Some people embrace all with kind words. While others may rebuke and correct offenses that are disruptive to the church of God. They are watchmen watching over the flock of God. They guard for not only wolf creeping in among the sheep but also improper behavior among peoples in the church of God that are not along the lines of what Christ wants for his children. There is a time to correct and a time to wait and listen. Jesus did that well in the New Testament.
I have a good friend that makes videos online. He shares love, hope and happiness messages, which are some of the emotions we may experience while on earth. I believe they call that "Red Letter Christian". Which is supposed to focus on the words of Christ first which some bibles make red to stand out. But that doesn't sound like Jesus in the bible in the first place. Christ also rebuked many people, spoke boldly to do the will of his Father, which was his will also. He warned against the consequences of actions which could endanger someone for death and hell under God's judgments. That is God's authority and power. He also spoke of many blessings for his followers.
While dealing with problems a person may experience what some consider are dark emotions, but a mature Christian can take that with the direction of God and use it for good. It is always wise, for the most part to provide solutions which bring hope while addressing troubling matters that are problems. Providing a positive hope and hoping the negative problem is fixed.
Doing that is not for all people. Christ has many people that are not called or chosen to fix problems and can go along life being among the flock. And that sounds very relaxing. Those types of people may make many friends. And that is OK, so long as their friends are not providing temptations which can become unwise to dwell around. Then a correction or self-removal is necessary at some point.
I had a chance to examine the churches of the earth, and have yet to find one that is correct without false doctrine. I will keep looking and hopefully there will be one that leads as the new testament teaches. At the end the Apostles under Christ and the Holy Ghost and the Father led that wonderful church of hope. It would have been a wonderful experience to be part of it. I don't see mention of that operation anywhere on earth in these the last days.
There is concern that the worldly people are falling away from God and also the churches.
I pray that God address that issue among his people.
