Book Synopsis A Biblical Analysis of Corrective Church Discipline: God's Loving Plan to Rescue and Restore Believers by : Dr. Todd M. Fink
Download or read book A Biblical Analysis of Corrective Church Discipline: God's Loving Plan to Rescue and Restore Believers written by Dr. Todd M. Fink and published by Selah Book Press. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrective church discipline is probably the most difficult task of a church and its leaders. It’s often time-consuming, ugly, has fallout, and usually involves criticism. Therefore, rather than deal with the difficulties of implementing church discipline, we often look for ways to get around it, so we don’t have to deal with the problems it might entail. This might be an easier approach, but it’s not the biblical approach. This book tackles this important doctrine head-on and seeks to let God say what He intended to say about church discipline. After all, He is the one who spoke about it in the first place.

Book Synopsis Love that Rescues by : Eric J. Bargerhuff
Download or read book Love that Rescues written by Eric J. Bargerhuff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age where "church discipline" has fallen out of favor in the context of many churches, Eric Bargerhuff calls the church to a deeper understanding of its nature and purpose as an expression of God's "fatherly love" towards his people. As a biblically mandated activity instituted by Christ himself in Matthew 18, church discipline is an essential practice of any faithful church that is committed to sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Tackling some of the false notions and assumptions surrounding church discipline, Bargerhuff sets forth a historical, biblical, theological, and practical position that centers its identity and purpose on a proper understanding of the cross of Christ. Since the punitive wrath of God was poured out for sin on the cross of Jesus Christ (a penal substitutionary atonement), it is therefore necessary to reject the notion that church discipline is "punishment," but rather it should be seen as God's hand of forgiveness and grace extended for the purpose of restoring, reconciling, and rescuing one of his own, a "sheep that has gone astray." It is to be regarded as God's love in the actions of a forgiven and forgiving community.
Book Synopsis Biblical Discipleship Study Guide: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity by : Dr. Todd M. Fink
Download or read book Biblical Discipleship Study Guide: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity written by Dr. Todd M. Fink and published by Selah Book Press. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 16 Week Study Guide is exceptionally practical and life-transforming. It is taken from the main book Biblical Discipleship: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity. However, it is a “stand-alone” book study that is designed to be used on its own. Its purpose is to take the 14 core principles of discipleship and put them into practice. Today, we have many ways of defining success in life. Some define it as being a sports hero, others as being wealthy, others as being popular and well-liked, and still others as being happy. How does God define success? He defines it as being spiritually mature!
Book Synopsis That His Spirit May Be Saved by : Jeremy M. Kimble
Download or read book That His Spirit May Be Saved written by Jeremy M. Kimble and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age of tolerance and moral laxity, the implementation of church discipline is often looked upon with disdain, fear, or incredulousness. However, there is clear biblical precedent for the practice of discipline within a local church context. While many are aware of several passages in Scripture that speak to this reality, in this work, Jeremy Kimble calls readers to observe clear biblical mandates, historic precedent, as well as theological and practical implications for the practice of church discipline. Seeking to venture past the pragmatic discussions surrounding church discipline, Kimble articulates for his readers a lucid theological presentation of this topic. He argues that discipline serves as a warning of potential end-time judgment. As such, discipline also serves as a means to the sinner's repentance and the perseverance of the saints within that local church. This theological understanding of discipline calls pastors and congregations to faithfulness. There is a seriousness to church discipline that cannot be ignored, and likewise discipline must also be viewed as a mercy, knowing it is a means to repentance and enduring in one's faith.

Book excerpt: This is a handbook for pastors, elders, and all Christians who want to see how Scripture presents the process of discipline that should operate in the Christian community. It was written in response to the various concerns that threaten to tear apart marriages, families, friendships, and congregations--concerns that call for a biblical approach to discipline that can heal fractures, restore right relationship, and ensure the health of the church. Developed around the five corrective steps found especially in Matthew 18:15-17, this book helps church leaders deal with the sorts of problems that require the church’s disciplinary response. Charting a course that combines discernment with appropriate action, this simple, readable handbook can have a profound effect on the community of believers.

Book Synopsis Coming to Grips with God's Discipline of the Believer by : Erwin W. Lutzer

This book was released on 1991-03-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When something goes wrong we are prone to ask, "What did I do to deserve this?" We know that God disciplines all His children, but how do we recognize His discipline? And why are some people more severely chastised than others? Dr. Lutzer points out three kinds of discipline. Educative discipline is given to strengthen us. Preventative discipline is brought into our lives to keep us from sin. And retributive discipline occurs when we are directly chastened for specific sins. In this eBooklet, Dr. Lutzer treats the subject of God's discipline from a thorough study of Scripture and applies biblical principles to real-life experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking Together: A Congregational Reflection on Biblical Church Discipline is a study of the biblical concept of church discipline. It seeks to show that church discipline, rightly understood, is a ministry of mercy and grace that will bless churches that return to it. Walking Together reveals that church discipline was a ministry that was very important to earlier believers, and that the modern church has abandoned it to her own detriment. It is a clarion call for individuals and churches to come back to this vital but long-neglected aspect of congregational and personal life. By doing so, churches can be healed and interpersonal relationships can be restored.

Book Synopsis The Thirteenth Discipline by : Lionel M. Moriah
Download or read book The Thirteenth Discipline written by Lionel M. Moriah and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most critical issue for healthy, growing churches is member care or life together, in keeping with the biblical emphasis on allalon--"one another." Member care demands that believers be passionately concerned for one another's spiritual welfare and physical and social well-being. This mutual care may be expressed in different ways, but they are always to be directed to the needs of the members of the body of Christ. That is the approach taken by the author of this book, which focuses on what may be construed as a negative subject--discipline. The hope is that a careful reading will reveal that Christian discipline, seen holistically, may be a most rewarding ministry, one that brings many benefits to healthy, growing churches as it nurtures loving relationships among people who care enough to speak the truth with love, as Jesus did.

Book Synopsis The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love (Foreword by Mark Dever) by : Jonathan Leeman
Download or read book The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love (Foreword by Mark Dever) written by Jonathan Leeman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the world speaks of "love," it often means unconditional acceptance. Many churches have adopted this mind-set in their practice of membership and discipline-if they have not done away with such structures entirely. "Yet God's love and God's gospel are different than what the world expects," writes Jonathan Leeman. They're centered in his character, which draws a clear boundary between what is holy and what is not. It's this line that the local church should represent in its member practices, because the careful exercise of such authority "is God's means for guarding the gospel, marking off a people, and thereby defining his love for the world." So how should churches receive and dismiss members? How should Christians view their submission to the church? Are there dangers in such submission? The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love responds with biblical, theological, and practical guidance-from both corporate and individual perspectives. It's a resource that will help pastors and their congregations upend worldly conceptions and recover a biblical understanding and practice of church authority.
