The Bible repeatedly warns us not to be eagerly looking for opportunities to point out the faults of others. In fact, anyone who is eager to go and show a brother his sin is probably disqualified from doing so. Such eagerness is often a sign of pride or spiritual immaturity, which cripple our ability to minister effectively to others. The best confronters are usually people who would prefer not to have to talk to others about their sin but will do so out of obedience to God and love for others.

Ken Sande (* 1955) ist ein US-amerikanischer Jurist, Autor und Mediator aus dem evangelikalen Spektrum, der 1982 die Organisation Peacemaker Ministries gründete. Bekannt wurde er durch sein Buch The Peacemaker sowie Modelle zur biblischen Konfliktbewältigung, die auf persönlicher Schuldanerkennung und Versöhnung beruhen. Während seine Leitfäden die christliche Seelsorge und Konfliktberatung nachhaltig prägen, wird an solchen Schlichtungsverfahren kritisiert, dass sie bei Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt zu Lasten des Schutzes von Betroffenen gehen können.
