'Church Discipline Should Be Compassionate.'
2 Corinthians 2:6-8.
a) 2 Corinthians 2:6. Punishment by the Church Majority is enough.
b) 2 Corinthians 2:6. This punishment is only for the one found guilty - not just a suspect.
c) 2 Corinthians 2:7. Now, after the punishment, forgive the person.
d) 2 Corinthians 2:7. Now, after the punishment console the person.
e) 2 Corinthians 2:7. It is not good for the punished person to be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
f) 2 Corinthians 2:8. The Church needs to reaffirm their love for the punished person.

This is almost a New Year - 2016. When we see the news on the television, or read it in the newspaper, most of the news that we read is not good news. Newspapers and TV channels thrive on bad news, or news about bad people. We should never forget that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News - and it is good news for the whole World.
