Tolerance in the Church

Do we tolerate too much in the Church today? Does the Biblical description of the New Testament Church portray it as one who sweeps sin under the rug or as a Church that deals with sin through discipline and confrontation? I know that its not popular these days to confront the issue of sin when it is running rampant throughout the body of Christ, but does that excuse us from doing it? The Bible makes no exceptions when it tells us to deal with sin in the body. Sure we can preach it from the pulpit, but thats not really singling anyone out now is it. If you didn't realize, the Bible is offensive and calls for sinners to repent. Its one thing to allow a non-christian, that has a loose lifestyle,  to attend a worship service and not confront them, but its another issue to treat a "member" of the church the same way. Unfortunately, we've become dangerously tolerant of sin. Maybe its because we're calloused towards it in our own lives or maybe its because we want to leave it to someone else like the pastor or other ministers in the church. Churches in America would look a great deal different today if we followed the Matthew 18 model of church discipline. What would it look like and how would it affect us to actually call an unrepentant sinner to repentance? What would be the outcome of going to your brother and sister in Christ to tell them, in love, that they are in sin and need to repent and move on? Well, it would look like the Bible's description of a Church. There are churches now that are allowing homosexuals to be the pastors of their Churches. What a dangerously audacious notion that directly defies the word of God. Below is an interview with Al Mohler (president of Southern Seminary) and some homosexual leaders of other churches. Please watch and consider the position that we are in as the Church today.
