Help

Romans 15:2 NLT
We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.


I think most believes agree with this scripture. In how we accomplish it is where we may differ.

It is so easy to judge others by the standards we set for ourselves. But what is right for us may not be right for another.

We try to fix others using the knowledge we have accumulated over the years of our life experiences coupled with the books we have read and the sermons we have listened to. Much of that is good but it may be man led instead of Holy Spirit led.

The standard we use should be God's word. As we spend time in His word Holy Spirit teaches us all things. Our mind is continually being renewed to be more and more the mind of Christ.

Others may need our help. But we don't need to fix people.We need to take them by the hand and disciple them so they too can have their mind renewed. They need encouragement and the fellowship of other believers as they begin their walk with Jesus.
