Exposing works of darkness (Ephesians 5:8-14) — when to involve church vs. police

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 24) 00:32:22 – 00:33:55

Michael Francisco has a family member claiming to be Christian who sells food with vulgar messages and is supplying alcohol to minors through her business.

For in-church matters: address privately first, then bring church leaders to confront for restoration (Matthew 18 pattern). The goal is repentance and restoration. However, supplying alcohol to minors is illegal. In that case Mike says he is open to simply calling the police. The illegal nature of the conduct moves it beyond a church discipline matter into civil law territory.
