In a world where church practices often evolve, the question of whether to embrace church discipline remains contentious. The author delves into the historical significance of this practice, arguing for its relevance in fostering a healthy church community. He explores the delicate balance between love and accountability, challenging readers to reconsider preconceived notions about discipline within the church.
Leeman emphasizes that church discipline, rather than being a punitive measure, serves as a vital tool for spiritual growth and restoration. By shedding light on its biblical foundations and practical applications, he encourages congregations to engage with the process thoughtfully and lovingly. Through this examination, he seeks to inspire a renewed appreciation for a practice that many may view as outdated or harsh.
