Joe and Jimmy are talking about the doctrine of Adoption from The 1689 Confession, Chapter 12. In his classic work, Knowing God, J.I. Packer wrote, “If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God’s child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.” Why is the doctrine of Adoption so important? How is it distinct from other aspects of our salvation?

There have been numerous accusations from former elders, past and current members, and even a popular radio personality.

James was recently fired by the elders of Harvest Bible Chapel, and other leadership is now resigning.

Joe and Jimmy take a listen to Pastor Brian Davis’s sermon, What Your Grumbling Says About God, to address the issue of complaining. It was a good word to people like us to often fall into the sin of grumbling, but a number of Twitter users offered a lot of negative pushback against a quote from the sermon that was shared by TGC. The guys explore the concept of complaining in Scripture and offer a more nuanced perspective. Is it always wrong to complain? What would a righteous complaint look like? And, why does this matter?

Alright, alright. Enough of you have asked us to clarify our position on women preachers that we have to conclude we were confusing and unclear at best. So here we have a quick conversation to set the record straight—as much as we can. What was up with that video on complementarianism? Do we agree with the Danvers Statement? And, can women preach?!
