So far we have covered three of the five aspects of community, the first of our three small group purposes.
1. Knowing and being Known
2. Loving and being Loved
3. Celebrating and being Celebrated
This week we do number 4: Admonishing and being Admonished. That is, we have to tell and invite other to tell us the truth as they understand it. Sin hides well in self deception and personal sophistication. We have a hard time seeing our own sins and idols. But often times other people, less spiritually mature than we are can see our issues very clearly. We need that.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
When have you done this, and how did it go?
