'Concord Matters' (Because Truth Matters)

I can't wait for later this morning!

I know we already alerted you to this, but today is the day that the "Concord Matters" Book of Concord Weekly Reading Group launches.



"Concord Matters" Premieres On Saturday!


"Concord Matters," a new radio/internet program taking listeners through the Book of Concord, premieres tomorrow, Saturday, November 30, 10:00-11:00 a.m. (Central), live on KFUO, AM 850 in the St. Louis area, and streaming online worldwide at kfuoam.org.

The four rotating co-hosts -- Rod Zwonitzer, Craig Donofrio, Charles Henrickson, and Joshua Scheer -- all will be on hand for the first broadcast, along with guest Tim Rossow. Listeners will be invited to participate with their comments and questions. The programs will be rebroadcast on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. (Central), and available anytime in KFUO’s on-demand archives.

"Concord Matters" will be a great opportunity for you to dig into the Book of Concord, the Lutheran Confessions. For the first broadcast, we will be discussing the Preface to the Christian Book of Concord. Over the months to come, we will be going over Luther’s Small and Large Catechisms, the Augsburg Confession, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, and the Formula of Concord.


In a Lutheran Layman's terms, and to reiterate what's already been said by others, "Concord Matters" because truth matters.

Yes, it does! Concord, harmony, in the truth of God’s Word, in the church’s doctrine and practice -- this matters a lot!

[NOTE: As you know, I am a newly converted Confessional Lutheran who recently escaped American Evangelicalism. That being said, please contact me ASAP if you believe that any of my "old beliefs" seem to have crept their way into any of the material you see published here, and especially if any of the content is not consistent with Lutheran doctrine -- in other words, if it's not consistent with God's Word -- so that I can correct those errors immediately and not lead any of His little ones astray. Thank you in advance for your time and help. Grace and peace to you and yours!]

  3. "Concord" = "Unity In The Faith" (1 Corinthians 1)

    "Concord" = 'With The Heart/With The Heart Together"

    "Concord" = "In Agreement With A Confession of Faith"

    "Concord" = "Shared Belief In What Is True And What Is False"

    "Concord" = "Concordia" = "Harmony/Agreement In Doctrine And Compatible Practice" (Psalm 133:1)

    "What's better? Concord or discord?"

  4. Book of Concord: 50 years AFTER the Augsburg Confession

    Interesting to note that the Book of Concord's Preface begins with a political statement in an attempt to place Lutheran doctrine in the real world and as a Biblical response to Roman Catholicism in a statement of truth to the world.

Thank you for visiting A Lutheran Layman! Please feel free to leave a comment or a question since we do not exercise censorship. We've seen a similar policy with other blogs and it's worth repeating: Please act as if you're a guest in my home, and we'll get along just fine. I think anyone would agree that the kind of back-and-forth that is characteristic of blogs/chat forums and social media is becoming tiresome for all of us. Still, we should confess, edify, and love (and contend and defend when needed). Bottom line? Search the Scriptures! Apply Acts 17:11 to anything and everything you find here and, if you do happen to disagree with something you find here (which is certainly ok), or think I'm "irresponsible" and "wrong" for writing it, then please refute my position by supporting yours with Scripture and/or the Confessions. I don't think that's an unreasonable request, especially for those who identify themselves as "Christians" here, right? Besides, Proverbs 27:17 tells us "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" and 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." If you have an opinion that's great, I welcome it, but try to support it using God's Word. I mean, if the goal here is to help us all arrive at the truth of God's Word (myself included), then it should be easy to follow through on this one simple request (I'm talking to all you "Anonymous" visitors out there). Grace and peace to you and yours!
