I believe that the words: Confront and Rebuke are harsh words!! Leaders need to be taught HOW to address issues that need to be dealt. One can be assertive without being cruel.. A good leader would offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, alternatives to the inappropriate behavior need to be presented. Our rector is gentle but firm... He informs himself of all the facts prior to meeting with the person. He is a mediator, not a dictator!! Our congregation has grown..

None of the above... Even if his mother believed in the God of the Hebrews,He had lived in the lap of luxury, surrounded by people who did not know God.. He had been sheltered..Seeing the violence caused his young, testosteron-filled body to rescue..
