Cultural pressures and influences are so intrusive and inwardly destabilizing that Christian spirituality becomes a forlorn pursuit unless the individual is embodied in a structure that gives corporate expression to private spirituality, in which the lone thread is woven into a fabric. In this sense, the local church creates its own Christian culture, its own set of values and ways of looking at the world, its own hopes and dreams, which, because they are corporately held and practiced, become normative. Unfortunately, too much church experience is not like this at all. Too often it amounts to little more than a glancing encounter with others, for a brief period of time, in which some inspirational stories are shared and hands are shaken. If members cannot give more of themselves to the churches than this, however difficult this may be, and if churches will ask for nothing more than this, then Christian spirituality will be that much more easily eroded by the torrents of modernity.

God in the Wasteland
There are at bottom only two types of theology, glory theology and cross theology...the theology of the cross is an offensive theology...it attacks what we usually consider the best in our religion...the pretension that comes with our good works...the word of the cross kills and makes alive.
Gerhard O. Forde
On Being a Theologian of the Cross
Where is the church? What is the church? Roman Catholics say that the church is where the bishop is. He constitutes the church. The left wing answers by giving their testimony — “It’s in my heart, in my experience, my conversion.” Luther proposed that the church is defined by the act of confessing, the actual act of declaring Christ and handing over the goods. Where the goods are being handed over, the actual handing over of Christ Jesus and His benefits to sinners — wherever that happens there is the church. The word of the gospel is what constitutes the church.
James Nestingen
Luther Seminary
The Word of God has this character, that it is made known and comes when man is most desperate over everything… it comes to the weak and the oppressed, to those in need. These also receive it in such a way that all human boasting vanishes and nothing is credited to our own strength and energies, but all to God alone.
Martin Luther
