The Uncomfortable Call to Persistently Restore Others through Correction
www.saintpj.com
I hate correcting people and calling out sin. That might surprise some people who know me. I feel like Rodgers (Captain America) getting punched and knocked down repeatedly, looking up at the one assaulting me, and saying, "I can do this all day." The truth is I can't. I'd rather quit and mind my own business. But I can't do that and honor the Lord Jesus. As much as I hate correcting people and calling out sin, I hate leaving someone stuck in their sin without the good news of the gospel, God's truth, and God's commands. It's good for their souls. And it's good for my selfish soul too. The good news is God is glorious so I don't have to fear others. God is gracious, so I don't have to prove myself to others. Because I fear God in Christ Jesus, I'm free to love others without fearing their displeasure or needing their approval.
