Care for Him (Gen. 49)

• Unlike Cain (who had hatred for his brother) your
  love for your brother demands that you are there
  for him even when he sins.
• If Jesus taught us to love our enemies (Matt.
  544 Lk. 1027ff), how much more our brother in
  Christ?

Speak to Him Privately (Matt. 1815)

• Just because their post is seen in public doesnt
  mean you humiliate them in public.
• Start in private and go from there.

Treat Him as a Brother (Gal. 61)

• Treat him gently.
• Remember, Jesus died for your brother dont
  destroy him. Cp. Jas. 519-20

in private if he listens to you, you have won
your brother. (Matthew 1815)
