The guys talk about conflict in the church, and praying for other churches, all from Chapter 26 of the 1689 Confession. How should we not react to a problem we have with another member in the church?

Today Joe and Jimmy answer some listener email. What do the guys think about church leaders who are protesting state orders regarding the quarantine? When does our not meeting together as local churches in the current crisis become “forsaking” the assembly?

Happy quarantine! On this episode Jimmy and Joe talk through the benefits of belonging to a local church from the 1689 Confession. Where do we see church “membership” in Scripture? What are the “privileges” of membership? What’s a “censure,” and why does a local church practice church discipline?

Joe and Jimmy have another conversation about The Lord’s Supper in connection with the article we just released call, Virtual Communion. Because the context in which the Lord’s Supper was observed in the first century was when local churches gathered together, and because of the warnings and actions of God against those who partake of the ordinance in an unworthy manner, and because of God’s charge to leaders to exercise oversight and discipline during the observance of this ordinance, it is only when the local church is assembled, with the oversight of the elders, that we can properly observe this ordinance. Plus, the guys answer some related questions that came in via social media.
