Bonhoeffer: Day 36

  • When another Christian falls into obvious sin, an admonition is imperative, because God’s Word demands it.
  • The practice of discipline in the community of faith begins with friends who are close to one another.
  • Nothing can be more cruel than that leniency which abandons others to their sin.
  • Nothing can be more compassionate than that severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.
  • My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Galatians 6:1
  • Restore us again, O G0d of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us. Psalm 85:4
