Dietrich Bonhoeffer Is ROCKIN My World!!!

So I picked up The Cost of Discipleship after hearing a lot about it from my brother Don. I finally picked it up from the library at Liberty. I'm not done Chapter 1 and there are TONS of things in it that are incredible! I love it! Nothing like starting your book with a chapter entitled "Cheap Grace" and going on about those who get people to pray the prayer and baptized, but don't encourage the whole idea of discipleship and growth. He wrote this during WW2, yet it is SO TRUE of so many megachurches and churches today. Some quotes:

• Cheap grace means the justification of the sin without the justification of the sinner.
• The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ.
• Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.
• (Grace) is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.
