Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have 

made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."  - Psalm 50:5

"In confession the break-through to community takes place.  Sin demands to have a man by himself.  it withdraws him from the community.  The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him, and the more deeply he becomes involved in it, the more disastrous is his isolation."  - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together c. 78
