I was raised a Lutheran and have since become a Christian by reading my bible and find the truth in Christ.

This is completely off the topic of the cost of Catholic schools, but I found this a curious statement, considering that I became a Lutheran decades after becoming a Christian--and I am still a Christian :-) I became a Lutheran, in part because I found Luther's teachings to be as close to the truth found in Scripture as anyone's, and much closer than most. What do you find in Lutheran teaching that diverges from the truth of Christ, and the truths found in His Word? It is not my intention to try to revert you--I am happy when anyone finds Christ, regardless of the Christian church--I am just wondering...

I found the words were in the Lutheran church but the Spirit was pretty much gone. I also think the communion statements are off. I recently went to the Lutheran church with my niece while visiting her and the service was very superficial. I belong to a small group that meet on Saturday night. We arrive anywhere from 5:00 to 6:00 and leave around 11:00. We watch a teaching video together, usually Chuck Missler, and go through a book of the bible.
We are discussing all aspects of the bible and enjoying the fellowship. We also are determined to be friends and help one another as we can. There are only about 25 all together. If you are in the Lutheran church, I urge you to also have a home fellowship with other members to engage in the true spirit of being in Christ.
