If you ask many Christians today, they have no idea what Lutheran theology is--none, nada, zilch. <br /><br />You can't find Lutheran books on theology in a Christian bookstore; I don't know of any mainstream Christian music artist that is Lutheran; I don't know of one good site solely devoted to Lutheran apologetics; I don't know of any commercial Christian station that broadcasts Issues, Etc. Lutherans have disappeared into the weeds and are the best kept secret in Christendom!Bill S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-31393255190666725332010-08-06T10:55:39.533-05:002010-08-06T10:55:39.533-05:00This raises a troubling question: If our church is...This raises a troubling question: If our church is no longer equipping us with answers to the important questions, why do we think anyone else should join it? Does it make sense for us to try to "grow the church" when we don't know any use for its doctrine & liturgy?RobbieFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112535005437118728noreply@blogger.com
