Disiplin Gereja Berdasarkan Injil Matius 18:15-17 Dan Implementasinya Dalam gereja Masa Kini
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Often churches are confused when it comes to determining the attitude toward those who sin. One extreme attitude is to let alone the person who falls into sin for fear of making him/her offended. The other extreme attitude is that we hate the sin so much, that we begin to hate the one who did it. The application of discipline in the church is often overlooked in most churches today. Leaders are afraid to discipline members of the church, because it is deemed contrary to the “love of God” and can lead to divisions in the congregation. The implementation of church discipline can allegedly cause the loss of influential and rich members of the congregation. There is also a big misconception about the meaning, purpose, and the nature of church discipline. Many see church discipline as a curse and exclusion rather than love that restores the fellowship of believers. This article aims to explain the correct understanding of the act of and procedures of biblical church discipline based on Matthew 18: 15-17.
