Episode notes

Lutheran theology has a very good theology of the third use of the law. But what we want to be careful of is how it plays out in preaching, says Mike Schulder. "I think sometimes third use preaching becomes an excuse to not preach Christ," he adds.

We are no strangers to the category of “law,” but how is God’s law different from man-made laws and rituals? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss the importance of the law-gospel distinction and dig into the definition of the law and its impact on God’s people today.
