Confrontation

Sometimes confronting people and issues head on is necessary.  Sometimes a more indirect and "sneaky" method is more suitable.  Prayer is a good way to decide which is best if it is not obvious.

 

Often it is the harder thing to do to confront something head on.  If that seems like the case, then it is likely this is the way forward.  God rarely makes dealing with issues easy on us.  He wants us to grow and develop.

 

If you notice a fellow believer (who is close to you) involved in a regular sin, it is usually best to confront directly.  That doesn't mean you have to be harsh.

 

Some ideas of things to say that can be direct and indirect:

"Do you think your actions here are suitable, my friend?"

"Will you have confidence before God on Judgement Day in the light of these actions?"

"You seem to struggle with this, can I help you in some way?"

"I've noticed that 'so-and-so' does this different to you when faced with the same situation.  What do you think of that?"

"Jesus had this to say about those sorts of actions..."
