The guys step into Chapter 26 of the 1689 Confession to discuss the the “catholic” church and the local church as comprised of “regenerate members.” How should the doctrine of the “catholic” church impact our heart for the church? What does regenerate church membership mean and why does it matter?

Joe and Jimmy talk about godliness—specifically, the characteristic of knowledge and its relationship to godliness. They open up Thomas Watson's The Godly Man's Picture and look at ch 4, section 1. If you have the Puritan Paperback version by Banner of Truth flip over to page 20. The mailbag is opened up and the guys talk about church division and Calvinism. Plus, Jimmy knows Joe's heart, but doesn't know the meaning of “slobberknocker,.” Oh, and Joe eats gizzards.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
