Confession and Community

By Dietrich BonhoefferSource: Dietrich Bonhoeffer - Life Together (Public Domain)65 words

He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone. It may be that Christians, notwithstanding corporate worship, common prayer, and all their fellowship in service, may still be left to their loneliness. The final breakthrough to fellowship does not occur because, though they have fellowship with one another as believers and as devout people, they do not have fellowship as the undevout, as sinners.
