How (NOT) to treat a fellow believer
This passage is often interpreted by many evangelical Christians to mean that a Christian who sins and is unwilling to repent must undergo the prescribed steps, culminating in being brought before the church. If they still refuse to repent, they are to be treated as a pagan or tax collector. This is followed by the verse stating that whatever is bound on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven, concluding with the assertion that if two or three on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them in heaven.

Thoughts on the Death of Billy Graham
So Billy Graham died. What an impact this man has had on my life. But not in the sense most would think. LOVE, is not what came to my mind when I read of Billy Graham's passing. My mind was filled with sadness, longing, and loneliness. A feeling of being totally and utterly alone...and so empty. I have often wondered if that is how I feel when thinking of Billy Graham, how did his own children feel about a father virtually absent from their lives? Were the sacrifices truly worth it? I just don't know. I have learned long ago not to believe the public pictures.

The Mask
What if it were true? I wish people would just give that a thought: What if what I am saying is actually true? What if there really is another person behind that nice mask of smiles, friendly talks, and prayers… the pastor mask? I wouldn’t be able to believe it either had I not lived it.
