The purpose of the Discussion Board forums is to help you better understand the classical disciplines of the Christian Faith.

Parameters: For your initial thread, you will compose a thread of at least 300-350 words. Your initial thread must have at least two references, with one reference being one of the course textbooks. You will then compose 3 replies of 150-200 words each. Two of your replies should be to other classmates, while the third reply should be to your initial thread. (If there is no comment on your thread, then your third post can be on someone elses.) Each reply must have at least two references. Professional writing is expected in all posts and current Turabian formatting should be followed.

Initial Thread Prompt: There are three parts to your initial thread:

• Summarize two of the four disciplines from this weeks reading (Confession, Worship, Guidance, and Celebration) in 1-2 sentences for each discipline.
• Explain the biblical and theological rationale for one of the practices that you summarized.
• Identify one way that you can implement this discipline into your life.

Replies Prompt: Critically assess your classmates explanation of the biblical and theological rationale. For example, what are the strengths of their explanation? What are the weaknesses? What support can be added to their case?

The aim of these replies is to help each other better understand the classical disciplines and the biblical and theological rationale for each one. By engaging with each others statements, we can encourage each other to better practice that is grounded more firmly in the theological tradition.

Your initial thread is due by 11:59 p.m. (CT) on Thursday of Module/Week 3. Your 3 replies are due by 11:59 p.m. (CT) on Sunday of Module/Week 3.
