Lobby Guidelines

You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!

The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site

But remember, always play by the rules: here

  • Questions about confronting someone about their sin

    I have to confront someone about their sin. He is one of my friends and he goes to my church. Please pray that God will give me wisdom and discernment and pray that the other person will repent.

    How do you go about confronting someone about their sin?

    Suppose I ask the person if he committed it, and he confesses that he did commit it. What more can I say than just, "You need to repent. You need to stop that sinful practice."?

    Suppose he says that he will repent, but does not actually repent. How would you respond to that?

    Suppose he says that he is trying really hard to repent, but can't seem to do it. How would you respond to that?

    I am part of a prayer group that meets occasionally. This prayer group consists of some people who do not attend my church. Would it be appropriate to ask the group to pray for me about confronting my friend about his sin? Would it be appropriate to mention the specific sin that he is committing? How should I respond if someone asks me about the specific sin that he is committing?

    Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

      Thank you for your advice. Matt 18:15-20 is the way to go.

      If someone had to confront me about my sin, I would want them to follow Matt.18:15-20 and be honest among other things.
