When one hurts, we all hurt. All the members should have the same care
concerning one another. And remember, this is not about me.

It's about the body of Christ. He's the head, and we are the members of
his body, and we all hurt together. We all minister to one another.

You cannot take Christ from his body. You cannot have Christ without his
body. Seeing Christ in his fullness with the body changes the way I look
at sin.

If I believe what I preach, I've got to be that God's going to chasten
me if I continue in my sin. If I indulge in adulterous flirtation or
pornography or any kind of lust, I know he's got to deal with me because
he doesn't want to lose me. He's got to judge me and correct me and
chasten me as a loving father, lest I be given over to my sin.
