An Overdue Need

[ollie]

It is interesting that this section of the forum has been created. It is a need among Christians to discuss the daily problems that may interfere with our Christianity and living in Christ. These are things that should be discussed with out fear of backbiting or gossip.

It relates to Paul telling the early church to confess your faults/sins  one to another. It relates to Him telling the church to care more for others than yourself and to look upon the things of others and edify, admonish, encourage, to keep one another strong in the faith in Christ.

I believe it is something that the early Christians did in assembly and which we do not do in assembly today. That is coming together and discussing problems that may subtract from our spirituality and ways to overcome and some maybe having something to contribute that would help overcome these problems without fear of the worldly strife of gossip, backbiting and the pain such would create. Those in Christ should not be of such.

Amen, Ollie. It is much of that which keeps people from confessing their faults from each other. The reprisals that are a result of such are to great in todays world. Perhaps a little too much self-righteousness?
