When The Church Tolerates Sin

IS THERE SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CALLING BY A SOFTER NAME THAT IT DESERVES? Today’s message taken from 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 gives the church guidance on how to deal with sin among its members. The Apostle Paul stresses that the main issue is not the sin, but the failure of the church to deal with it honestly.

If ungodly behavior is tolerated, then the sin will spread and infect the whole culture of the church. Love must not refuse to remain silent. The most radical expression of love is to confront the sin with the goal of deliverance and eternal salvation.

Where in your life have you confused kindness with silence and called it grace? Grace is not the absence of truth. It IS truth that sets us free!
