The church wanted to address the subject of church discipline, but they wanted to do it in just one day. I spoke at the Bible study hour, the worship hour, and the evening service. There is no way you can cover the subject thoroughly in three hours. But that is all the time we had. I have been wondering for a long time now what good could come out of this age in which we live where people are so involved in other things in life you cannot get them involved in church.
Gospel meetings are a thing of the past with many churches.
Others are having fewer of them, while still other churches have trimmed such meetings from seven and five to three days. The same Sunday I was involved speaking on church discipline, another church I am associated with had another man for a day to speak on one subject. So this idea is not brand new, and others will follow suit. I ask what good can come out of our capsulated thinking. It isn't just our spiritual life alone that's involved.
