Many non-sacramental Christians perceive us sacramental Christians as legalistic and weak in faith. What is behind this and how should we make our defense? Direction of theology; mingling of justification and sanctification; Law and Gospel distinguished; God gifting or humans acting in obedience?; Does the depravity of original sin allow decision to believe and be baptized without God’s grace in the means of grace?

Pr. Matt Richard continues discussing his paper, “Why the Doctrine of Predestination Matters.” What happens when we try to reconcile the seemingly contradictory doctrines of 1) original sin with 2) God’s justification of the sinner and 3) God’s eternal election? Why should we keep these doctrines “in tension” according to God’s Word? Is the teaching of predestination a threatening or a comforting doctrine?

Pr. Matt Richard enters the “Throwdown” ring to discuss his paper, “Why the Doctrine of Predestination Matters.” Is the doctrine of predestination simply some useless wrangling among theologians, or does it really mean something for every Christian? What happened during the 19th century when various Lutheran church bodies debated this doctrine? How can you best answer the age-old question(s), “Why are some saved and not others?”

Lutheran altars are for Lutheran communicants only.” Listen as he takes on Samuel Simon Schmucker and Benjamin Kurtz. You won’t want to miss Pr. Richard’s modern adaptation of “The Galesburg Rule”!
