Reproved

Interestingly on the heels of leading Bible study on Reproof, and Pastor Alex’s sermon involving reproof, I recently experienced once again that sharp pain in your heart.

But in the midst of the pain and as I observed the way reproof and reconciliation works in a Biblically-minded body of believers, I rejoiced and was praising God as I saw the beauty of how the local church works, despite past rough circumstances or relationships, as we prioritize and submit to God’s Word.

Just as in Proverbs 9:8, I was amazed as I did indeed feel a great love for my reprovers welling up inside me.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.
Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear. Proverbs 25:11-12
