Often in the Christian life, we are called to encourage others spiritually by affirming their right choices. However, it can be challenging to avoid the pitfalls of flattery. What does Scripture say about affirming others in spiritual matters?
This week, Janet and Jocelyn discuss how to genuinely affirm others on their spiritual walk. They explore the importance of motivation, emphasizing that affirmation should aim to glorify God and build others up, not seek personal gain. By grounding our affirmations in Scripture, we can encourage other believers in a way that honors God and promotes spiritual growth.
