Summary
Jesus told us to speak the truth in love. But for most of us, it’s hard! If you’d like to know how to speak the truth, with boldness and with love, join Chip as he reveals how to do just that.
Main Points Why must we admonish one another?- It is a command. --Colossians 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:14
- Because we all have “blind spots.” --Psalm 19:12; 139:23-24
- To become godly, holy, mature Christians. --Colossians 1:28-29
- It cultivates deep, loving relationships. --1 Thessalonians 2:8
- Because sin destroys a believer’s life. --Romans 6:23
- Because we are members of one another. Unchecked sin impacts the whole body --Romans 12:4-5
- It requires a life "full of goodness"
- It requires a life "filled with knowledge"
- It requires a "heart filled with love"
- Step #1: Examine your own life. --Matthew 7:3-5
- Step #2: Examine the Word. --2 Timothy 2:15
- Step #3: Examine your motives. --1 Corinthians 4:14
- Step #4: Set a time to meet privately. --Matthew 18:15
- Step #5: Ask specific questions to confirm data, and disarm the situation.
- Step #6: Tenderly point out the sin; show them the Scripture that applies to them.
- Step #7: If possible, develop a game-plan, timetable, and follow-up meeting for support and follow-through.
