Joe and Jimmy talk about pastors, money, and influence in light of the ongoing James MacDonald and Harvest Bible Chapel scandal. Before they get into it all they attempt to give some context and offer an apology. In this episode the guys consider how pastors have access to money in the church, and ask, “What principles should govern a minister’s access to and use of church funds?” What about the practice of giving gifts to others or benevolence? Aside from professional and company policies, how do we decide whether we should accept or a reject a gift from someone?

What is necessary to observe the Lord’s Supper? Before it’s over the guys come back and answer a follow up question for more clarity. Note: this was done live so the sound is different.

The 1689 on God's Law (19.4-5)
The guys are back in The 1689 Confession, Chapter 19 paragraphs 4 and 5, discussing the Law of God. This time Joe and Jimmy hit the civil laws of the Old Covenant and go back to the moral law as perpetually blinding for the church, even under the New Covenant. Plus, does Jimmy fly in First Class while his wife and kids fly among the commoners? To go deeper into the moral, civil, and ceremonial divisions of the law, pick up From the Finger of God: The Biblical and Theological Basis for the Threefold Division of the Law by Philip Ross.
