Joe and Jimmy are back at the cigar shop walking through the 1689 Confession and dial in on chapter 3 paragraphs 4 through 6. If the number of the elect is fixed and cannot increase or decrease should be discouraged or encouraged? How does this doctrine impact our evangelism? Plus, Jimmy gets impatient when a regular at the cigar shop stops by to chat.

Here’s a short, live recording of Doctrine and Devotion from our 2019 Conference on Biblical Theology. Joe and Jimmy step into an online debate about the lack of “lament” among Christians and the A.C.T.S. model of prayer. Do the guys use the ACTS model? Is lament a part of that approach to prayer? Plus, the guys walk through ACTS to share more of their thoughts on prayer.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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
