In Visible Fellowship

Good post about a new book - http://lisanotes.blogspot.ca/2012/04/in-visible-fellowship.html

quote from the post:

The reason God gives us discernment
about a weakness or a fault in another believer
is so we will bring the issue before God,
praying on behalf of our brother or sister.

…If we spent as much time in intercessory prayer
for others as we do complaining about others,
how would that change the life of our community?

How would that change us?

- JON WALKER, In Visible Fellowship

and

Intercession means no more than to bring
our brother into the presence of God,
to see him under the Cross of Jesus
as a poor human being and sinner in need of grace.

Then everything in him that repels us falls away;
we see him in all his destitution and need.

His need and his sin become so heavy and oppressive
that we feel them as our own,
and we can do nothing else but pray.
– DIETRICH BONHOEFFER
