Sorry, I just *had* to make that joke

I don’t see the blogosphere doing that except maybe getting info. The “poison cool-aide” in my tradition is we are justified by faith so we don’t have to do anything. What Bonhoeffer calls cheap Grace. We are called in our baptism to be Christ’s disciples. Disciples do disciplines. Try talking to your Lutheran friends about doing disciplines, “Is that works rightousness?” they scream!!! Especially fasting. I tell people that if you are dealing with Lutherans just rip that one out of the book.
