Confrontation and Correction

Confrontaion and Correction 2 Timothy 2:23-26 Central Truth: As God’s useful servants, the spiritual leaders of the church are to confront and correct those in sin and serious doctrinal error. Parallel Passage: Matthew 7:1-6 Correction must be done in wisdom. (23) Is the person involved in clear disobedience to God’s Word? Is the person denying a fundamental of the faith? What is your goal in arguing the issue? Correction must be done in love. (24-25a) Correction is not quarrelsome. Correction must be kind to all. Correction must be based in Biblical teaching. Correction must be patient when wronged. Correction must be done in gentleness. Correction must be done for the sake of souls. (25b-26) The destiny of our souls are at stake. The assurance of our purpose is secure.
