To call out sin for what it is, as in the case of delivering a sermon—that should be done. That is necessary and definitely needed. But what we are discussing are one-on-one interactions in the outside world. If we are trying to get or make non-believers to act like Christians we are going to find ourselves in real trouble. And this may be more of a temptation for those who are recent coverts, as, for the speaker, it definitely was in the year or two after becoming saved. There was that temptation to tell people what was known was written in the Bible, and to try to correct them in order to get them to believe. That was the approach that was often taken in telling others about God. Yet, Paul says that our speech is to always be gracious, to be seasoned with salt. If we are in the habit of telling people how they are wrong, this verse from Paul is will be found to be pretty hard to keep. People probably aren’t even going to want to be around us all that much. So, we need to be careful.
