Correction and Rebuke Are Necessary

Next time someone tells you we should not correct or rebuke others, it might be good to remind them of God's Word.

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:"

Proverbs 3:12 "
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth."

13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die."

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul."

13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith."

Titus 2:15 "
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee."

20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
