Chaos

Following the Word is MUCH more difficult than talking about it.

BIG surprise...

I don't know how many times I've advocated for church discipline as described in Matthew 18-
1. Go one-on-one to the person who's in the wrong, if they don't care/care to resolve the person, then...
2. Bring in a third party to mediate/work through the issue, if that doesn't work..
3. Go before the church...

that's the gist of it.

did I mention that's much more difficult to do than to say it's what you should do?

Wow... these last few days have been agony, but resolution was found and it's been a beautiful mess of redemption and reconciliation.

But, wow... was it tough!
