We Are Terrible At This

I sin. You sin. It's a fact. We all do things that are wrong.

Yet so often we get caught up in focusing on each other's failures. 

We see our friends sin and we think: 

"How could they do that?"

"They are a Christian and they were caught doing that?"

"I would never do that."


It seems to us like a sin that sets them apart from us. 

They will never regain our respect and friendship.

 "Brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path." - The Apostle Paul (Galatians 6:1)

Two words we are terrible at: Gently and Humbly.

See the person behind the sin. 

See the life Christ died to save. 

Remember their value is the same as yours with Christ. 

It's time to stop harping on each other, and start helping each other.
