I've learned that often, dealing with those in sin (happily) is much like childcare. Some need it boldly proclaimed to them, and others need you to take your time and set an example for them, and some will never listen no matter what. Figuring out which way each person responds to best is the hard part.

Sadly, many leaders in childcare feel you treat ALL children exactly alike at all times no matter what. Many Christians feel the same way about nonbelievers. I made the mistake of going the bold way with our daughter when she needed a lighter approach.

get to know the persona nd proceed from there.
