A Good quote...regarding church discipline.
"Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the family fellowship and with it the whole congregation, the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin." Bonhoeffer, Life Together p. 107.
If you're a people pleaser like myself, you can't truly love people. Regarding discipline, may we have the love to practice it.
