1 | How do we discipline church members? | 1 Cor 5:12 | newoldstock | 93405 | ||
This question is concerning a true event that was recently related to me and is not hypothetical. A woman told her husband, a church deacon, that she could not longer stand being married to him. She moved out and within two weeks moved in with another man. She continued to attend the church with the new boy friend. The pastor spoke to her about the unappropriateness of her continuing to attend church under the circumstances. She replied that she loved the church and the congregants and had no intention of leaving their fellowship. The minister next visited her with several other deacons to discuss the situation, but she still continued to attend services with her new man. Finally, the minister brought the situation up in a church service attended by the woman and the man, and she ran out the door in tears and never returned. These are the only details that I know. Was this the correct way to handle this? How would your congregation have handled it? | ||||||

How about the preacher preach/teach how God will chasten them, or anyone who willing does wrong. Now for LEADERS in the church the ones with positions ie. chior members, musicians, ushers, deacons, associate pastors. The pastor of the church should "sit them down" from that position. Until they are able to set the example which is needed to hold the position. Bottom line is the way to discipline them is to just give the "True" word of God and how God will deal with them. Give that Word !! "Eventually" sometimes "Suddenly" the Holy Spirit will convict and change them. | ||||||
