      When confronting sin, the Christian must distinguish between the private and the public. The private or secret sin should generally not be published (and is subject to Matthew 18), but the public sin is generally already published (and is not subject to Matthew 18). The primary goal of confronting private sin is to retain or to regain the erring brother; the primary goal of confronting public sin is to rebuke the false teacher and to protect those who would otherwise be led astray.

      In these matters, there are three core duties: the duty to God (which includes defending His honor and His truth), the duty to receive correction, and the duty to correct or rebuke. Confronting sin and correcting error are central parts of the Christian life. When theological or doctrinal controversies arise, there is both opportunity (e.g., for all parties to deepen in knowledge and faith) and danger (e.g., if false teaching is not rebuked and false teachers silenced, then wickedness may spread). How to approach specific situations is a matter of wisdom, but one that Christian men are absolutely not permitted to avoid.

      Silence in the face of false teaching is complicity in it. Silence in the face of false belief on the part of a brother is indifference (i.e., hatred) of that brother. As iron sharpens iron, we must help our brothers to stay on the strait and narrow. And as the shepherd defends the sheep, so we must be watchful for false teachers.

      The

      The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler. And I'm still, whoa. On today's Stone Choir, we're going to be talking about confronting sin. We're going to talk about the duties that we have to God and the duties that we have to each other, both to receive condemnation of our own sin

      0:55.6

      and to give condemnation when it arises. We'll talk about the various permutations of how this

      1:00.9

      stuff comes up and what we need to do with it. Just two brief bits of housekeeping before we get

      1:06.6

      into it. One, Corey has the second batch of challenge coins shipped up through about order number

      1:13.5

      roughly 200. And so that means about a third of the orders of shipped so far. So thank you to

      1:19.2

      everyone for your continued patience. This is a very manual process. We don't have any sort of

      1:23.7

      fulfillment partner or anything. Like it's literally him packing stuff and handwriting notes.

      1:28.0

      So it's laborious.

      1:29.3

      Thank you for putting up with the time it's taking, get them all out. They're really cool. Everybody loves them as they're receiving them. So if you're at the very end of the list, sorry you had to wait so long, but we promise it'll be worth it. And it's going to last the rest of your life. It's a cool thing to have. and when everybody gets to, you know, the next year's a convention at Ogden or wherever,

      1:46.7

      there'll be a lot of those

      1:47.5

      challenge coins coming out of people's pockets. Secondarily, next week, instead of a regular

      1:54.0

      show like we normally have, we're going to be including on this feed the first two hours

      2:00.0

      of a seven-hour six and a half hour interview

      2:02.2

      that Corey and I did with Will Spencer from Renaissance of Men. We had a really good conversation

      2:07.4

      with him. That's going to be going in part, at least behind his paywall on substack, but he was

      2:12.8

      gracious enough to give us the first two hours we'll be offering here. So instead of our usual

      2:17.2

      content, you'll hear that.

      2:19.0

      It's mostly going to be things you've heard before.

      2:20.9

      One of the nice things about having that episode up is that the introduction, with him asking us questions,

      2:26.4

      in some ways will be the actual introduction to Stone Choir that we never did ourselves.

      2:31.1

      To this point, really the best intro to Stone Choir has been interviews that we did
