Proclaim the Full Truth
God explicitly commanded Jeremiah, "diminish not a word." Commentators explain this was a call to radical faithfulness. Jeremiah was not to soften the message, omit hard parts, or change his tone to please the crowd. This is a timeless principle for anyone who teaches God's word: the goal is to faithfully deliver God's message, not to win a popularity contest or avoid conflict.
