And know that your sin will find you out 

Numbers 32:23 NET

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Hebrews 4:13 NIV

Truth: Don’t lie, and don’t miss an opportunity to teach your children the personal consequences of sin….starting with your own sin.

  O Lord, from the depths of despair I cry for your help: “ Hear me!

Answer! Help me!” Lord, if you keep in mind our sins then who can ever get an answer to his prayers? But

you forgive! What an awesome thing this is! That is why I wait

expectantly, trusting God to help, for he has promised.   Ps 130:1-5 LB

When and How should you go and confront someone? (Peacemakers Ministry)

• When someone has something against you (Matt 5:21-24)

• When someone’s sins are too serious to overlook (Matt 18:15)

Questions to ask yourself:1. Is it dishonoring God? (Rom 2:21-24)

2. Is it damaging your relationship?

3. Is it hurting others? (Luke 17:2-3)

4. Is it hurting the offender? (James 19-20)

Truth: When we go through difficult times, there will always

be people watching us. We will make an impression,

whether good or bad. We will have a witness, either of

faith or unbelief.
