- Church discipline has largely been neglected.
- By a failure to develop cultures of discipleship…
- By neglecting the practice of both formal and visible discipline.
- This neglect has led to an incorrigible and uncorrectable church culture (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:6).
- Divorce rates and cohabitation.
- General immorality.
- Doctrinal impurity.
- This neglect has contributed to impotency both in terms of evangelism and broader cultural influence.
- This neglect is due to misunderstandings of both the purpose, practice, and produce of discipline (e.g. “shunning,” “unloving,” “punitive,” “harsh,”, etc.).
