K.P. Yohannan addresses the alarming state of relationships within the Church, highlighting the lack of conviction of sin among leaders and the high attrition rates of missionaries due to personal conflicts. He emphasizes that the root of these issues lies in hardened hearts that are no longer tender towards God and others, leading to a poor testimony of faith. The sermon points out that many relationship problems stem from an unwillingness to take responsibility for one's actions and a desire to protect one's self-image. Yohannan calls for a return to humility and accountability to mend the brokenness in our relationships and families.

A.W. Pink emphasizes the significance of maintaining a tender heart, as highlighted in 2 Kings 22:19. He explains that while a tender heart is a divine gift, it requires diligent effort to preserve, particularly through vigilance against sin and cultivating a spirit of reverence for God. Pink warns that sin can harden the heart, and stresses the importance of prayer, the Word, and genuine contrition in recovering tenderness when it is lost. He encourages believers to reflect on their spiritual state and to actively seek God's love and mercy to restore their hearts. Ultimately, a tender heart is essential for a responsive relationship with God and for spiritual growth.
