Church Discipline

discipline to help
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:20)
This is probably the most misused verse to do with Jesus presence in the whole bible. Lets look at it in context first, so we know what it means:

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

Ultimately the gospel is what matters. We all just need to quit trying to say this is right and that is wrong and be at peace with each other. People keep drawing too many lines in the sand… Forget the peripheral and concentrate on what really matters: the gospel.
Is this right? I’ve also been told the following: “Stop telling us what to do and how to live,” They say.
