- Sproul 632
- This paragraph tells us the purpose of church discipline.
- Often people are more concerned about the individual who is sinning (are we being mean to them?) rather than Christ’s reputation.
- Think of all of the recent church scandals. To a degree, all of them are due to a lack of church discipline.
- Church discipline is to match the offense that’s taken place.
Chapter 31: Synods and Councils
- This is the purpose of the various denominational meetings I go to.
- Notice how important worship is.
- Sproul 638-39
- Denominations can be wrong / error.
- As we’ve seen in earlier episodes, the church and state should not meddle in each other’s affairs. Yet, the church has a responsibility to be the religious conscience of its nation.
