Description
Should we actually practice church discipline today? Is it unloving? Once an ordinary part of church life, churches gradually stopped practicing church discipline in the 20th century. But Jesus commands it. Paul practiced it. And churches benefit from it. Why practice church discipline? It shows love for the individual caught in sin, love for the whole church, love for non-Christian neighbors, and love for the glory of Christ. In the Church Basics Series, trusted church experts write practical, trustworthy resources on issues like Church Discipline, the Lord's Supper, and Baptism that every pastor can hand every church member.
The Church Basics series will help new Christians understand the basics of ecclesiology. What makes a church? How is a church governed? What do baptism and the Lord's Supper have to do with the church? Aren't they personal acts? What role do local churches play in reaching the unreached with the gospel?
