Here they go again on their own! Going down the only road they’ve ever known! Jimmy and Joe are back and now they’re talking worship from the 1689 Confession, Chapter 22. What does general revelation have to do with a conversation on worship? How can we know what pleases God in worship? And in what way does Scripture “regulate” our worship of God? Plus, Joe and Michelle Williams are Instagram buddies.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! On this holiday episode of Doctrine and Devotion the guys talk through how to best handle criticism. As Christians we will face criticism from outside and inside the church. As leaders we sign up for it. But how do we receive criticism without becoming defensive, and perhaps missing something we need to hear? Joe and Jimmy offer 7 steps to receiving criticism to help you benefit from the feedback. Seven Steps to Receiving Criticism 1. Be quick to hear 2. Be slow to speak 3. Be slow to become angry 4. Be Calm, and Gentle 5. Be Ready to Repent 6. Be Ready to Rebuke 7. Be Secure in Christ And be sure to check out Paul Maxwell’s take on handling a certain kind of critic.

Joe and Jimmy are back and wind up talking about the popular worship song, “Reckless Love,” and how hey think about modern song choices for corporate worship. Does a song's author determine it's value and use in the church? If Bethel is out does that mean Horatio Spafford (It Is Well With My Soul) out as well? What are some of the important considerations that go into choosing worship songs for the local church?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
