Why This Blog?

Last year I started a blog called "Planting Lutheran Churches" (plantinglutheranchurches.blogspot.com) to create on on-line forum for exchanging ideas about planting distinctively Lutheran churches. I'm convinced that it continues to serve an important purpose, but recognize that it is a narrow subject matter.

It's critical that we confessing Lutherans tackle the challenges of effectively assessing, understanding, and executing the wider topic of outreach and witness. Rather than expanding the subject matter of "Planting Lutheran Churches" and losing focus on that critical topic, I've set up this blog as a forum for exploring and exchanging ideas, approaches, experiences, and the challenges of sharing the Gospel in a post-Christian culture while remaining faithful to both God's Word and the Lutheran Confessions.

It is my hope that others will join in this discussion through commenting on posts and by submitting articles for posting. There are many and various ways that we can be effective witnesses of Jesus Christ as confessing Lutherans. Let's learn from one another to the glory of our Lord and Savior.
