Kevin DeYoung also wrote a pretty crazy article on the following:
Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure- not to put it too severely- to all of you. For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. (2 Corinthians 2:5-7)
Church, can you both discipline and forgive? Without discipline, the church is a bastardized social club. Without forgiveness, the church is lost and does not know Jesus. Let us not impose both no standards and impossible standards.
"The true Christian will not pit grace against truth, love against faithfulness, discipline against forgiveness, unity against purity."
Aint that somethin'?
