Any sin is a sin that ought to be corrected.

If any member of the Christian Fellowship, sins in violating God's standard in any way,

the process immediately goes into action.

And it should be immediate.

The issue is holiness.

Any sin.

Thank you. His Holiness, any sin. Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Today, John continues looking at an issue that, frankly, has a direct impact on all your

relationships with Christians, and as a result on the

purity of the church, consider this. When you sin, what effect does that have on your church? And when

someone in your church sins, what should you do? What's your responsibility before God? Well,

just know that the phrase, it's none of your business,

doesn't really apply to life in the church. And when it comes to helping others deal with sin,

the only way to know that you're not overstepping or understepping your bounds is to follow God's

blueprint. John is looking at that blueprint from Matthew chapter 18 in his series, My Brother's

Keeper. And here's John with today's lesson. Matthew chapter 18. This is a passage that deals with

discipline among God's people. Now when I use the word discipline, I want simply to remind you that discipline is not

a negative word, it is a positive word.

It is a word about training.

It is a word not unrelated to the word discipling.
