It’s self-idolatry: believing we are more loving and wiser than God, who is the source of all wisdom and is love itself (James 1:5; 1 John 4:8). We will never outstrategize Him in appealing to the unbelieving world. People are won over by Christian courage, not Christian compromise. The Word of God never returns void (Isa. 55:11); we have no such promise about our own words.
