A young man was saved from alcohol by the knowledge of Jesus Christ. His life took a radical turn for the good. This continued for many months, and everyone was amazed and pleased with his progress. During the cold winter months, this young man was walking home. He was delayed by the raising and lowering of a bridge across a river. To escape the cold wind and snow, he stepped into a bar where they serve alcoholic drinks. In that setting where he had been many times before, he gave in to temptation and ordered a drink. He ordered another and another. When he left the bar, he was intoxicated. Two young men from the church he attended saw him leaving the bar and followed him part of the way home. What would they do? Would they tell everyone that this young man was drinking once again? Would they gossip about him? Would they ridicule him and discourage him? No. They took him home that night and got him sober. They told him that no one else would ever know what had happened that night. They encouraged him. The next morning this young man was sober and sorry for what he had done. He knelt with his friends and prayed to God for forgiveness and for strength to never give in alcohol again. He became a minister of the Gospel. How different it might have been if those friends had not treated his sin with a loving attitude. Love bears all things, we should take this approach with other people. Instead of trying to broadcast all the dirt and filth we know about other people through gossip, let us speak of others the best we can. Let us quietly work to help others correct their faults. Let us be humble when we are aware of the faults of others, knowing that we ourselves are not perfect.
