In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, it was necessary for him to reprimand a certain member of the congregation. By extension, he was asking the congregation to also reprimand this individual. But the story doesn't stop there. Along with reprimands and discipline, must come forgiveness. In this letter, Paul is asking for the congregation to extend forgiveness to the one that needed discipline.
Just like with our kids, we can't always be telling others about what they are doing wrong. And we certainly can't refuse to give them another chance when they have sought repentance and changed their ways. Of course, we continue to be vigilant against sin in the church, but the situation is rectified, we must forgive and love the believer.
Is there anyone in your life that you are holding a grudge against when you should be forgiving?

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
