The Art Of The Rebuke

"Satan get behind Me"
"The Wrong Rebuke"
I hate being rebuked and I hate giving a rebuke. But there is a need today in our Churches to learn the "Art of the Rebuke." So before we start let us come together through prayer seeking God's heart in this matter of the Christian rebuke.

But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect.
