Bible Question:
I am a leader of a christian dance and drama team.I feel that I'm accountable for what or who that participates. This is my question I am not trying to judge,But If you know that someone is living in sin(living with someone out of wedlock)even though they say their not sleeping with this person.It's still a matter of your witness,Right? I have prayed about this,and I feel that god is not pleased with this situation.How would you go about handleing this ordeal? |
Bible Answer: Take him at his word. If you are afraid it will hurt your image that would not be the reason to kick them out. Remember that you represent the church to them and if you kick them out they may never return to any church in the future. Consult the pastor of your church and let him decide. Usually what happens is if you confront them they will get mad and never come back to your class. They will talk about you. Others will take sides. Those who side with them will leave also. It could even destroy your present class. Ministry is hard, is it not? Watching others continue in sin does grieve us but we must wait for God to work in their lives and bring them to repentance.
