Q: What do you do if you see someone doing something wrong, and it needs to be addressed? I mean, how do you know if God wants you to say something to them about it --- or mind your own business?
A: There is plenty of Scripture available to help us understand that minding your own business is never Biblical. Really it's not. If someone is sinning, Christians are obligated to address the issue with them (Galatians 6:1). Of course to do that effectively, you have to do it in love. Speaking the truth to someone without loving them will just come off as being mean.
So make sure you love the sinner and hate the sin. Then pray and ask God to give you the words and the timing to address the sin you see in someone else's life. And be courageous enough to obey and let the Holy Spirit lead you through that conversation with that person.
