Vital Step to Radiant Faith-Restoration

February 8th, 2023 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is restoration.

When we are made aware that someone has gone astray, we have a choice to make. Will we do nothing about it and hope they come to their senses? Will we give up on the person? Or will we seek their restoration?

Galatians 6:1 shows us what to do. “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.”

This moment requires love and humility. Our own hearts are capable of compromise. The goal of reaching out to them is to restore them to a place of unhindered fellowship with God and the body of Christ. This is possible with a gentle spirit that upholds grace and truth.

Restoration is a vital step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.

Eye On Integrity-Gentleness of Christ

April 25th, 2018 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Eye on Integrity is based on Galatians 6, verses 1 and 2.

“Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

A person who has sinned against God does not need words of condemnation from those who follow Christ. What that person needs is restoration. As we pursue those who have wandered from the truth, we reflect the love of the Savior who left the ninety-nine sheep to bring us into His flock.

This is a sacred pursuit. It’s delicate. Gentleness is required. Handle the situation with care and concern. Wounded souls are valuable and fragile. We are wise to protect our own hearts from compromising situations as we seek to restore the hearts of others back to God.

Walking in the gentleness of Christ is a virtue to embrace for our lives in the Year of Integrity.
