Embracing Rebuke: A Path to Growth and Wisdom

No one likes rebuke. At least, not at first. Rebuke inherently involves confrontation. Not necessarily the kind that leads to heated arguments or fistfights, but a confrontation nonetheless. It boils down to the stark reality of being told, “You are wrong.” This is at the heart of every rebuke: a direct challenge to something we've said, done, or believed, showing it to be out of step with God’s truth. Despite our natural aversion to it, the wisdom of the Scriptures teaches us the value of engaging with rebuke.
