DISCIPLINE IN TRUTH

1 Corinthians 5:1-8

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+5:1-8

Dear Father, who disciplines us for our own good,

Save your church from the sexual perversions that are taking place
in our society. Let us show your love to sinners and show them how
to receive forgiveness. But may we also say, as Jesus said, "Sin no
more!"

Help us to exercise discipline, even to the removal of unrepentant
members, delivering them over to Satan for the destruction of the
flesh so that their spirits may be saved in the day of the Lord
Jesus. Help us not to cover up sin and then boast about our
tolerance! For a little yeast can ferment a whole lump of dough!
Help us remove the leaven of sin, so that our churches may be like
pure unleavened bread.

Since Christ, our passover lamb, has been sacrificed, let us
celebrate the festival, not with the leaven of malice and evil, but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

In the name of Jesus I ask for wisdom in matters of discipline and
for the loving spirit of the Savior himself. Amen.
