Times have changed so much over the last few years that some pastors are no longer sure how they should perform their roles as leaders and confront sin in the church.  Many of them are too busy organizing youth events or modifying the church website design to tackle the various issues that are unfolding in their congregations.

For some, they lack the courage it takes to ask their followers to explain their moral weaknesses.  Although others fail to understand the responsibility they have to confront sin at all times, especially in the most critical areas.

 

More often than not, pastors like to make a case that it isn’t their place to judge sinners but the Bible clearly encourages church leaders to tackle sin and ultimately deal with it before it becomes a problem for the ministry.  Obviously, in no way are pastors expected to scold congregants for minor sins or failures.  Instead, they should challenge those that sin on a repeated basis even though they understand the error of their ways.

 

Sin doesn’t always take the most immoral form of behavior possible.  Sometimes, those who sin hope to bring a divisive influence that sows discord and they are far more dangerous than those who don’t repent since the desire to maintain friendly relationships with them prevents the preacher from addressing the issue.  During these circumstances, church leaders must put their own discomfort aside to make sure the church is a healthy and positive place to worship.

 

While some leaders are hesitant to attack divisive followers, everyone understands the importance of condemning heresy.  Faithful Christians in leadership positions must attest to the validity of the Bible’s teachings and anyone that goes against God’s word should be opposed and corrected.  Even though the church website design needs to be improved from time to time, eliminating all forms of sin must be a top priority since it could weaken the message of the church!
