What Are the Motives for Church Discipline?
Motive Matrix
 The Attitudes of a Right Motivation
- Humility - …each one looking to yourself, so that you too
will not be tempted (Gal 6:1).
- Gentleness - Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass,
you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness
(Gal 6:1).
- Sobriety - In the name of the Lord Jesus, when you are assembled,
and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, I have decided
to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh... (1Cor 5:4-5).
- Familial Concern - Do not associate with him, in order that
he may feel ashamed. Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as
a brother (2Thess 3:15).
