Sin does so much damage to the Church……….
As I have said before we could start a whole section of crimes committed by the Church in America. Christians chasing away people from the Church! An unbelieving world loves to see Christians sin! Maybe the best words my Mom and Daddy gave me was, “Dwayne, behave yourself!” What does it mean that there will be a great falling away before Christ returns (2 Thessalonians 2:3)?

In these verses, Paul emphasizes the restoration and unity that should follow discipline, based on the grace and mercy of God in Christ; the implicit warning is against man-made limits to forgiveness, personal vendettas, disunity, and excessive punishment.
