God's Word guides the discipline policies and procedures 在欧文的康考迪亚大学. God's love for us in Christ Jesus enables us to demonstrate His love to students as we say "No" and "Yes" to them. 在他对我们的爱里 God gave us His Law to curb outbursts of inappropriate behavior and to show us what is right and what is wrong. 作为基督徒, God's Law also serves to guide our lives so that our words and actions are pleasing to Him. 最终, rules have been developed at Concordia to protect our students, 保证他们的安全, 并在他们做出选择和决定时给予指导.
Because of sin, all people at times will make unwise choices and decisions. These can and do often have physical, emotional, and social consequences. 当康考迪亚的学生违反规定时, they will experience consequences most often determined by the offense.
But God's Word does not stop with simple rules and consequences. 事实上, the central message of the Bible is "forgiveness won for all sinners won by Jesus on the cross.“学生触犯了法律... students sorry for their inappropriate words and/or actions... 会得到宽恕.
