Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Eph 5:11) “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”  I have no doubt that most of God’s people are shunning the fellowship of ungodly actions. But I don’t see or hear much reproving taking place. Believers have been shamed into silence with words like, “You are being unloving. That is not like Jesus.”  Friends, the Lord Jesus did a lot of reproving. We are to do so in love so I must assume that was how the Lord did it. Yet, reproving doesn’t seem loving to the object of it. All we can do is try the best we can to lovingly obey our Savior!
