Church discipline means more than withdrawing fellowship. There are several steps which come before this final resort. Bible class visits phone calls and letters all serve as less severe forms of church discipline.We must do what we can to help one another live as God would have us to live. Sometimes this means we must withdraw fellowship from one of our brethren. This does not mean we are kicking someone out of the church. Nor is this the sole responsibility of the elders to fulfill. And we cannot make excuses not to obey this or any other part of God’s Word.
