"Being the bearer of bad news never comes easy. And often there are severe repercussions for being the messenger. We have a responsibility to counsel and point those we love to Christ regardless of their possible reaction and how hard it is. Remember that those reactions are about how their conscience makes them feel, and not about how YOU make them feel! We always need to remember that the Lord’s work, by definition, is filled with physical dangers. As Nephi taught over and over again, the wicked “taketh the truth to be hard.” They resent hearing it for it cuts them to the center of their souls. They want more than anything to shut up the person who is causing them to feel uncomfortable in their choice of wicked practices."
