Serving those who serve others

You can check out a significant blog article from Tim Stevens here which punches me in the gut! Another component is how we help others move from their failures to restoration. A good friend recently resigned his ministry due to an affair which had been going on for some time. I was stunned by the fact that I did not ever suspect it and yet I wonder if I might have helped my friend, had he asked. Why did he not ask? As leaders in the church, we struggle to know how to help people who have “fumbled the ball” and in our hesitancy, we can give the impression that we don’t care. But we do! So how do we enable others to rise again from the point of failure? What are the personal things I need to do, to say, to help me friend? Post a comment and let’s strike a commitment to care more, to forgive quickly and to enable others to fulfill their God-given potential. I’ll be looking for your comment.
