In this episode, Joyce shares her story of involvement in a PCA church in Florida and how her experience of marriage, faith, and community unfolded over more than a decade.

Joyce outlines the church's response, her efforts to seek counseling, the process of pursuing divorce, and the consequences that followed, including church discipline. This episode examines how systems designed for accountability can fail those in crisis and how theological frameworks can impact the choices survivors feel they're allowed to make. An update on Joyce's situation is shared at the end of the episode.Support the show

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 The church is responsible for judging those inside the church.

Main point: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 provides five reasons Christians must lovingly confront unrepentant sin through church discipline to preserve the integrity of the local church and to rescue the sinner's soul.

The internet is a balkanization of the populace: Everybody finds those they want to listen to. It is exceedingly difficult to teach somebody whose principal input in his life is through the internet. With a flesh-and-blood pastor, you at least can see his sins, his wife, and his children. Generally, with a pastor, you can't escape his bad smells, but on the internet, everything and everyone is perfect.The most difficult thing you do in ministry is to call your own congregation to repentance. It is easy to talk about the sins of people outside the church, but exceedingly costly to do so to those within the church. Your job is on the line. A godly church will love you for that. But there are a lot of bad congregations—those congregations that like their ears tickled. We should love our pastors when they make us angry with their helpfulness.Yet, if pastors will preach to their congregations, their congregations will lead the world. It is not until we are challenged to submit to Scripture ourselves that we will be salt and light in the world. If there is going to be a Biblical church, the most important thing to do is to keep its discipline vivified. But we'd much rather spend our time fighting people who are opposed to Christianity. NETTR protects the "constituents," and casts stones at the world.***Mentioned in the episode...From Melville's Moby Dick, chapter 8, "The Pulpit": "What could be more full of meaning?- for the pulpit is ever this earth's foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God's quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow."Fundamentalism and American Culture by George MarsdenC.S. Lewis, from The Last Battle: "By mixing a little truth with it, they had made their lie far stronger."Robert Owen: "All the world is queer, save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin confronts the confusion between obedience and legalism. Drawing from Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, he lays out God's revealed system for church discipline and warns against the cultural influences—feminism, emotionalism, and therapeutic softness—that have led many churches to neglect it. He addresses the creeping entitlement behind objections to “enforcement” and defends the authority of Scripture against modern spiritual subjectivism. Faithfulness demands courage. Obedience is not legalism. Church discipline is not cruelty—it is love in action. This is a wake-up call to churches that have fallen silent out of fear of backlash or discomfort. If the church will not act on what God commands, then it ceases to be the church.

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Unrepentant sin affects the church that Christ died for.

Unhappy, Unheard, Uncorrected: When Churches Fail Women by Telling Them What They Want to Hear

1 Corinthians 5:3-5 The motive of church discipline is the salvation of our souls at the Lord's return.

We pick up where we left off in Matthew, and Jesusin the context of teaching us to be like children, and how God cares for his childrenhe addresses what happens when children in God's family sin against one another. How should that be handled? We dive into the famous "church discipline" passage, which really could be deemed addressing the issue of church family love, when sin is present.

This is message 7 in Gathered in His Name. Matthew 18:15-20 When Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name," He was not speaking of a general prayer meeting, but of the church acting under His authority in matters of discipline. Gathered in His name means carrying out His will with the weight of His presence and power behind us. Both Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5 teach that the church is entrusted with Christ's authority to make binding decisions in judgment, always seeking repentance, restoration, and the purity of the body. This is a solemn responsibility that demands prayer, submission, and reverence, knowing Christ Himself stands behind the church when it acts according to His Word.

The Biblical process of church discipline is an important, but often neglected, process when it comes to dealing with someone who is in unrepentant and significant sin.

1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Most Americans today would not think of their local church as a site for arbitration and would probably be hesitant to bring their property disputes, moral failings, or personal squabbles to their kin and neighbors for judgment. But from the Revolutionary Era through the mid-nineteenth century, many Protestants imbued local churches with immense authority. Through their ritual practice of discipline, churches insisted that brethren refrain from suing each other before "infidels" at local courts and claimed jurisdiction over a range of disputes: not only moral issues such as swearing, drunkenness, and adultery but also matters more typically considered to be under the purview of common law and courts of equity, including disputes over trespass, land, probate, slave warranty, and theft. In Law in American Meetinghouses: Church Discipline and Civil Authority in Kentucky, 1780–1845 (Johns Hopkins UP, 2022), Jeffrey Thomas Perry explores the ways that ordinary Americans--Black and white, enslaved and free--understood and created law in their local communities, uncovering a vibrant marketplace of authority in which church meetinghouses played a central role in maintaining their neighborhoods' social peace. Churches were once prominent sites for the creation of local law and in this period were a primary arena in which civil and religious authority collided and shaped one another. When church discipline failed, the wronged parties often pushed back, and their responses highlight the various forces that ultimately hindered that venue's ability to effectively arbitrate disputes between members. Relying primarily on a deep reading of church records and civil case files, Perry examines how legal transformations, an expanding market economy, and religious controversy led churchgoers to reimagine their congregations' authority. By the 1830s, unable to resolve doctrinal quibbles within the fellowship, church factions turned to state courts to secure control over their meetinghouses, often demanding that judges wade into messy ecclesiastical disputes. Tracking changes in disciplinary rigor in Kentucky Baptist churches from that state's frontier period through 1845, and looking beyond statutes and court decrees, Law in American Meetinghouses is a fresh take on church-state relations. Ultimately, it highlights an oft-forgotten way that Americans subtly repositioned religious institutions alongside state authority. Learn more about your ad choices.
