What does ministry of correction mean?

[Angeltp]

Hi! Everyone,
Does anyone know what the ministry of correction is all about? Is it part of evangelism or its entirely different. Just trying to know if there is more to it than waiting to correct someone’s behavior. Thanks.

I have been an active adult Christian for 45 years in several Christian denominations and have never heard of such a ministry or "gift." But I do not frequent the Pentecostal, Catholic, and a couple of other Christian denomination arenas. They might have heard of such a thing. You might be referring to a prison chapel position. I retired from DOC and never heard of such, though.

Ok, thanks. I appreciate it.

Hi sister,
I do not know where you have heard the ministry of corrections, or what actually may mean !

I will tell you what I know.

Hi sister in Christ,
Have you know that our Heavenly Father God corrects whom He loves ? Yes, our Lord God works or ministers in our life in this way.

My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof, -Proverbs 3:11
for the LORD reproves him whom He loves, as a father the son in whom He delights. -Proverbs 3:12

We are God’s children who are redeemed by the blood of Christ.

Yes, it is a part of evangelism.

When God discipline us, it hurts ! We suffer !
But we suffer for doing what is right not that we suffer for doing what is wrong !

When a person is born blind, does he not he suffer ? But he suffer for what is right, that the glory of God may be revealed in his life.
Do we not suffer that we may live for God’s glory.

Have you not ever been afflicted — have you not ever been offended for saying and doing what is right —- do you know not suffer for what is right—- when you suffer for what is right — does that not mean that you suffer for Christ’s sake —-
Yes, when you suffer for righteousness’ sake, you suffer for Christ.

when you are humbled in this manner, do you hate or do you forgive those who do you wrong?

Is it not when you hate, that you are corrected ?
Is it not when you forgive, that you walk in His way — to be merciful to others.

Remember the Lord tells us to pray for those who spitefully use us.
Remember the Lord told us to be like the Heavenly Father who give rain on the good and bad people.

GBU

Angeltp,

It appears you’re referencing the spiritual gift of exhortation that’s mentioned in Romans 12:8. Ministries operating in the gift are often related to shepherding and counseling. But its useful in other aspects (like teaching) and is commonly referred to as encouragement. Barnabas is a good example of the gift in action. He encouraged and exhorted.

I don't know about a ministry of correction. The word of God is sufficient. (2 Timothy 3:16). I believe that those in leadership should be prepared to correct and reprove those who are out of line. Correction is intended for those who are unwittingly wrong, usually due to ignorance. Reproof is for those who should know better. God's word makes it clear what is and is not acceptable. It's easy to get off track. Sometimes the only way back is for someone to point out an error to the person who has gone astray. It's not to punish, but to rescue the person from danger.
