Rebuke All Open Sin

Here is a pattern that all ministers ought to follow. Publicly and privately, from the pulpit and in private visits, they ought to rebuke all open sin, and deliver a faithful warning to all who are living in it. It may give offense. It may entail immense unpopularity. With all this they have nothing to do. Duties are theirs. Results are God’s.

I pray that I will always have people who will "speak the truth" into my life....no matter how hard.....no matter what!!! And those who will always be willing and able to deliver a "faithful warning" to me.... so necessary today....
