Dearly beloved in Christ,

Greetings again in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
“Know then your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God
disciplines you :Dt.8.5.

God disciplines His children. Heb: 12.10. Discipline is an important part of
Christian life. We must be disciplined in our personal level (.1cor.9: 27) Our
indiscipline will affect others life. In the church, we are a community. We must be
disciplined with in the church. It is possible as a result of God at work in the lives
of individual believers. St. Mathew.ch.18, disciples asked Jesus` who will be great
in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said disciplined your life with the qualities of the
Kingdom.of God.The disciple of God is to be disciplined.

Jesus said humble before God just like a child 18:1-4. . Those who have
humility, will be blessed. If the spirit God works in us, we will be humble
each other.

Frank honesty. The spiritual atmosphere of a congregation must be
healthy if church discipline is to work well .In Mt.18 15: see where there
has been conflict, discipline is to begin with a private interview. Then
try to reconcile in the presence of two or three witnesses. Then only the
matter should come in to the church.Our love and personal sharing will
make a good effect.

United prayer.18:.19,20. Gather together in prayer and be strengthened .
Join in the worship and prayers as much as we can.

A forgiving spirit.18.21-27.Our Father is forgiving to us. We must forgive.
A repent brother or sister should be forgiven and treated with affection.
Severity and lack of sympathy may drive a sinner to desperation and place
the individual under the grip of Satan.(2cor.2:7)In Gala.6.1 says”.Brothers
if some one is caught in sin…. Restore him gently.” In 2 thes.3;14,15. If
any one does not obey our word in this epistle,not that person and do not
keep company with him,that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as
an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

With prayer and best wishes

May God bless us

Lovingly Yours
