We have to love each other enough, to take the difficult steps of discipline. We need to quit allowing people to misuse Matthew 7:1 and challenge them to take up the whole council of scripture.
Church discipline is more than just confronting the blatant sin, discipline should be occurring in every message, in everything we do as a church. For in essence, all discipline is is teaching. "Teaching them all things which I have commanded you."
Thank Tommy. So we have unity and church discipline (which are connected). I wonder if there are any other thoughts about what doctrine/practice/emphasis is lacking the our churches.

Unity (Eph 4.3, 13; 1 Cor 1.10; 1 Pet 3.8).
Hands down.
Good point. I believe you are right in that it's a major issue in churches today.
Church discipline, if we are to be the pure bride of Christ, we must restore biblical church discipline.
Discipline is not a negative word, but what is needed to maintain order so that we might grow in the image of Christ.
Absolutely Tommy. What are your thoughts on bringing a church back to the place of seeing it as important and necessary?
