Jimmy and Joe sit down to talk about leadership, and what what it means to leave a legacy (in a legitimate way). Opening up to Hebrews 13:7 the guys think through why and how good leaders should be imitable, and how we should all strive to be examples to those we serve.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
Joe and Jimmy are back at the cigar shop walking through the 1689 Confession and dial in on chapter 3 paragraphs 4 through 6.

The guys received an email from a listener asking questions about the doctrine of God's Decree as it relates to the God's sovereignty over sin. How can God cause all things to work together for his purpose and yet not be the author of sin? How do we make sense of those passages where God seems to change his mind?

The guys are back on the 1689 Confession and cover chapter 3 paragraphs 2 and 3. What is the sovereign choice of God to save individuals based upon? What's the difference between predestination and reprobation? What is the goal of his decree? And how should these doctrines impact our piety? Plus, a neighbor with a leaf blower drives Joe nuts while recording this episode.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
The guys are back in the cigar shop, this time talking about service and sacrifice in the local church. What does it mean to “serve” one another in the church?

Joe and Jimmy are talking about God's Decree from the 1689 3.1. What is the decree of God? If God has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass does that make him the author of sin? Does it make us all robots? And what good does this doctrine do for our faith?

The guys are hanging out at the cigar shop (that's what the background noise is talking about a frustrating article that got a lot of play this week. Men Prefer Debt-Free Virgins Without Tattoos got a lot of play on the interwebs and created some good conversations. Joe and Jimmy thought the article downplayed redemption, idolized marriage, and implied that women are generally dumb and helpless. What do Christian men find attractive in a woman? Are all women called to marriage? How do Christians, even those in the Reformed tradition, often misunderstand women in the church? How does the church neglect women in the church? Lets us know what you think about all this, and if the guys were too hard on the author.

Today the guys sit down to (re)record and episode on the 1689 Chapter 2, paragraph 3, regarding the doctrine of the Trinity. How important is this doctrine? Why does the 1689 use the word “subsistence,” instead of “person”? How do the guys feel about Trinitarian analogies? How is the doctrine of the Trinity the “the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on Him”? Plus, Jimmy has a really bad day, and Joe “bah, bah, bah's” the Scripture.

Jimmy and Joe post up in the office to talk through an article on Ed Stetzer's blog, The Exchange, about why people leave one church for another. New Research: Churchgoers Stick Around for Theology, Not Music or Preachers by Bob (Santana) Smietana is very interesting. Be sure to check it out. What percentage of people in a local church are considering moving on? What are the primary issues the move people to leave a church and seek out another? The research included in this article states that most people who are considering leaving a church do so because “the church changed its doctrine.” Plus, this week the guys are reading The Preacher's Catechism by Lewis Allen.

Joe and Jimmy open up the 1689 Confession and focus on Chapter 2 paragraph 2. How is it true that God does not need us, or derive glory from us? What is the glory of God, and if we do not add to God's glory, how can we glorify him? Why can God do whatever he wants to and for us, and why do we push back against high views of God like this? Plus, Joe has a breakout, and Jimmy refuses to pick people up from the airport. Have you checked out our new site, the1689confession.com?
