A small group of brothers in Christ broke the internet recently with the release of a statement addressing their concerns "that values borrowed from secular culture are currently undermining Scripture in the areas of race and ethnicity, manhood and womanhood, and human sexuality." The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was released with initial signatories like Tom Ascol, John MacArthur, James White, Josh Buice, and many others.
The response has been explosive and divisive, and Joe and Jimmy got a lot of requests to address the statement. Do they generally agree with the content of the statement? Could they sign it? Will they sign it? What problems do they have with the statement? And, Joe and Jimmy suggest three ways we can all respond to the statement, whether we agree or disagree? Plus, Jimmy has a cold and coughs over the whole episode.

When Our Leaders Fail
Many of our public leaders in the evangelical church have fallen morally and have either resigned or been removed from ministry. Most recently, Frank Page, former President and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee resigned, confessing to having been in a “morally inappropriate relationship.” Dr. Paige Patterson, President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary penned an encouraging “open letter” to Southern Baptist on how to move forward after this most recent admission of guilt. You can read that here. Jimmy and Joe have a little fun with the wording in that letter, and then get into the subject at hand. How do we respond to the moral failing of leaders we love or respect? The outline is below. When Our Leaders Fail We Must: 1. Be strong in the Lord. 2. Hold them accountable. 3. Watch out for pride and bitterness. 4. Evaluate your own life. 5. Learn from their mistakes. 6. Do not justify your sins in light of their sins.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
