James 5:19-20
My brothers and sisters, if one of you should
wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their
way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Imagine knowing that there is something dangerous
on a path that your friend is on. Would
you warn them of the danger ahead or leave them to figure it out themselves? Of course, you would warn them.
So why is it then that we do not warn them of
dangers in their spiritual life?
We often hear that we are not to judge
others. While this is true to a point,
we are also called to help one another when one wanders from the truth. There are areas in the Bible that are a bit
on the gray side and other things that are very black and white. Those areas that are black and white are the
areas that we are to guide a person back to the truth if they wander.
