Tant, Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 It is no
accident that we are depicted as the family of God. We are
spiritually brothers and sisters in the household of God... This is
no superficial relationship of people who get together on Sundays
for a good time. God decreed that these ties of the spiritual
family are deeper even than the cherished, but fleshly, parent
child relationship (Mat. 10:34-39).

Tant, Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 J.D. Tant,
Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 But in order to have
such family solidarity, there must be discipline. To have unifying
love at the expense of purity in faith and life is an exercise in
self-destruction. The forces of love and discipline are not
mutually antagonistic, but rather complementary. When you think of
the environment of the physical family, you understand that where
either of these elements is missing you have a flawed structure. So
it is with the Lord s family - the church. Dealing with those who

Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 But we have extremist
on two fronts who seemingly stress one almost to the exclusion of
the other. Some cry for love, tolerance, fellowship and
brotherhood, stressing unity no matter how deviant in life or
doctrine one may become. On the other hand are the professional
purifiers who go from place to place and person to person seeking
witches whom they may condemn to the flames ignited within their
own crucibles of self-righteous indignation. Dealing with those who

parents to strike a happy balance within the family sphere so that
firm discipline and loving acceptance can work together in bringing
children to fruitful maturity. That fruitful maturity is the same
goal we have for the spiritual man, and the Bible teaches the same
recipe of firm discipline coupled with loving obedience. Dealing

Tant, Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 J.D. Tant,
Ancient Landmarks, Vol. XI, No. 4, April 1976 In fact, these two
cannot properly exist without the other. Separation, discipline, is
good and proper, but if it is not separation from the motivation of
love, it deteriorates into the works of true flesh - - factions,
divisions, parties. And while unity is most desired, there is that
which is worse than division - unity and compromise with error
either in faith and morals. Balance is needed, and God s word
certainly gives the formula for success. Dealing with those who are

discipline - stern, but gentle - strong, but tender hearted,
opposing sin but merciful and encouraging the sinner to repent, but

of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels
always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For the Son
of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12 What do you think?
If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he
not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one
that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to
you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine
that did not go astray. Matthew 18:10-21 (NKJV) 10 "Take heed that

him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have

word may be established.' 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell
