THAT IS TO SAY.

As with anything,there is opposition. It is never easy. Having Christ in your heart,wanting to please him,never has been easy. Just because you accept Him and follow him as a disciple does not guarantee an easy smooth life. As a matter of fact we must expect push back. We must remember the words of a famous football coach who once said"the price of success is high,but so are the rewards".Comprehending we are sinners and knowing we must accept Christ as our vehicle back into acceptance to The Heavenly Father we then begin to notice everyone is not in agreement with us. Some push back,and are actually very rude to us at times.Should we lay hold on such people with our hands? We know the Bible teaches against that.But are we to be cowards,weaklings in the face of adversity? Lets see. How about the master himself? Matthew chapter 21:verse 11 thru 14. Jesus went into the temple(church)saw the activities going on,and became upset enough the He over turned tables,and began to tell those inside what His temple was and that it was not a den of thieves.WOW.Notice what transpired in the church as soon as it was cleared out.MIRACLES i say.

Look At Acts CHAPTER 13:verses 1 thru 12. Hear we see the story of the apostle Paul,and a group of men.As these men were fasting and ministering to the Lord,the Holy Ghost said separate me Barnabas and Saul(PAUL) for a work He had for them to do.The work was to preach,but there was more.They were apposed by a false prophet.A false prophet that was with a man who wanted to hear the Word of God.The false prophet wanted to hinder the man from faith in Christ.Oh then look what Paul did ,as he was filled with The Holy Spirit.Paul used words such as full of all mischief,child of the devil,thou enemy of all righteousness,accused him of perverting Gods right ways. Then He placed upon this man blindness,immediately,for a season he could not see the sun.This man went about searching for someone to lead Him by the Hand.It was after this that the man wanting to hear the word of God became a believer. He was saved.Many lesson from this.God can remove hindrances in a mighty way,in order that people wanting to hear the word of God can do so.Two things i notice here. I notice that in church discipline we must be led by the Holy Spirit.Then i notice that God will intervene and His house ,his word will be respected and not return void.When church discipline is enacted,we must be sure the intent is to redeem the member.That is to say...i hearts love the disciplined one/s and we wish them to stop fighting and join us in brotherly love.This scripture,nor my writing excludes me.My prayer: Heavenly Father,show us continually,thru your word....How to conduct our church business.AMEN.
