very well written. using biblical authority and a proper humility before the Lord for both wisdom and zeal, this is a simple definition and explanation of church discipline. examples were very good. some of the recommendations at the end are a just that... recommendations.
Useful, even if its emphasis on formal membership is probably better suited to highly judcialized countries such as ðe US.
Church discipline is essential to building a healthy church. So how exactly do we practice church discipline?
Jonathan Leeman helps us face the endless variety of circumstances and sins for which no scriptural case study exists, sins that don’t show up on any list and need a biblical framework to be corrected appropriately in love.
Here is a contemporary and concise how-to guide that provides a theological framework for understanding and implementing disciplinary measures in the local church, along with several examples of real-life situations and the corresponding responses.
