Psalm 131

Discipling and DiscipliningThere is a strange dichotomy in the language of the contemporary church. Much

is said and written about the important function of discipling new Christians,

while at the same time the function of church discipline has almost vanished.

Today, discipline is a word used to refer to the instruction and nurture of thebeliever. It does not usually carry the connotation of ecclesiastical censure

or punishment.

In one sense, this modern version of discipling is linked to the New Testament

model. The term disciple in the New Testament means learner. The disciples

of Jesus were students who enrolled in Jesus peripatetic rabbinic school. They

addressed Him as Rabbi or Teacher. To follow Jesus involved literally

walking around behind Him as He instructed them (the word peripatetic comes

from the Greek word peripateo, which means to walk).

The New Testament community was forbearing and patient with its members,

embracing a love that covered a multitude of sins. But in the New Testament,church discipleship also involved discipline. Part of apostolic nurture was seen

in rebuke and admonition. The church had various levels or degrees of such

discipline, ranging from the mild rebuke to the ultimate step

of excommunication.http://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/discipling-and-disciplining/
