Haver you ever had to address a troubling issue with a friend?  Maybe they were having an area in their life where you knew they weren’t acting the way they should.  It can be difficult to navigate how to handle those types of situations.  Perhaps you have wrestled with whether or not you should address the situation.  Perhaps we can gain some insight from Galatians 2 and the interaction between Paul and Cephas (Peter).  Let’s look at it together today.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
