Loving someone does not mean withholding truth from them — love requires honesty about sin

He argues that love is precisely the reason to speak truth, not to withhold it. Families intervene with addicts because they love them. A friend who enables sin is not a good friend. Winger draws a parallel to an intervention he was consulted on that day involving a cult member — the family is doing it because of love, not in spite of it. He applies the same logic to homosexuality: if you love them, you need to know whether this is right or wrong so you can either affirm or call them out of it.
