Anchor Of Hope Christian Reformed Church

Love and forgiveness are of vital importance in the process of discipline. Remember 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (4) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant (5) or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; (6) it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. (7) Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (8) Love never ends... If someone we have disciplined comes to repentance, then we welcome him back to full fellowship within the Body of Christ. The limb is reattached with much rejoicing and tender care and healing.
