"Biblical Church Discipline and the Christian Witness" is a wake-up call for the church and every professing Christian to return to old-time Christianity, marked by disciplined spirituality that brings glory to God. The book explores the biblical concept and practice of discipline and its impact on the Christian witness as proof producers for the kingdom of God. Reading through the Bible, it is evident that the men and women who God used to change lives and impact their generation lived disciplined lives. The activities of the Nascent Church of the First Century, as chronicled in the book of Acts, showcased a body of believers that were spiritual and disciplined and impacted their society. John Wesley and the early Methodists whose spirituality impacted their generation positively were disciplined Christians whose character made the Methodism of their time a movement and force to reckon with in England. Unfortunately, the church faces a moral crisis within its ranks, and the loss of biblical discipline is the loss of the vitality and effectiveness of the Christian witness. The contemporary church is in danger of that, and this is what the book seeks to draw attention to. Individuals can achieve a disciplined Christian life through proper child training, loving disciplinary actions, and training in righteousness. True biblical discipline, whether training in righteousness or punishment to encourage and ensure righteous living, can only be fruitful and glorifying in the spirit of love. Love should be the basis for every discipline within the body of Christ. This book is for every Christian seeking to understand the importance of discipline in their Christian journey and its impact on their witness to society. It is also for the church, which must take a strong stand against evil and prioritize Christian discipleship and discipline over church membership. If we want to win society for Christ, we must first subject ourselves to the training of God's ordinances, the church, and civil society and live a life that is an open Bible for people to read.
