“No man is an island.” “A healthy flock is characterized by growth in faith, love, and purity , and progress toward likeness in Christ. But spiritually needy and problem sheep within the flock can and do impede its growth. That means the healthy sheep must lovingly, patiently, but truthfully deal with the difficult sheep to remove sinful impediments and ensure real growth. The key is not finding some clever strategy to bypass troubles, but addressing the issues directly, as shepherds and sheep alike admonish the wayward, encourage the worried, uphold the weak, bear with the wearisome, and render goodness to the wicked.” John MacArthur
