The softer the Church gets, the more we tend to act like we're the first generation to experience the hatred of the world. In truth, Christianity has been a persecuted faith since its inception. In fact, if you hadn't noticed, it was literally born out of persecution. Jesus didn't show up, ask to be crucified, and the Jews were like "oh, ok... Bit weird, but you're God, so we trust you." No, they persecuted Jesus out of genuine hatred.
One of the ways they persecuted Jesus was laying traps for Him to try to trip Him up, whether by causing Him to violate one of God's laws or their own. This is a strategy the world never grew out of, mainly because it actually "works".
Obviously, tripping Jesus over one of God's laws is completely impossible. But as sinners, we can stumble and fall over every single one of them. Sometimes, we can be tripped over them because we don't know them. Sometimes, we can be tripped because as much as we want to obey them all, it's just not realistic for us as sinners. In many cases, Christians can even be made to just deny the law because we don't like it. These are all things we need to be aware of when witnessing, and even when discussing in house issues.
Causing Jesus to trip over human issues is a lot easier. His opponents would often charge Him with breaking the laws they made up. In Mark 3:2, we have a clear example. Mankind has been trying to seize authority from God since the day Satan slithered into Eden and whispered into Eve's ear "ye shall be as God". We make our own rules, we expect others to follow them, we get offended when they don't. Such is the nature of the human race.
We see this a lot today. I remember a scenario in my own life where this very thing happened to me. There was a young man in college. Up until a certain point, we were on good terms. He would even ask me for help when he was struggling with his assignments. Then he found out I was actually serious about my faith, and so he asked me a question he very obviously knew the answer to: What do you believe about homosexuality?
The very fact that this was an immediate question shows he knew the answer. He wasn't asking out of casual interest, he was looking for grounds to be offended. Of course, I obliged. I honestly told him that in spite of my own history with homosexuality, I now believe it to be a sin. Suddenly, this once friendly young man turned into a vicious brute. Immediately, he called me very nasty names and unfriended me on Facebook. He would randomly show up elsewhere in my feed just to shout abuse at me, and although he was a lot less snappy in real life (probably because he was quite a bit smaller than me), he would shoot me very frosty looks.
The closer you get to Jesus, the more stuff like that you can expect from the unbelieving world, and far worse. As Jesus said, they hated Him first, and so they will hate you, too. They will persecute you like they persecuted Him. We can be grateful in this: In the post-Christian West, crucifixion is not a likely option. But the light of God will always be offensive to those who live in darkness, and so even your own family, if they do not know Jesus, may treat you as they treat Him. Do not be surprised, do not retaliate in kind. Respond as Jesus did. Lovingly preach the truth, and if that is repaid with insults, abuse, even violence, entrust yourself to the one who judges justly.
