246. Five easy ways to become a Pietist (and Dave goes off the rails)

Pietism is a movement or spirit that has its roots in Lutheranism but has spread throughout Protestantism. Our "steps" are a lighthearted journey through Pietism's effects and current temptations you will encounter today.  Dave will go off the rails today, but which one and why?
5 easy ways to become a pietist
Reinvent what is the lifeblood of the church. What’s in your heart pumps harder than the Gospel in Word and Sacrament.
Ain’t no standard like your standard.
Stop testing the Spirits.
You are your own illuminati.
Take your toys and go home (Ban the Fellowship)
5 ways to prevent pietism
Be firmly grounded in Scripture.
Practice doctrinal & moral discipline because that is what you are in Christ, not because it proves anything to you or to anyone else.
Aim at the head and the heart in preaching & teaching and properly distinguish between the law & the gospel as you do so.
Trust the Holy Spirit’s promise to accomplish what he desires through His means. 
Don’t make ad hominem attacks or judge hearts and motivation based on what you see.

UAC Civil Government

We don't want to pour more fuel in the fire that surrounds us today. But, it needs to be said that Christians are called to interact with the government and society in a vastly different way. Today we welcome back Don and discuss the joys of living our vocations as called children of God through Jesus. What does that mean for us in this changing society?

UAC Church

Today, Will talks about Church. What is the mark of the church? What is the difference between the visible church and the invisible church?

Let's talk about the church.

UAC Good Works

Today we talk about how Good Works flow from the faith worked in us by the Holy Spirit. We don't get in depth in examples because...well... we want to leave some of that for you to figure out. But we do discuss article 6 and 20 of the Augsburg Confession. Join us for the conversation.
