       I would like us to consider a couple of verses from the Apostle Paul written in Galatians chapter 6. Paul said, “Brothers and sisters, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:1-2, ESV). So, we as fellow believers are supposed to be gracious and kind to fellow believers within our church if they caught in a sin. When the person is repentant, we are to help the best we can to restore that person to fellowship. We are not supposed to be like the world, where often times when someone is caught doing something wrong, the world will send the person into exile. The person is expected to resign or whatever it be and go off into a corner, at least for a while. And that may be true for a time even with a Christian, but the person should be restored. We are supposed to help each other, in the body, with their problems and thereby facilitate peace and be a peacemaker. This makes God happy, and makes everyone happy really.
