Why is the church so powerless today? One reason is prayerlessness. But another reason is a failure to practice church discipline. The message of the text is that God will not stand with us and will not be with us anymore unless we remove the wicked on from our midst. If we fail to do that -- for all the excuses that are usually given -- our churches will be leavened. We will have no power from God to help us stand against our enemies. We will be a laughingstock and a byword.

Thank you for this sermon If only the Church would take discipline seriously. I don’t have a church home as every one is full of adulterers, unrepentent adultery, that is even called by those in the congregation blessed by God. I stand on the words of Jesus as to divorce remarriage if your spouse still lives being adultery. Churches do not teach according to Jesus word. The leaven of homosexual marriage is the same leaven that entered the church concerning divorce remarriage adultery. Divorce remarriage is sin, not blessed, if you see and think it is blessed maybe you would think to ask by what means.

Convicting and helpful Thank you Pastor Knapp for your faithful preaching. As a preacher, I was convicted by it and much encouraged to deal with personal and church sins. God bless the church over which the Lord has made you an overseer.
