The Impossibility of the Christian Life – Part 2
The Impossibility of the Christian Life – Part 2
Church discipline is rarely practiced in modern Christianity. Yet this is something that Jesus Christ has told us to do, and Christ is more loving than any of us, so if we refuse to practice excommunication, than we are far less loving than Christ. May our view of love be that which is found in the life of Christ and not a view that is made up from our own understanding.

But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
