The Reverend Dr. Samuel T. Powers
Boston Avenue Methodist Church
Matthew 18: 15-20

“‘If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out the
fault when the two of you are alone. If you are listened to, you have
regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two
others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the
evidence of two or three witnesses. If that person refuses to listen
to them, tell it to the church, and if the offender refuses to listen
even to the church, let such a one be to you as a gentile and a tax
collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound
in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about
anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there
among them.’”
