June 23, 2015 ISI Radio Show with Pastor Marc Grimaldi on “The Loving Act of Church Discipline”

Pastor Marc Grimaldi

*TODAY* (TUES., JUNE 23, 2015) on “IRON SHARPENS IRON” Radio, Pastor Marc Grimaldi of Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Long Island, to CHRISARNZEN@GMAIL.COM. Today Pastor Marc discusses the very *unpopular* theme, “THE LOVING ACT of CHURCH *DISCIPLINE*”. I personally owe my life in part to Pastor Marc, his fellow elder Pastor Doug Totter & the saints at Grace Reformed Baptist Church for placing me under Church Discipline when I fell back into unrepentant abuse of alcohol after 18 years of sobriety. Hopefully this interview will help to convey the vital importance of this element of Christian obedience that apparently is grossly neglected, & in fact rarely practiced today within Evangelical Christianity, & that contrary to common misapprehensions this is, in reality, a profound act of Christian *love*. Last but not least, I pray those listening discover that being on the receiving end of Church Discipline need not be viewed as “the end”, but a new beginning.
