Guinn v. Church of Christ of Collinsville

I'm so excited to be there! I'm probably going to go down there this weekend, or at least i hope i can. I'm in desperate need of a road trip, and what better place to take a trip to then Harding... right? haha.

Today i found out about this lady that sued the church of Christ. How crazy is that?! Guinn v. Church of Christ of Collinsville. I was reading about it... and it amazed me how much the church of Christ still does that.

Today instead of a "word of the day", its going to be a phrase of the day. The phrase of the day is "tough love". Webster's defines "tough love" as "love or affectionate concern expressed in a stern or unsentimental manner (as through discipline) especially to promote responsible behavior ". I'm not sure if I believe in tough love. I look at scripture and i don't really see Jesus being one to promote tough love. In fact, Jesus gave is love pretty freely. He loves us no matter what. The Church of Christ generally believes in this idea of "Tough love". I think that's the reason why they have "dissfellowship". I've decided to "resign my membership" from central. It's not the right place for me. Their tough love didn't work on me... and it wont.

Below is a link about the court case "Guinn v. Church of Christ of Collinsville"... you should look at it.
