Isang Tanong Isang Sagot

Q - How can a preacher teach without compromise and at the same time be kind to and respectful of people?
A - 
Preach, teach, counsel all you want but leave it to the people how they would apply such teachings in their private lives.
Do not control their reactions to the teaching.
Respect people's
- privacy
- personal choices and lifestyle
that do not threaten or endanger the church's public life and functions.
Allow people to live their private lives.
Do not
- police
- sleuth
- meddle
- interfere
- dictate upon
people's private lives.
It's their personal, sacred space.
What they do in private,
as long as not jeopardizing church corporate life,
is a personal matter between them and God;
it is not for corporate scrutiny and judgment.
The church is a teaching --- not a police ---force.
The preacher is a preacher --- not a policeman/woman and not a judge and executioner
