Church discipline is not a “feel good” sort of thing. Neither the one being disciplined nor the one doing the discipline feels good about it … at least they shouldn’t.

The Objective for Church Discipline

Make Holiness the Objective in Church Discipline because He is Holy

The purpose of disciplining is not to make people feel good but rather to help them become good … specifically, to become holy as God is holy. God’s discipline of His children provides a good example:

God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (Heb. 12:10-11)

Until we make holiness the objective, we will be reticent to discipline when we should.

The Steering the Church Toward Christ-like Character Leadership Guide also includes four truths about this objective that church leaders need to grasp.
