@hoodmanblind – …
@hoodmanblind – Amen. and love speaks the truth for the benefit of those objects of its affection. Jesus sometimes had to resort to admonition or even rebuke.

Usually, people who …
Usually, people who come to the point that they need church discipline, already messed it up in the area of their family-life.. So, in most cases the family is already hurting, not to mention embarrased by the fact that their own kin is in that situation. So, other than forgiveness, maybe it helps if they make clear terms about the discipline needed for that person in their family, too. If they love each other, their going to have to correct each other.

This preaching is very interesting.
one of the churches I’ve been to has fallen because the pastor didn’t put his foot down and kick out some of the people that were causing a lot of gossip and fighting in the church. Only if he took control of his church nothing bad would have ever happened…

Hmm… well, I live with a professing Christian who lives like the world. Someone help me pray for him, that his heart will be opened to the Truth? His name’s Steve.

Yes share in love.. …
Yes share in love… but do not expect to be accepted, not because they do not accept you, but because they don’t accept the Gospel. When men here what Christ said in Luke 13:3 – Repent or Perish. they all to easily back-away.

A similar situation happened to me , and mi mother kicked me out of her house and I never came again to live whith her.Later she said I was on a cult , because I was on a reformed church.This year will be three years since that happened.Thanks to God that he always comforted me.

Share with them the cure in love and acceptance. Jesus came to show us that loves us and will take all of our cancer from us, because none of us are without cancer. We are saved by the Cure, not by the Doctor who thinks he is too good to associatate with us other people who have Cancer.

(
What if you told him about the cure for the cancer that is causing him to lash out at others & fights with the Dr.s. Purchased the cure for him. brought it to him, read the directions to him, separated them and laid them out into easy to understand measurements, but all he does is scream at you” NO YOU! YOU ARE THE CANCER!!!” and tried to convince everyone that you are a carrier of the disease.
February 18th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Yes… and true …
Yes… and true love is not allow those who live in deception to continue to do such. If you were a doctor and a patient came and had cancer what would you do? Not tell him and let him go on and live in his cancer and die? or would you warn him of his condition and plead with him to take the cure?

We are told to love without measure. Grace, Sweet Grace. Not Hate, Not Rejection, but Love.

Tim, allow me to …
Tim, allow me to correct you,1 Cor, 5 applies to ALL who claim to be a Christian, even our biological family. Recall Jesus saying, who is my mother, brother, or sister? He concluded he that DO the will of my father is my mother, brother, & sister. Also “we” are the Church so this applies to “us” rather in a building or not, we are still the Church. If you treat your disobedient Christian mom different then what Paul said in Cor. then you are in sin(respecter persons) our family r they that obey

Excommunication is …
Excommunication is for those in the church, not those outside it. Read the end of Titus 3 and the words of Jesus in Matthew 18 to start then do a topical study of excommunication and see what you find.

I think if you love anyone so much that their good opinion of you becomes more important than where you stand with Christ, then you’re going to fall. You have to be prepared to be hated by all men (including family) for His name’s sake. You have to love Christ first.

I don’t know. …
I don’t know. Another question is, who is harder to love? But we are called on to honour our parents. We shouldn’t agree with their sin, but we can respect them, while following Jonathon’s example, and ask God to give us grace for each day’s burdens. My grandparents looked after my grandmother’s crazy alchoholic abusive father, without condoning his wickedness, and apparently he broke down in tears toward the end of his life repenting of how he treated them. For all I know, he’s in heaven now.

1 Peter 3 please read
I wouldn’t have any family if I did this, we all have different beliefs. I think with the girl and her mom, she should keep working on her mom… and keep God’s commandments, it’s the respectful thing to do!

Indeed, it is a very good example, thanks for pointing that out brother, it is of tremendous help knowing that we can relate to those who did it.

Living with the lost is hard, especially when you know God is right there but they just won’t admit it.
Plus you never know when and if your prayers will be answered so we have to keep praying for them I believe.
God bless
