“We use Matthew 18 like Miranda rights. If one Christian fails to follow the process perfectly, the whole case is thrown out. Kyrie Eleison! As though the pot can’t call the kettle black, or as though the pot’s blackness somehow excused the blackness of the kettle. The point, for our Lord, is not that we should look the other way, but that both pot and kettle need repentance and grace.”
-David H. Petersen, author of Thy Kingdom Come
