Many believers may not even know they suffer from chronic niceness. Sometimes the kind thing to do is point out misalignment; the nice thing might be to sweep it under the rug.

Thanks for reading!

It seems most of them create confusion and challenge people to either be more _ _ _ _ or less _ _ _ _. Christ compelled his listeners beyond niceness to compassion, forgiveness and other deeper rooted meaning.

Imaging if Paul’s epistles ommitted all of those admonitions to the churches he wrote to. He pours on the love and prayers followed by a good dose of, “but I have this against you…” not nice.

I doubt most maturing believers could comprehend their spirituality being exchanged because of chronic niceness. It’s the challenge of another believer that compels our own heart search.
