CHURCH DISCIPLINE!!

"Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed greatly in accord with all abominations of the heathen, and they polluted the house of the Lord which He had hallowed in Jerusalem.... And they burned God's house and broke down Jerusalem..2 Chronicles 36:14-19. Under the reign of Solomon, the place for worshiping God changed from temporary to permanent with the construction of the temple in Jerusalem. The structure may have changed, but God's standard remained. God's work continued to be sacred. Over the passing of time, the temple was ultimately destroyed because God's people compromised His standards. God's work is sacred. So when a person engaged in ministry repeatedly defies God's high standards, that individual is to be removed. The consequence of violating God's sacred work, that which is performed for God's glory and the body's edification, is severe-disqualification from ministry and leadership- because His work bears His mark and reflects His reputation. Because this is true, God sets the boundaries in which His work is to be accomplished. The standards are high and Holy. That's why Paul warned Timothy and Titus to treat with care any accusations against those who minister and in leadership but NOT FALTER WHEN CONFRONTATION WAS NECESSARY. Politics, fighting for Leadership and Chair, groupism, mismanagement of resources, sexual scandals etc. has no place in His kingdom. Cleansing is warranted. Hope this answers your questions about church discipline in our ethnic churches in India and abroad.
