Don′t Kill A Wounded Soldier
When we correct someone just to show how righteous we are, we are attacking their self-esteem, adding to the weight of guilt hey already bear, and making it more difficult for them to come to Christ.
Unfortunately, many Christians use their superiority complex to hand their own brothers and sisters over to the devil.
If the wounded soldier get help from the enemy's camp, they may never return to their own camp again. This is why many backsliders keep going deeper into sin.
If a fellow believer falls, don't condemn the person. Don't turn such a person into an object of gossip, rather, geth other Christians together to pray and follow up on the fellow until he or she comes back to God. (Job 4:3-4)
“Show love to any believer you know that may require encouragement by calling or sending a message to say you will always be there for him or her.”
Memorise: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)
