One thing I struggle with is rebuke. How do I tell somebody in love (the way that Jesus would) that their beliefs/actions are unbiblical?

I don’t believe that being the bearer of “bad news” is anybody’s primary calling. Actually, I think Christlike rebuke is a big part of everybody’s calling (if you love Jesus and have an active relationship with Him). Read this scripture carefully.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

2 Timothy 3:16 - 4:2

This scripture has re-ignited passion within me to learn to rebuke in love with “all longsuffering”. Sounds easy enough, right?

We’ll see. The next coming months will be the teaching ground for God to show me how to rebuke in love. (hint towards that postponed blog post that is STILL soon to come!)

Jesus, anoint me to bring correction and say the tough things in love!
