Intentionally Act
- How have you wrongfully put others to shame? How might you be tempted to avoid this task? List out potential pitfalls of both of these ditches.
- After studying chapter 3:6-15 of 2 Thessalonians, are there any persons you may need to consider adjusting your association with them? What should change?
- How might you evaluate relationships in the future to better guard the church against those living unruly lives and those not adhering to instruction?
- How have you pursued admonishment of others? How have you set up relationships to receive admonishment when necessary? Consider steps you can take to strengthen these areas of your personal and corporate discipleship.
- Pray for those in need of repentance in the body. Pray also for your own heart to be humble to repent of sin and be guided by the Spirit as he leads you to conviction of your sin now and in the days ahead.
