Reproving Other Believers

Jesus Christ set a clear pattern for reproving other believers during his earthly ministry.

Matthew 18:15-17:
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

O wondrous grace within me,
That brings me life divine.
O font of endless mercy,
That ever more ‘tis mine.
The Father’s love extended
Through Christ to all who come,
Life’s burdened works now ended,
And saved in God’s own Son.

O the matchless grace of God
That I could never earn.
O the wondrous mercy,
For which my heart did yearn.
O the bless-ed peace,
That came o’er me now I’m saved,
O the precious blood of Christ,
God’s own Son that He gave.

O Sing My Heart within Me

Here is a new hymn for a new day to rejoice in.

O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
His boundless life of love.
O may our hearts before Him,
In thankfulness resound.
That every voice now present
In His sweet grace be found.

O sing with joyful gladness,
For now the price is paid.
Sin’s cruel reign is over,
And life from death remains.
Yet, ever Satan’s forces
Persist unyieldingly,
And tho’ our foe is vanquished,
He mocks Christ’s saving tree.

So what is our endeavor,
When faced with worldly hate?
Christ’s love will ever conquer,
A victory so great!
Forgive as we’re forgiven,
And speak the truth in love.
Keep every thought committed,
For Christ’s strength is enough.

And now on hallowed footsteps,
We live this life of grace,
With mercy and love’s kindness,
Undaunted, challenges face.
What hope gives us endurance,
To quench each fiery dart?
‘Tis Christ’s own spirit in us,
His words within our heart.

So now we look unto him,
And to that glorious day.
With spiritual bodies clothed,
No sorrow, tears remain.
O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
This endless life of love.

[Sung to the tune of “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”]

Background

Psalm 138 is in the Deuteronomy Book of the Psalms (Psalms 107-150). These 44 Psalms, like the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, show God’s Word as the source of salvation, deliverance, and healing. This would be fully carried out in the life of the coming Messiah, the living Word, Jesus Christ. Psalm 138 gives praise for God’s constant protection and care to David. The Lord in his mercy will “perfect” that concerning David by sending the promised Messiah to redeem mankind.

Each verse of Psalm 136 includes a chorus “For His mercy endureth for ever,” which shows the musical nature of this Psalm.
