Teamwork: Restoring the Fallen

Have you ever been on a team and somebody messed up? Usually when a team member messes up…it impacts the whole team. Here’s the question…what do we do when someone messes up? What do we do when someone falls or falters in their walk with Christ? How do we respond? What is our core values? What is our shared values? What do we do when someone messes up? Why is this question so important? It is important because as we make disciples and invest our lives in people…we need to understand that people are not perfect…and sometimes they fall…sometimes we fall. What do I mean by fall? I mean that someone sins, someone denies Christ, either by word or deed. When they fall…how will respond? Will we be harsh, critical, or legalistic…or will we restore them? God’s word teaches us to restore the fallen…it is a biblical principal! You see…God’s grace and mercy is on display when He uses broken people…people who have fallen. Since restoration is a biblical principal How do we restore the fallen?
