Sometimes what’s blatant is a matter of perspective. We know, to our humility if we are cognizant, that we won’t be rid of the presence of all our sin — the repentance won’t be finished — until we get to glory with Jesus.

Brethren may see the sin clearly but also be unable to muster the grace to set the erring person right in love. Such brethren should also try being a bit more humble to see if that will gain them better effectiveness. A jillion published articles about fits of anger might not do as much good as one loving brother or sister coming in private.

Part of the problem might not be pride as much as fear of rejection, fear of the reaction on the part of the person being confronted.

I know that for me that has beena factor in the past but by God's grace, I am learning to overcome that.
