Mission Statement

The Wittenberg Trail (WT) represents the ancient Church for a post-modern world. The WT also provides a solid foundation for the shifting sands of post-modernism and a refuge from the ahistorical, non-creedal, shallow and commercial trends in today’s "pop-church" culture.

The WT is a Christ-Centered, Law and Gospel focused, Confessional Pan- Lutheran Social Network.

The WT holds that the Word of God is and should remain the sole rule and norm of all doctrine. The WT provides a forum for people who are exploring and/or confessing the Christian faith as correctly explained in the 1580 Book of Concord and the Unaltered Augsburg Confession. The WT holds that these Confessions are in complete doctrinal agreement with the written Word of God and are the “basis, rule, and norm indicating how all doctrines should be judged in conformity with the Word of God” (Formula of Concord).

The WT has been designed to be a place to ask questions and discuss issues in a genuine spirit of brotherly love. It is not a place for extended discussions of internal synod matters* or debates on issues already resolved by the Word of God.

* Please see Community Guidelines for more info.

Please help keep the WT a "Snark Free Zone" and follow "Weedon's Ten Commandments for Discussion of the Faith on the Net".

The opinions expressed by members of this online community are not necessarily the opinions of the owners/administrators of the Wittenberg Trail.

Chad Thompson replied to Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier's discussion 'Bonhoeffer'

I think to see him as confusing law and gospel is to take some things he says out of context and miss the point he is trying to make. From what I can recall (it's been awhile since I've read Cost of Discipleship) the law/gospel issue seemed to be...
