The guys are back on the 1689, this time wrapping up Chapter 3 on God's Decree by discussing the final paragraph. Why must we be careful with the doctrines of God’s decree and unconditional election? How do these truths relate to the Christian’s assurance of salvation? And how should all of this lead us to a healthy “praise, reverence, and admiration of God, and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation”? Plus, high people are not funny, and the guys argue over “bread and butter” vs “meat and potatoes”.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Today Jimmy and Joe talk about why some people in local churches “fall through the cracks.” Why do some people struggle to “plug in,” develop relationships, and feel like they are a real part of the church? What is a church’s responsibility to lead people into community, and how do we commonly fail? What can people who feel disconnected do to press in where they are feeling left out?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

The guys turn around and go back to the subject of Christian liberty to answer some questions sent in by listeners. What happens to Christian liberty when one’s school or employer requires adherence to a covenant that requires abstinence from things that Scripture itself does not forbid. What about loop holes?
