We sing a song of joy to the Lord for his eternal and righteous reign. He sits enthroned and will establish His kingdom on earth in due time. We await His return with joy and praise.

The Church does this through ecclesiastical courts (deliberative governing bodies) and the appropriate use of discipline.
