  1. CORRECTION

  2. 1. How well do you give it? 2. How well to you take it?

  3. Matthew 18:15 " Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.

  4. 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

  5. Romans 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

  6. Matthew 10:16 " Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

  7. 1 Corinthians 9:19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

  8. Acts 18:24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; 28 for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

  9. Galatians 2:11 Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; 12 for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. 13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

  10. 1 Timothy 5:19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. 20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

  11. 2 Peter 3:15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation -- as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

  12. 2 Samuel 12:1 Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: "There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. 2 "The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. 3 "But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him. 4 "And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

  13. 5 So David's anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die! 6 "And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity." 7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 'I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

  14. 9 'Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon. 10 'Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.' 11 "Thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

  15. 12 'For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.' " 13 So David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 "However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

  16. When we are correcting someone, let us keep the following in mind: • Don’t neglect your responsibility to correct your brethren. The Scripture clearly teach that we are to watch out for one another, and correcting each other when we sin is part of that. • Before you correct someone make sure you have the facts straight and do not base your correction on hearsay. • Assume the best of your brother or sister in Christ.

  17. 4. Have the proper attitude when you correct someone. Do it because you love them and want to help them get to heaven. Don’t do it to make them feel bad or to get back at them. Remember the golden rule: treat others as you would want others to treat you. 5. Consider the personality of the person and the situation he is in. Some people you can tell point blank what they are doing, but others require well chosen words. 6. Never compromise God’s truth no matter how much someone tries to justify their sin.

  18. 7. Don’t make excuses for the sinner. We have a tendency to justify the actions of our parents or children when we would not give the same justification to anyone else. It doesn’t matter if they are close to you, if they are guilty of sin don’t make excuses for their sinful behavior.

  19. When we find ourselves on receiving end of correction, let us keep the following in mind: • We need to realize it is not easy for someone to come up to us and correct us, so instead of getting defensive right away, we need to listen carefully and see if what they are correcting us on is true. If it is, we must be humble enough to admit it and change our ways. • We need assume the best about our brothers and sisters when they do correct us realizing that they have good intentions to help keep us on the right path. We should consider it a blessing that we have someone the cares enough about us to point out the sin in our life because we should desire to want to know when we are doing wrong.

  20. 3. We must realize that we can and do make mistakes. We are not any better than the apostle Peter who had to be corrected, so let us not ever think we will never need to be corrected. 4. Even if our wrong doing is pointed out in a bad manner, we cannot use that as an excuse to not deal with our sin. Yes, the person telling us needs to learn to be more tactful in correcting someone, but our sin still need to be taken care of. 5. We must always be ready to repent. While we may not like being wrong, when we are, take care of the problem right away because no sin is worth missing out on heaven.
