This morning on my way to work I was listening to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio. I do this every morning but this morning they asked a question, that became to real in my world. The question was, "What do you when you know someone is or has done something wrong?" To me I took this question to, "How do you minister to someone that you know is or has done something wrong?" Now I know we all do wrong and we all sin, but what do you do when you find out a very close friend will be arrested next week because of a wrong decision? What do you do when you know that another one of your friends is doing illegal drugs? What do you do when you know that someone close to you is not being honest in their business? What do you do when sin really gets in the way? These are not rhetorical questions. These are the questions that people are asked everyday at work, at home, and even to themselves. In Mike and Mike's case it was talking about baseball players that know other players that are doing HGH. In my case, it is the people I minister to at my church.
So I am really asking you, "What do you do when . . . ?

1 Response to "What do you do when . . . ?"That is a good question. One that I am dealing with everyday. A couple weeks ago one of my ministry volunteers was accused of murdering his wife and put in jail. All I have known to do is to love and pray for the truth to be brought to light. So, I have hugged and cried with his family and talked with his friends. When people are really hurting, they just want to know that someone cares. I don't think we ever really know "what to do when..." so we make it up as we go along, but if we truly follow the Lord's example we must live out Christ's love for us. If He loves me to the point of death, I can surely love others with my life.
