If we are not in a mood to take advice, we are in no fit state to take decisions. The measure of our sanctification is the degree of our readiness to listen to a well-aimed rebuke. The truth hurts us because it is the truth about us. When Christians love one another they will at times need to rebuke one another. To such rebukes, when just and fair, we do well to submit, with thankfulness to God.
Love is very thin in any church or fellowship where a benign rebuke is badly taken.
The trouble with many of us is that we prefer a cowardly silence to giving a faithful admonition. The result is that all sorts of sins are tolerated which sadly mar the fair face of Christ's church.
