….seems to describe the after-affects of gluttony pretty well. One might joke about a church revival of repentance from gluttony involving a guillotine….just for the enormous beer potluck pot blessing guts we see instead of our heads, I hope.

Seriously, read and appreciated the article. They make a good point that if indeed we are practicing Matthew 18:15-19 correctly, we will only have a good idea of motives as the process proceeds, and sometimes not at all. Judging motives can be very, very dangerous business.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
