You might be a Lutheran if...

If you've seen Jeff Foxworthy on TV, you know he does a routine called, "You might be a redneck it..."  Some time ago a pastor in Louisiana did a take-off on Foxworthy and the results were pretty humorous.  Check out what he wrote:


You might be a Lutheran if...
You think that fine dining is attending a church pot-luck dinner
You do not have the word "change" in your vocabulary
You think personal evangelism means you need to have more children
You are upset that a visitor is sitting in "your pew"
You know who Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther was
You love it when church meetings last longer than two hours

But you know you are a Lutheran if...
You confess you are a sinner
You know that Jesus died for you and forgave all your sins
You know that you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus
You rejoice daily that you are a baptized child of God
You believe Scripture is your only source of doctrine
You love the hymn "A Mighty Fortress is our God"
You desire to receive God's gift of Holy Communion at every opportunity
You know you will be in heaven forever because of faith in Jesus' life, death and resurrection
