's will.
