Greetings Mommapbs! Thanks for the kind words! :-) I'm not sure I understand your last question! Could you clarify? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim - Clarification: If it by our works (actions) one is "shown" to be justified, then what does a believer's sin show? I see this verse as an encouragement to be mindful of our testimony of our redemption to others. Comments? What prompted this is my struggle with a staff member's un-Christlike behavior in full view of non-believers. The event was unsolicited,meaning I wasn't "watching" for this individual to "slip up." Hence I perceived it at the time as a God-directed observation - it really grieved me to watch and has caused me to question why God showed this to me. Right now I have a greater understanding how un holy actions of one member of the body can negatively affect others! As a teacher, I am in a position to edify w/o fingerpointing. I really don't want to be a Nathan to this individual, but I will be obedient if God directs me specifically here. (I suspect that the individual is unaware of the offending behavior as this is not the first time it has ocurred, but it was the first time I SAW it.) Any suggestions or encouragement for me here? In Christ mommapbs |

Greetings Mommapbs! Thanks for the clarification! This is a tough call! :-) It really depends upon the individual's attitude toward correction. I know that I would like to know if I were doing something that was dishonoring to Christ, but not everyone accepts correction well. I would certainly pray about and also consider if this were an aberration or a normal occurance. It is was an aberration, I might just let it slide. If not, I might gently approach the person and ask him/her if he would be open to some gentle correction! :-) Whoops! I just saw that you said it was not the first time! :-) Your Brother in Christ, |

Thanks Tim for your counsel! I can trust God's leading . . . as for correction, indeed it is a tough call. I'm not sure this individual is open or able to accept correction (from me personally)but God is more than able to accomplish His discipline with or without my intervention - I can't ignore the position He has allowed me to be placed in though . . . I know He'll make His will very clear to me here. Blessings! | ||||||
