Church Discipline: Mark of a True Church

Todd Pruitt
Nov 8, 2009
From Al Mohler: The decline of church discipline is perhaps the most visible failure of the contemporary church. No longer concerned with maintaining purity of confession or lifestyle, the contemporary church sees itself as a voluntary association of autonomous members, with minimal moral...

In 2008 Westminster Seminary crafted an excellent statement of "Affirmations and Denials" regarding the Scriptures. I encourage you to take time to read it. Denominations, Presbyteries, and individual congregations would do well to consider adopting WTS's "Affirmations and Denials" for their own...

"Where your object is to secure your audience, rather than your Gospel, preaching is sure to suffer... "The orator, speaking generally, has for his business to make real and urgent the present world and its crises, the preacher a world unseen, and the whole crisis of the two worlds...The only...
