Law and Gospel (5)
  1. We must be careful in how we use Bible verses to establish Scriptural truth both to others and to ourselves.
  2. Holding to Jesus’ teaching while denying His divinity presents a host of complications that make it difficult to take one and leave the other.
  3. Like the Pharisees, as well-meaning, contemporary Christians we too can often add fences to God’s Law.
  4. As a bass player, when I listen to music, I listen for what the bassist is doing. But, when I listen to music in my 2004 Honda Civic I have a problem: only one of the four speakers works.
  5. We sinners share a common problem when it comes to Jesus’ parables. We read them with an eye to our own righteousness.
