Throughout this year on the White Horse Inn the hosts have been making the argument that, unlike the law, the gospel is not in us by nature but must be preached into us from the outside. This is why the proclamation of “Christ and him crucified” is the primary task of the Great Commission. But if the gospel is really to be understood as a foreign announcement, is it enough to hear about it in sermons once a week? If the law is in us by nature and our consciences regularly accuse us of sin hour by hour, shouldn’t we learn to preach the gospel to ourselves? On this edition of the program, Michael Horton discusses this issue with Joe Thorn, author of Note To Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself.
