Don't "Straighten 'Em Out" --- Restore Them!

In Galations chapter 6, the apostle Paul gives us some inspired instructions on how we are to properly restore a fellow Christian who has been overtaken in a trespass:

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted” (Gal. 6:1-NKJV).

This sounds like a simple verse, doesn’t it? It is simple, but many times, we abuse this verse. This verse states that we’re supposed to “restore” such a one — not “straighten ’em out.
