QUOTE - J.A. Motyer
“Trouble can give rise to an attitude of surly rebellion against God and the abandonment of spiritual practices. Equally, times of ease and affluence beget complacency, laziness and the assumption that we are able of ourselves to cope with life, and God is forgotten.”

“He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.”
“He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone.”
QUOTE - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“In confession there takes place a breakthrough to community. Sin wants to be alone with people. It takes them away from the community. The more lonely people become, the more destructive the power of sin over them. The more deeply they become entangled in it, the more unholy is their loneliness. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of what is left unsaid sin poisons the whole being of a person.”

QUOTE - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Why is it easier for us to acknowledge our sins before God than before another believer? God is holy and without sin, a just judge of evil, and an enemy of all evil. But another Christian is sinful, as we are, knowing from personal experience the secret night of sin. Should we not find it easier to go to one another than to the holy God?”

QUOTE - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Nothing can be more cruel than the leniency that abandons others to their sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe reprimand which calls another Christian in one’s community back from the path of sin.”
