(2Ti 4:1) “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,…..(2) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,….” If those professing to be saved believe to “reprove” is not loving, then they certainly will think to “rebuke” is so. Each of us are born with sinful rebellion towards authority – aimed ultimately at God. Today, few respect authority. That attitude accompanies the saved into the church. Friend, we have not truly bowed to God’s authority until we are willing to bow in heart to those whom He gave authority: “Thou hast not lied unto man; but unto God”
