Chris Monroe thinks that it's important that we not condemn the sinful lifestyles of spiritual seekers if we wish to be effective evangelists:
By suggesting that we must "let the seeker sin," I am not saying that we should endorse, excuse, or embrace sin. Sin is a powerfully destructive force, ruining not only one's own life, but wreaking havoc in one's family, one's circle of acquaintances, and even society. I am, however, suggesting that we must learn how to be with seekers -- resisting the urge to judge or demean them for their choices and lifestyle -- but instead, extend a heartfelt welcome to all people, inviting them to be our friends and to begin exploring with us (for we are ALL sinners) a life of following Jesus Christ.
