A CHURCH DISCIPLINE STORY
When we have the authority to discipline a wayward member, or Elder or preacher, we should do so, but we must still be careful how we deal with it, because we may very well find ourselves opposing God or getting His way. We might find ourselves becoming wolves rather than sheep.
Years ago an evangelist told of holding a Revival at a church that was in turmoil. The Preacher of the congregation wasn't quite as good as he should have been. People were leaving and the church was struggling.
This evangelist was well known and respected, so a group from the church asked him to come and talk with them. But the moment he stepped into the room he found himself faced with a crowd of very angry people.
They hadn't asked him there to help them ''solve the problem'' - they were looking for someone who would listen to their grievances and assure them that they were RIGHT. As he sized up the situation… this was a not a good thing.
He looked out over the assembled group and asked ''Who is the leader of this group?''
