Great quote by Mart De Haan over at Radio Bible Class:

Walking in the truth . . . requires not only the active engagement of our minds but also the warm embrace of our hearts.

If we don’t keep both in view, a generous heart can make error look like truth, just as arrogance can make truth look like error. Who can measure the confusion that occurs when truth is spoken with condemnation and self-righteousness, while lies are told with patience and love?

Truth spoken without love is devastatingly harmful. Love expressed without truth is tragically misleading.

That’s why Jesus is described as being “full of truth and grace,” and Paul reminded us to “speak the truth in love.”
