Joe and Jimmy take some time to introduce you to John Bunyan, the baptist puritan who became a gifted preacher and the most famous and best selling author in England. You have probably heard of, and maybe even read his classic, The Pilgrim’s Progress. But Bunyan’s story is one of dramatic conversion, righteous suffering, and faithful ministry.

The guys take on paragraph 4 of Chapter 22 of the 1689 Confession on prayer and worship. What does it mean to pray for all things “lawful,” according the will of God? We are called to pray for all men, living and those yet to be born, but we cannot pray for or to the dead. Plus, Jimmy gets in trouble with his wife, and Joe felt tiny at church today. Our Sponsor All this month, our show is being sponsored by Media Gratiae, a small nonprofit ministry that makes incredible documentaries and multimedia Bible studies. This week we want to tell you about a project, the Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty multimedia Bible Study. This is a 12-week multimedia Bible study on the character of God, which is more of a study of Theology Proper, going deep with one week per attribute considered. Media Gratiae goes to England, Scotland, and New England to incorporate the witness of Church History through some significant figures your church needs to know about (6 people including Knox, Bunyan, Newton, 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-the-weight-of-majesty For all the show notes and a photo of Joe's shortness visit http://www.doctrineanddevotion.com/podcast/1689224Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
