The guys discuss the 1689 Confession, Chapter 22, paragraph 3 on prayer in corporate worship. What is prayer? What forms should prayer take in the public assembly? And the guys recommend some of their favorite books on prayer like, The Valley of Vision, John Bunyan’s treatise on Prayer, The Bible and the Closet by Watson and Lee, and Praying the Bible by Don Whitney. Plus, Jimmy teaches Joe to speak Canadia. Our Sponsor All this month, Doctrine and Devotion is sponsored by Media Gratiae, a small nonprofit ministry that makes incredible documentaries and multimedia Bible studies. This week we want to tell you about their project, Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically multimedia Bible Study. This is a 12-week, plug-and-play multimedia Bible study on the character of God, applying who God is to what we do as Christians, and deals with subjects like worship, service, evangelism, holiness, and the dangers of pragmatism and false conversion. The filmmakers travel to England, Scotland, Wales, and New England to incorporate the witness of Church History through some significant figures your church needs to know about including Edwards, Rutherford, and even the anti-hero, Charles Finney! Features contributions from Paul Washer, Richard Owen Roberts, Conrad Mbewe, Anthony Mathenia, and more. The study is made up of a 13 DVD set, and a corresponding daily devotional workbook that each person in the study will need their own copy of. The entire first week of the study is available for free, for your evaluation, at https://mediagratiae.org/collections/behold-your-god-rethinking-god-biblically/products/behold-your-god-13-dvd-setSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

The guys are back on “the communion of the saints” and the 1689 Confession. What is it that we are called to do in the act of fellowship/communion, and with whom do we have such communion? What is a “saint by profession,” and is the 1689 anti-communism?

The guys sit down with Dr. Ed Stetzer to talk about church health and revitalization. What are the basic symptoms of an unhealthy church, and what are the first steps in moving the church back toward biblical vitality? Ed has some great words for us all. And one of those words is “jackwagon.” Be sure to follow Ed on Twitter at @edstetzer. Who is Ed Stetzer? Don't pretend you don't know. Everybody knows that Ed holds the distinguished Billy Graham Chair of Church, Mission, and Evangelism at Wheaton College and serves as Executive Director of the Billy Graham Center.
