Dr. Paulson talks about how monastic life and satisfaction for sin outside of Christ harm not only the gospel but our understanding of the law. To highlight this, Caleb and Dr. Paulson read a letter from Luther to his father confessing his sin and asserting that fathers are a trustworthy source of God's words of command and promise. This letter is both an apology and admonition to children and parents to hear and receive the Word of God from the lips of another.
