The purpose of confrontation is NOT to just be right. It is never about pointing out something wrong with someone else. The motive MUST be to restore. To bring this person in sin back into fellowship wiht God and other believers. When we truly put one another first and walk out "carrying one another's burdens" then we see the importance in restoring relationships.We must have a pure motive in confronting sin. Doing so also causes us to examine our own hearts. I recognize that I can't boast in myslef and all the "great things I've done." Wooooo! Gross. We all are responsible for oursleves and our own decisions. But living with a love for the body means I am aware when another part of the body isn't working right- whether they're hurt, offended, or just caught up in sin. My heart isn't to expose their junk, it's to restore them. And how do I go about it? Go off on everyone living wrongly? Expose their weaknesses in front of everyone? No way. How would I want to be dealt with? What would bring restoration and repentance in my life? Probably someone gently rebuking me and helping me find my way home. I carry a flashlight not a spotlight.
