Hos 5:15 “I will go and return to my place, till
they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will
seek me early.”
The perceived offence that occurs in one’s life by the
reveling of their opposition towards God’s truth is not intolerance or self-righteousness.
It’s not the individual that’s the offence it’s the cross that’s offensive to
them (Gal 5:11). The scriptures tell us the truth will be a stumbling-block to a
wayward heart and true self-righteousness, but it’s not to be shameful to those
who believe (Rom 9:33). Don’t apologize for the truth or make the Gospel
appeasing. If the truth offends, then let it offend in love. If one has been
living their life in offense to God and truth; let them be offended for a while.
In their acknowledgement, God will act on their behalf.
Offend no one, but don’t apologize for the truth and if the
truth offends, so be it… HSAY
