(1Co 5:11) “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.” The reputation of the church which directly represents our Lord, and the desire to fellowship with Him, is to be more important to us than anything else. Instead, we have elevated love for the individual over our love for God.
