Pastor Benefits from Learning the Law/Gospel Distinction

Pastor Tim Blackmon writes:

Good morning,

I hope this finds you well. I just finished Covenant, Justification and Pastoral Ministry and was blown away by your chapter on Law and Gospel. In 13 years of pastoral ministry, I’ve not seen this emphasized and I’ve personally paid scant attention to this most crucial distinction. Just wanted to say thanks for work well done!

Tim

  1. Ditto. This afternoon I’m preaching on Lord’s Day 2 of the Catechism using this theme and division:

    Distinguishing Law and Gospel

    We’ll consider the:

    1. Definitions
    2. Differences
    3. Similarities

    CJPM was helpful as I prepared the sermon.
