KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
A good church is a disciplined church.
The end goal of discipline is PEACE!
Our most important job, our most important profession, is as a professing Christian!!! And we’re all called to be good leaders in some capacity!!
The best way to inspire change is to model it.
We bring Christ maximum glory when we are models of professionalism… just like being a good, reliable soldier.
How do we, as a community, deal with sin in the church?
Sin in a local assembly is frustrating to peace. It also dims the light which we, as a church, are to shine forth into our community.
We are to deal with sin like a family. We keep it within the family by identifying, judging, and disciplining, as required.
This calling from the Lord Jesus should INSPIRE us. Allow yourself to be inspired by our great Leader and Savior!! Act 5:31
