Rev. John Lukomski, retired LCMS pastor and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Corinthians 5. “Deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.” The sexually immoral should be kicked out, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6. But how is that loving?  Like us, the Corinthians were proud of themselves for being so tolerant and open-minded. Church discipline however is not done with a holier-than-thou scoff: it’s carried out in public mourning that the community has sinned and must now repent together. Like the “Prodigal Son,” the prayer is that the selfish and self-destructive ways of the world would bring the brother back in repentance. We follow the lead of Christ, who was kind, loving, and even self-sacrificial towards those outside the faith.
