The guys wrap up chapter one of the 1689, paragraphs 9 and 10, exploring the analogy of faith and the analogy of Scripture. Plus, should we keep an "open mind" when reading Scripture and discussing theology? Listen in and let us know what you think.

The Persecuted Church
Joe and Jimmy are back in the cigar shop, and are joined by Stephen Kopalchick. Stephen is a member of Redeemer Fellowship, Director of Global Distribution at Crossway, and the founder of The St. Charles Institute. The guys had Stephen on to discuss a passion of his, raising awareness about the persecuted church. What is persecution? What areas are hot today? How can American Christians and churches begin to think more deeply about and get involved in this issue? Be sure to read the article we referenced on the Chinese church and their public statement amidst severe persecution. For more information on the persecuted church you can check out the following resources suggested by Stephen. OUR SPONSOR Missional Wear is sponsoring today’s episode, and we are excited to tell you about their newest project.

The 1689 on Free Will (9.1-3)
Those with dark hearts can skip to the 5:00 mark to bypass the banter. Today the guys step into Chapter 9 of the 1689 Confession to talk about “free will.” How should we think of the will of mankind? In what ways is it free or bound? Can sinners do good? And how should this doctrine impact our hearts and how we evangelize? Recommendations Willing to Believe by RC Sproul Bondage of the Will by Martin Luther Freedom of the Will by Jonathan Edwards The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination by Lorraine Boettner Our Sponsor Doctrine and Devotion is sponsored by Selfwire, a podcast and youtube channel by Dr. Paul Maxwell that engages modern intellectual issues from a Christian perspective in the style of Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson.
