TEXT: 2 Corinthians 7:2-12
- Who do you have in your life who can call you into account? What is it about a relationship that enables this level of honesty? Is your Life Group the kind of safe place where this can happen?
- James 5:19 puts this discussion into a specific context. Helping someone avoid or stop sinning is huge. However, we must exercise great care to not confront someone else over anything but biblical standards. How do we discern between biblical and cultural views to be certain we are staying biblical when we confront another believer?
- For the believer, resolving relational conflict is very different than it is for those who do not believe. How, specifically, can believers demonstrate this difference in their Oikos? Do you have an example to share?
- I must be convinced that you deeply love me and/or have my best interests at heart before I will seriously consider your complaint about me. I don’t think this is unusual, so how can I be sure my motive is pure when I confront a fellow believer?
