Soft Antinomianism: The problem in Lutheran Preaching (Rev. Mark P. Surburg)

Rev. Surburg will address problems in current Lutheran preaching. Lutheran preaching today is plagued by an inability, and even a refusal, to exhort, admonish and teach in sermons about how Christians are to live because of what Christ has done for us. This does not reflect what is found in Scripture, in the Lutheran Confessions, or in Luther.
