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
