Churches do ministry best when working together in unity. In the real world, there are divisive people who "rock the boat" and threaten any chance for unity. What options are there for a church, when a divisive person is present? The Book of Titus lays out a plan for how to handle such as person. Give one warning and then a second. If the dissension continues, you move on. What a wonderful plan. Here is the passage...
"But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned."
