Care for Him (Gen. 4:9)• 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. 5:44; Lk. 10:27ff), how much more our brother in Christ?

Speak to Him Privately (Matt. 18:15)
• Just because their post is seen in public doesn’t mean you humiliate them in public.
• Start in private and go from there.

Treat Him as a Brother (Gal. 6:1)
• Treat him gently. • Remember, Jesus died for your brother:
don’t destroy him. Cp. Jas. 5:19-20

“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.” (Matthew 18:15)
