I have really be having fun with letting the lord grow people instead of trying to Stuart everything for them. What we try to do with new believers is get them totally submerged in the word of god. Then start them into accountability with you and others then pray for each other and others that you want to see come to salvation. The cool thing about this is that the Lord with convict of sin and change Peoples hearts so that they want to live differently.
The last thing I want to do is give someone the do’s and don’ts.. You know what that is like. Christians don’t drink, christians don’t lie, so on so forth. What is so much easier is get them into the word so that they can see what the word says then. When these things start to sit in their heart they will be convicted and want to change these things. There does come a place where something needs to be said. The word says if you see a brother in sin go to them. Now the important thing is that he first has to be you brother. If there is no relationship it makes it very hard to correct. When you are confessing sin and being held accountable to each other, confrontation gets so much easier. Then you can come and correct in love.
It is also so important to let the lord lead you through this process. You are always looking to stay humble and listen to the holy spirit to work through the issue. I encourage everyone that knows the lord to get with people you know regularly and confess your sins to each other. In all reality your salvation is born out of that relationship.
