Charles Finney addresses the Church about the critical distinction between censoriousness and Christian faithfulness, emphasizing that reproof is a necessary aspect of spiritual growth and accountability. He argues that many confuse the act of reproving sin with being judgmental, which can lead to detrimental consequences for the Church. Finney insists that ministers, like all Christians, must be open to correction and that failing to accept reproof reflects a proud spirit. He calls for a culture of compassionate and faithful reproof within the Church to ensure its health and integrity. Ultimately, he encourages a humble acceptance of correction, citing biblical examples to support his points.
