Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church in Germany during the time of Adolf Hitler. He was ultimately arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 for his outspoken views based on God’s Word. He was hanged and martyred for his faith on 9 April 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing. Bonhoeffer coined a term called “Cheap Grace.” He said that Cheap Grace “is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting today for costly grace.” Now, obviously while God’s Grace is a free unmerited gift and a gift of the highest value and price. Sadly, too many that call themselves Christians treat it of something of little value. Bob talks today about how the Western Church has been ineffective because of holding to “Cheap Grace.”
