This is the first episode Jimmy and Joe have recorded since Joe got back from South Africa. So they guys catch up and Jimmy presses Joe on why he was in a South African police station. Then they jump into chapter 5, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the 1689 Confession on God's Providence. If divine providence is “God's ordering all outcomes and events of things, after the counsel of his will, to his own glory” (Watson), what does this mean for the ideas of chance, determinism, and God's responsibility over sin? And for the 10% of you who don't like it, you can skip the banter and get straight to the topic at the 6:28 mark.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Joe and Jimmy discuss the 1689 Confession, Chapter 20, paragraph 3 and the spread of the gospel in different places and times and why it seems to take root and bear fruit in some areas and not others. Plus, Joe is heckled at church and Jimmy is believed to be Joe’s grandson. Our Sponsor Dwell is the most innovative Audio Bible app available.
