Church Discipline and The Wall Street Journal

Filed under: Uncategorized — Reggie @ 12:22 pm

Several friends at Heritage have commented on an article posted in The Wall Street Journal concerning church discipline.  The article emphasizes one particular case of discipline in an effort to speak ill of the practice.  It also mentions several other instances where discipline should have or could have taken place, but it only minimizes these incidents.  Clearly, The Wall Street Journal is against church discipline but, then again, that is to be expected. 

A good response to the article was offered to The Wall Street Journal. 

Dr. Al Mohler of Southern Seminary has also commented on the subject of church discipline. 

The issue of church discipline is certainly on the rise in the American church.  Then again, the American church is the weak link in Christianity around the world.  Purity always produces power, and discipline produces a pure church. 

“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”  ~Hebrews 12:6

  1. Pastor, I have been hearing good things about your church. I am from Fall Branch, TN, but now live in Floyds Knobs, IN. I just recently graduated from Southern, and I am proud to hear of your church and the work you are all doing in the JohnsonCity area. It seems that there is so much confusion with ETSU being in your back yard. I am an ETSU grad from 03. I found many of my classes troubling, but challenging. May God richly bless and keep you brother!
