Is It Loving to Practice Church Discipline?

"I eagerly commend this series."
-R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? The church's message is about grace, we reason, while discipline feels like the opposite of grace. In fact, Jesus taught his disciples to practice church discipline because it's one way congregations grow in holiness and imitate God's own love. In this audiobook, Jonathan Leeman presents biblical answers to questions about the nature and application of church discipline, conveying that Scripture presents church discipline as both loving and necessary for yielding life, health, holiness, and growth in the local church body.
