This year I really feel like I have come full circle because we are going to be talking about our Lutheran Identity. When we settled on a curriculum, we started with Lutheran Identity, then we had New Testament and then Old Testament.
So why do we cover Lutheran Identity? I think it is good to see what lens we look at as we view the Bible and our faith. Lutheran Identity speaks to several important things like how we view the nature of God to be; how do we use the Bible; what is this thing called Grace about; and how do we use our faith in our daily lives?
These are important questions, because faith is more than a once a week thing. It is more than a church thing. Faith is about the way we live our daily lives. Faith is about the decisions we make each and every day. Faith is about the values that are important to us and how we spend our time, talent and treasure.
This is why we spend a year on this stuff because it is important. I hope you enjoy this unit as much as I do. As always please feel to email me with questions or concerns.
