If someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1
In a day when intervening in someone's life is no longer politically and socially correct, these verses ring out like a gunshot on a still night. Sin is still real and is just as deadly as ever. Yet because we fear being branded judgmental and self-righteous, we let many who are trapped by sin go to their spiritual death. The call is for nonjudgmental intervention — we recognize the gravity of the sin and the need of the sinner, without feeling arrogant in our righteousness. "There but for the grace of God go I."
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26
So that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 2 Corinthians 2:7
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 1 Corinthians 10:12
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
Lord, help us to forgive as You forgave us.
We love because You loved us first.
Give us strength, grace and mercy to help others so that they may be restored.
Help us to reflect Your love in the Church so that we will be of one accord.
Give our pastors, leaders and all of our brothers and sisters the strength, courage and patience to help each other, to carry each other’s burdens.
We pray this in Jesus’ name,
Amen
God Bless as all!
