Accountability 101

“Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.” Gal. 6:1

If you see a brother or sister in sin, do you go to them and talk to them with kindness and love, or do you just stop liking them and talk to others about them?

I would so much prefer, as you probably would, that someone just talk to me! I’m an open book!

If our “hearts are set on pilgrimage” we WANT the whole body to be healthy and get it right! We care far more for the kingdom than for our stupid egos!
Let’s help one another in a spirit of gentleness and humility to be the best hands and feet and mouthpiece of the Gospel as we can possibly be!

I can’t speak for how others feel but if you are a part of the same body that I am, I AM YOUR BUSINESS and I invite you to keep me straight!

This requires enormous humility on BOTH sides, but sistren and brethren, the kingdom of God is at hand and we ain’t got time for no petty games!

Addendums:
1. We Never rebuke someone for our assumptions about how they “feel” or for what we think they think, or because of something someone told us (“assuming” that we got all there is to the story), or for what we assume their motives or reasons are!

WE DON’T KNOW THAT! (1 Cor. 4:1-4)

There may be a WHOLE LOT that we don’t know…..
2. Get your facts straight. If it bothers you, ASK!

3. Our FIRST order of business is always keeping the log out of our own eyes! (Matt. 7:5)

Let’s love every member of the body enough to communicate!
For HIS Honor!
