Summary
In Luther’s day, the little monk wore a hood. He fasted on the right days, prayed at the right hours, and walked out into the wilderness to be holy. But in our day, the little monk doesn’t wear a hood. He wears work boots. He’s too busy. But he believes exactly what the old monks believed: that what God commanded is ordinary, and ordinary doesn’t count.
