Speaking the Truth in Love

Brad Dufault continues his Ephesians 4 series by examining verses 14-15, which describe the maturity that results when leaders equip and members serve—a community marked by both truth and love. He explores how Paul links these two elements together (echoing Philippians 1:9) and warns againstmaturity lacking either component. Dufault illustrates four approaches to addressing someone drifting from community: neither truth nor love (doing nothing), truth without love (harsh correction without listening), love without truth (empathy without challenge), and the biblical approach of speaking truth in love—meeting people where they are while helping them see how life could be better.
