Summary
Sometimes the truth really HURTS! Getting straight talk from a friend is about as fun as getting a speeding ticket. But we all need people in our lives who will honestly level with us! Chip explains why it’s so important to be a truth-telling-best-friend.
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.
