09.01.2022 Let me start by saying that you know me, and I know you. You know that I am not a hateful person and that I am simply doing what I believe to be right, and I know the same about you. The fact that we disagree on this issue does not change the fact that I love you deeply, and hopefully it does not change your love for me either. I know and understand where you are coming from, I really do. It makes absolute sense to me that you believe two adults who love each other should hav...Continue reading

03.01.2022 TRAGEDY OF LOSING A LOVED ONE TO THE DEVIL Talking with my son last night and the topic of church discipline was raised by him. He said to me the need to pra...ctice discipline is even clearer than the teaching of alcohol but so many continue to ignore it, I don’t get it. Bless his heart! One of the greatest tragedies is when we lose a loved one to the world. That is, when we see a loved one, a family member or a close friend turn away from God and remain unrepentant in their sin. We feel so torn, like a failure, like a part of us has been taken away. The saddest word in the realm of spiritual matters is lost. It is the saddest because of the precious soul that is in that state. The greatest and ultimate tragedy is to spend eternity away from God. As a Christian and a preacher of some time, the matter of disrespect and neglect of church discipline has brought so much sorrow to me, to our family and to the church. It is something that almost every congregation struggles with and it has caused many souls to be turned away from the Lord. The tragedy is compromise and fellowship with the unrepentant erring sinners. Before you conclude, he does not understand , please know that I do understand that relationships are important to us all, and we want to be with those we love, that is a given! It seems that when it comes to the need to discipline, that many allow their emotions to dictate. I heard a preacher declare publicly that he would stay true to the Bible teaching on church discipline if their child ever turned from God. He firmly stated he would put a cross in the garden to show his child was dead to him until he repented. The opposite was true however! Nobody wants to have to withdraw from another whom they love. There is not on faithful child of God who would ever wish such things. But the truth is, if we really love them, we need to withdraw. There is a need for the sake of the sinner, the church and the hope of heaven that we need to obey God. 2 THESSALONIANS 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. This is a very clear verse to understand. We can see that when there is disobedience to the word of God, there is a need to practice withdrawal. Adding to the understanding... 2 THESSALONIANS 3:14 -15 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. The command is clearly one of no social company with the sinning individual. There is no idea of treating him harshly but rather remember he is a brother who is lost and needing of warning. For many, this is all well and good until it comes too close to home. The preachers who profess to honour church discipline, yet they compromise when their own children are withdrawn from. This has caused so much added hardship to congregations, where the members of the church have honoured the withdrawal of their own family but them see the preacher compromise his own. One preacher stated there is a different law for family! If we love our family we will honour God in all of our choices. Should a family member fall away and refuse to repent, then you as their father, mother, uncle, aunty, brother, sister etc. are the greatest influence and hope for their return. If you allow the sin to go without consequences, you are not being a good watchman for their soul. MATTHEW 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 1 CORINTHIANS 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 CORINTHIANS 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. The opposite is true and the one who neglects withdrawal from family or friends will actually place their own soul and the soul of the unrepentant in greater danger. Instead of showing their is consequence for sin, they say we will embrace you regardless of your decisions. What about the state of their soul? What if they die in that state? As long as people compromise with the erring ones, fail to honour church discipline, the message will not be as effective as it should be. Sympathising and accomodating for the sin , instead of standing against and encouraging repentance is not caring for the soul of the lost one. The most common problem that has ever been a bone of contention in the church is the need to withdraw from the disorderly. It has caused difficulties from those who want to compromise. Normally the preacher who stands becomes the enemy and is regarded as extreme or legalistic by his progressive brethren. If we trust God, if we truly believe His ways work every time; let us stand in the hope that church discipline will always bring the right results. When we inaction God’s word in love, prayer and context, we trust let not my will but Thy will be done. My heart goes out there emphatically for those who have loved ones that have turned from the Lord. Plead with them to turn, seek to study and help them. What a great sorrow to see them lost! Let us seek to win back our loved ones, not by compromise but by obeying the Lord in all things. PSALM 119:2-6 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes. 6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
