Cheap Grace

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.

~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Hi Randi - this quote reminds me of some of Randy Alcorn's work in his book The Grace and Truth Paradox.
