This document is from a Wednesday Bible study on speaking the truth in love. It discusses how love rejoices in the truth and how speaking the truth builds maturity in Christ. It examines several Bible passages about speaking the truth, such as correcting others gently to save them from sin. However, it notes that words must come from a pure heart and be said in love to truly help people. The key is to listen, understand others, protect confidentiality, and speak truth for their good in a loving way.

Lesson 10 in a series on the Ten Commandments. This sermon on the ninth command was presented October 9,2011, at Palm Desert Church of Christ, by Dale Wells.
This sermon deals with a common and often under-emphasized abuse - Gossip. In this sermon I suggest that gossip is tool by which Satan twists our God-given impulses to build intimacy and share good news and distorts them into a sharing of news not worth sharing at the expense of others. It builds a fragile intimacy and does great harm to the Body of Christ.
Gossip is a weed that troubles and chokes God's beautiful garden, the church. We must create culture and develop self-discipline that keeps His garden weed free. This message brings a Scriptural perspective on the issue of gossip, slander, back-biting, tale-bearing and provides instructions on how to fight it.

Just because something is legal, does not mean it is right for a Christian. Many Christians have accepted Satan's lie that if it is legal, it is right for Christians.
Are we our “brother's keeper” or our “brother’s brother”? What is the difference? What ways may Christians "err from the truth"? What is our responsibility to a brother who has “erred from the truth”? (19-20) In what ways can you as a Christian "convert" another Christian? How is this "conversion" accomplished? How is the "conversion" of Christ in a sinner's life different from what James is describing in this passage?

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
