Reconciliation (Part 2)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg discusses the topic of reconciliation in a church community. He suggests that a person who has been kicked out of a church for not following the standards upheld by the community should not be condemned, but instead should be approached with zeal and a desire to vindicate them. He explores the concept of denominationalism and suggests that one should not be afraid to speak out against it, as it is a biblical principle to do so. Gregg also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and mercy in reconciling with others, even when they have sinned against us multiple times.
