Talks with Dad Rod

Ted asks about good news when we can't seem to shake sinful, even blasphemous, thoughts. Rod talks about which prevails in the end, Jesus Christ or our sins, the true difficulty we sinners can have with dark thoughts, who we are given to talk to, the confession and absolution service in a Lutheran hymnal, and the comfort we can receive in the promises we are given in Scripture.

Ted asks about the idea of attending a church where the Gospel isn't being preached. Rod talks about what Jesus Christ intends for sinners to receive in His church, what obligation we are under to attend a church where those gifts are not being delivered, and what confusion there is in modern churches regarding law and Gospel.

Ted asks if we as Christians need to get busy in order to gain or maintain our salvation. Rod talks about sanctification versus justification (using a two-column idea), what weight believers' works have regarding their salvation, and how Reformation theology is different than what many churches in America are teaching and preaching.

Ted asks about correcting others when we feel like we are right and they are wrong. Rod talks about being in a church of Germans, and how Germans perceive things, how we sinners are tempted to treat each other, how we Christians (and by extension Jesus Himself) are often perceived when we do that, and what we are actually called to bring to our neighbors.

Ted asks about looking to our own fruit and seeing that it's bad, and what does that mean. Rod talks about how sinners incline to moralism and synergism, how we are natural fruit-measurers who prefer to look to ourselves, and what good news there is for people who struggle with fears that their fruit is revealing that he or she is a 'bad tree', as Jesus described in Matthew 7:16-20 and Luke 6:43.
