Heres a gem of a principle from the Bible on dealing with people you think are doing the wrong thing... Matthew 18:15-17 (NIV)

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector."

How much better would the church be if we actually lived by that? How much better is that than people going behind your back to other people and talking about how bad you are?

So 4 easy steps:
A) Approach them on your own (then if they dont repent)
B) Then with a couple of people (then if they dont repent)
C) Get the church on it (then if they dont repent)
D) Try and get this person saved

The church in general has not been good at getting 'Christians' to repent. So often people get caught up in 'being saved' that they forget that we still need to live in continual obedient faith in Christ. Are you a Christian who still sins? Then you need to repent.

Sorry to everyone I have spoken of behind your back. Of course if I realise Ive done this I'll talk to you about it. If I dont get in touch with you I probably dont know Ive done something, so approach me as the passage says and restore me!

How good are Kingdom values...

Our Corps is now going Fair Trade! I was able to talk about it at Corps Leadership Meeing and get to do a quick talk in church about it. We're not going to buy coffee stained by the blood of innocent people anymore, and we're going to strongly encourage all the corps folk to only buy Fair Trade coffee and chocolate from now on!
