Since Scripture calls men to the roles of leadership in the church as pastors and elders, I will never experience what I would imagine would be one of their most difficult tasks: executing biblical, effective church discipline. Clearly church discipline is critical to the life of the church: the Belgic Confession, article 29, lists it as one of three marks of the true church. And yet so few seem to understand how it is supposed to work, even among those called to administer it.
This blog post by Andy Naselli, who shares principles from Jonathan Leeman's Church Discipline, provides great food for thought in this often misunderstood and misapplied area of church life.
