    Law and Gospel? Let us grab our whiteboard. This has been a long time coming, anyways. Gillespie and Riley talk about what happens when we fail to distinguish God's word of Law from Gospel. More talk about why grammar matters. Finally, we follow a rabbit trail to it's theological conclusion and explain why we always default to law talk rather than Gospel talk when discussing God's will.
