One of the most important things that Christians do is to warn one another. This is especially true when it comes to issues of faith and morality. It’s important to be aware of what’s happening around you, and to be aware of the people around you.
Sermon About Admonish One Another
1. Admonish One Another
Admonition often includes the application of God’s inspired principles to a problem or circumstance.
That is, it includes wisdom, which is properly defined as God’s instruction applied.
We are to help each other obtain wisdom. God commands us to share and receive wisdom.
Teaching in Proverbs 1:1-6 10:17,21 11:14 12:1,15 13:1,18 14:16 15:2, 7, etc.
Teaching in the New Testament Titus 2:3-5 1 Corinthians 10:11 1 Timothy 4:13 2 Timothy 4:2
Are some Christians so influenced by the world’s “judge not” mindset that we are unable to properly receive admonition from our brethren.
Are we too quick to put up defenses and think evil of brethren when they fulfill God’s command to admonish?

You need to be able to discern between good and bad people, and you need to be able to defend yourself against those who threaten your faith. It’s also important to be aware of what’s going on in your own life, so that you can make sound choices about how you spend your time and how you interact with others.
