Joy is fruit of the Spirit creating the realistic Pollyanna Christian response - everything is going to be alright because Jesus has come and will return.

Should We Shun

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018

There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more
