Our congregations, pastors, workers, and schools confess the entire Book of Concord because it is in accord with the Word of God. The Latin word, “Quia,” expresses a commitment to not only believe that the Lutheran Confessions are in agreement with the inerrant Word, but also to teach, preach, and administer the sacraments according to these confessions. The Lutheran Confessions bring clarity to the Word of God for the sake of Truth and a clear conscience to all who hear the Word.

Rev. Dr. Larry Rast, professor of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to discuss our understanding of a Quia Confessional Subscription.
