Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Love One Another - How to Speak the Truth in Love, Part 1

Listen Later

Jesus told us to speak the truth in love. But for most of us, it’s hard! If you’d like to know how to speak the truth, with boldness and with love, join Chip as he reveals how to do just that.

Main Points
Why must we admonish one another?
  • It is a command. --Colossians 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:14
  • Because we all have “blind spots.” --Psalm 19:12; 139:23-24
  • To become godly, holy, mature Christians. --Colossians 1:28-29
  • It cultivates deep, loving relationships. --1 Thessalonians 2:8
  • Because sin destroys a believer’s life. --Romans 6:23
  • Because we are members of one another. Unchecked sin impacts the whole body --Romans 12:4-5
    • Who is competent to admonish?
    1. It requires a life "full of goodness"
    2. It requires a life "filled with knowledge"
    3. It requires a "heart filled with love"
      4. How to admonish - "the process":
      • Step #1: Examine your own life. --Matthew 7:3-5
      • Step #2: Examine the Word. --2 Timothy 2:15
      • Step #3: Examine your motives. --1 Corinthians 4:14
      • Step #4: Set a time to meet privately. --Matthew 18:15
      • Step #5: Ask specific questions to confirm data, and disarm the situation.
      • Step #6: Tenderly point out the sin; show them the Scripture that applies to them.
      • Step #7: If possible, develop a game-plan, timetable, and follow-up meeting for support and follow-through.
        • Conclusion: Admonition is God’s antibiotic for the church; done Biblically, it is the most loving thing you can do … for all concerned.
