10 questions to ask yourself when giving loving correction

Taken from Brad Bigney’s “Doing surgery part 2” message from when Marriage and Mercy Collide. 

  1. Have I prayed about this?

  2. Am I focused on promoting God’s truth or my own preference?

  3. Am I correcting in a Spirit of gentleness? (Galatians 6:1-2)

  4. Am I open to different/additional facts that could change my perspective?

  5. Is this just a hit and run or am I willing to see this through with them?

  6. Do I avoid using extreme language like “you never” or “you always”?

  7. Can I be concise or am I just wanting to “unload”? 

  8. Am I condemning or helping them move towards conviction and repentance?

  9. Am I pointing them towards the Gospel or am I just focused on their sin?

  10. Am I maintaining a posture of humility by asking: “Do you have any concerns with my attitude or approach in how I’ve brought these things to your attention?”
