Scriptures Reviewed: Prov. 10:11-13, 17:9, Eph. 4:32, Heb. 8:12.

Discipleship Points: Caring believers cover and not repeat sin, gently restore others. All believers have the essentials in common (salvation by grace through Christ, Trinity, Bible is God's Word/is inerrant, etc.) so attacking others re: non-essential doctrines is WRONG and not biblical. Manny recounts how someone "put him down/said he would not be much" and the hurt caused...as well as how God redeemed and has used him.
