Personal Correction

I blogged on some thoughts about Jesus' teaching on correction. The gist of my take on it is this:
Biblical correction comes from love. You correct someone out of your love and concern for someone's soul.
If you gossip about someone, you do not have love.

If you harbor un-forgiveness against someone, you do not have love.

What would the church look like if we had enough love to obey Jesus, and meet with and talk with our brothers and sisters when we have a problem with them?

I wish that anyone who had a problem with something I did would love Jesus, and love me enough to obey Jesus and talk to me about it. Don't you?

    Amen, Jon! Jon, I have known you for a decade now. If there is anyone who I trust desires to do exactly what is wise and in love, it is you. I know that you stand strong for God's truth...but you do so with a compassionate heart (seeking to never gossip or cause dissent or division in the Church). I hope those around you take the time to really get to know your heart because they'll truly see a man after God's own heart.
