Shame based therapy or "ministry" is at best risky
whilst some may respond
other sink into depression
shame risks robbing the recipient of self respect
shaming is NOT conviction of sin leading to repentance.
Those who do respond out of pride or self preservation
often become legalistic
having received no mercy, show no mercy.
.
Christian ministry, as I understand Christian ministry
is based on God's love and mercy and grace.
shaming is similar to judgementalism and condemnation.
"There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" Romans 8 v 1
God is love
God's perfect love casts out fear.
there is a better way ....
1. To know God's love and mercy and grace.
2. 1 John 1 states how a Christian should acknowledge sin
and to confess our sin to find forgiveness.
because Jesus Christ died in our place
our sins are forgiven.
but let us fear God
let us be grateful that our sins are forgiven.
the judgement that was on us was upon Jesus Christ.
let us love God
let us love God who first loved us. .
