Satan among us...
Now that FRC is openly waging a war against Satan I feel more attacked that ever by him. I feel that he is targeting me because I am one of the newest staff member at the church, and that he is using the people closest to me. I'm not sure if he is using me against them, or them against me. i don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but has anyone felt that at times they just want to call out people on their behavior but not sure if your could be totally out of line?? Jesus called out His closest disciples... Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." - Matthew 16:23.

15"If your brother sins against you,[b] go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'[c] 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be[d]bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.
19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
-matthew 18
If you know its a sin that is keeping the church from being like minded then I'd say call it out just as it instructs here in matthew. Always in a loving, correcting, and encouraging way of courrse. But you are very loving so I don't think you'll have a problem with that.
