Bible Note: 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 |
