How can we help each other have Xtreme Faith?
So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working. Jam 5:16 (BBE)
Sunday I talked about hanging out with and talking to other believers. One of the ways we can do what James talks about is by going to a small group. One of the guidelines of small groups is that 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.' Well, I mean, what happens in small group, stays in small group! The same should apply to our relationships with each other. If someone tells you something personal and confidential, if they bare their heart and soul and tell you their deep and dark secrets, put it in the vault! Then be sure to pray- together and individually! Disclaimer: you don't have to go around telling everyone EVERY sin you've commited. But if it's something you struggle with and need help with, or if it's something you think you need to share (not to brag about the sin) to encourage someone else (I got thru it, you can too!), do so with grace and the right heart attitude. God can work thru you and bless you greatly and help strengthen your faith as well as someone elses!
