We often hear the term 'church discipline' and many negative and uncomfortable images come to mind, most of which are images completely fabricated from a poor understanding of the biblical concept. If we are to change these incorrect lines of thought, we have to understand how biblically sound church discipline actually begins far in advance of excommunication or any similar actions. Pay close attention as Cody shows us the importance of being in close relationship with those in the body of Christ and exhorting one another in the Lord as a means of preventing the creep of habitual sin.

The Unpardonable Sin. Most Christians have faced the question surrounding this uncomfortable topic with the question being; "can I or have I committed this sin?" It's indeed a scary thought that you might have committed a sin so heinous that it precludes forgiveness. But open your bibles with Cody to chapter 3 of Mark and be encouraged as we learn the truth about this sin. Also, don't miss the admonition from Christ to put our spiritual family in it's rightful place in our relationships with others.

Christ's appointment of his apostles was an important phase of His ministry here on earth and the choices he made leave significant lessons for us today. Uneducated men were chosen for the most vital work of spreading the Gospel to those who had not heard it. Thus our first point of discussion: plain knowledge of God does not equal a relationship with him. Christ chose these men in spite of their lack of qualifications and we see how Peter, James, John and others came to serve the Kingdom in mighty ways because of their close relationship with Jesus. We too can have that closeness with Christ as we pursue Him through His word.
