Matthew 18. "15 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. 16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector."
I feel like I'm completely missing the context of this. Seems kind of harsh. Is this sin, like one of the 10 commandments sin? Is this where the concept of "intervention" comes from?
My only other thought on this day was more hilarious (to me) (because I'm immature). It was from the Proverbs reading: "18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love." Poor Steve. I doubt my little breasts always satisfy him. And I can't say I've ever been a graceful doe.
But I thought the passage was beautiful.
