Law and Gospel

Pastor Tom Baker discusses theological distinctions between Law & Gospel on different topics, including weekly lectionary, hymns, daily news, and current events. He responds to listener emails each Friday on “Open Mic Friday.”

In a live episode of Law & Gospel on August 15, 2024, Pastor Baker shared that he had recently experienced medical concerns. We were informed on August 26 that he will not be returning to host Law & Gospel. We are thankful that he chose to broadcast his program on KFUO for many years.

 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 2 Corinthians 3:1-5 ESV
