feared
the people and
listened
to their voice more than God.
1 Samuel 15:24

IV. Straight Talk is Necessary
Proverbs 11:14- “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but
in the multitude of counselors there is
safety
.
”
Those who need straight talk are parents, teachers, counselors, and pastors.
No passivity among the worldly people.
Love the sinners as Christ loves them like you.
John 15:12

Be brave to give honest answers to every age.
Colossians 4:6
Give soft answer to those who feel angry, hurt or depressed.
Proverbs 15:1
Listen to feedback before dealing with their problems.
Pray first before giving counsel.
Share scripturally.
The most important thing is to
clean your heart
before they will
believe
your
honest answers.
