Doran's Rule for Triggers

You are not able to draw conclusions from:

• tone of voice

Matthew 18 Rules for Confrontation

When i suspect a sin has occurred:

• I go to my brother for his rescue in humility in private to point out what I think may have happened.
• I am open to his persepctive and if we have what seems to be an infraction yet still disagree:
• I bring another along with me to confirm all facts. If facts cannot be confirmed, I have to let such things go and trust the Lord.
• At any point along the line of confrontation I look for his reconciliation and for things to be set right.
