A question for you: If you know someone in your church is in sin, what are your responsibilities? Perhaps more than you think. If you’ve never quite been sure of what to make of this thing called church discipline.
How should the church respond when one of its members is sinning? Some might say that it’s no one else’s business as long as no one else is affected . . . but what does the Bible say about confronting sin in the church?
Here are some important questions for you: Are you willing to confront sin in the life of a fellow Christian? And are there any circumstances in which someone else’s sin is none of your business?
How do you pick out a Christian from a crowd? Well, Jesus said that the world will know you’re a Christian by your love. So consider this: How does God expect you to demonstrate love to someone in your church who is sinning? What does love in that situation look like?
Is there a subject that’s talked about, written about, and sung about more than love? Of course, for Christians, love is key to our identityScripture says that people will know you follow Christ because of your love. But exactly what is that love supposed to look like?
