Law and Gospel (124)
  1. Has the modern world taken too strong a dose of the gospel as its inheritance from the Reformation?
  2. The gospel does not proclaim the results of our practical reasoning about things we experience, but the horror of God crucified for our sins and at our hands.
  3. Christians are free to engage in political matters, even as Christians, but the church as an institution has a responsibility not to lobby for specific political ends, however worthy and just they might be.
  4. What we notice less often is that this same fear wonders about both the efficacy of the Gospel and the Law.
