18.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…
Think through your time in the church? What sins do people commit that they suffer a
stigma for even if they repent and forsake that sin? This week take some time to ask
yourself what Christ would do with that person if He were the pastor of the church.
Carefully and prayerfully ask God how He would want you to address the issues of using
shame as a form of unforgiveness in the Christian life. Think through a plan for addressing
the issue, and the steps it will take to lead your congregation into a more Christlike way of
engaging restoration.
