  • Stop Calling Obedience Legalism: Why Church Discipline Still Matters cogs7e33
    In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin confronts the confusion between obedience and legalism. Drawing from Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, he lays out God’s revealed system for church discipline and warns against the cultural influences—feminism, emotionalism, and therapeutic softness—that have led many churches to neglect it. He addresses the creeping entitlement behind objections to “enforcement” and defends the authority of Scripture against modern spiritual subjectivism. Faithfulness demands courage. Obedience is not legalism. Church discipline is not cruelty—it is love in action. This is a wake-up call to churches that have fallen silent out of fear of backlash or discomfort. If the church will not act on what God commands, then it ceases to be the church.📢 Support the Show & Stay Connected:📌 Like & Share on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyandLaBethBrewer📌 Send Bible Questions & Show Topics: [email protected]📌 Support Monthly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/christianitynow📌 Join the Locals Community: https://tonybruin.locals.com#ChristianityNow #TonyBruin #ChurchDiscipline #Legalism #Obedience #Faithfulness #BiblicalTruth #ScriptureIsEnough #SoundDoctrine #RebukeInLove #ChurchPurity #SpiritualCourage #FeminismInChurch #Emotionalism #CulturalMarxism #FalseTeaching #Discipleship #ToughLove #JesusIsLord #BiblicalAuthority #ScriptureAlone #Restoration #Matthew18 #1Corinthians5 #ChurchLeadership #GraceAndTruth #Repentance #SpiritualWarfare #TruthMatters #CogitationsPodcast
