Short accounts

There are spiritual trip-hazards and death-traps from outside the community of God's people, but there are also sins that disrupt it from within. We need to take heed to ourselves. That means that we learn to deal righteously with the sins that we commit against one another: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents forgive him. At the cross, we learn forgiveness, and become forgiven forgivers.
