2 Corinthians 2:5-11

Anyone who has raised a family or led a congregation knows that from time to time, discipline is required.  We (children and congregants) are all sinners who need timely correction.  And in order for correction to be effective, it needs to be balanced with love.  Love and discipline.  Both are needed.  Alone they won't accomplish the task of calling wayward folks back on track.
