This special edition of Confessing Our Hope begins our 2021-22 season with a sermon from Samuel Davies, "The Divine Government the Joy of Our World." This sermon is on Psalm 117:1 and is featured in Volume One (of three) of "The Sermons of Rev. Samuel Davies," reprinted this year by Reformation Heritage Books under the Soli Deo Gloria Publications imprint. Davies's purpose in this sermon "is to illustrate this glorious truth, that Jehovah's supreme government is a just cause of universal joy." He prosecutes his task by considering God's government in four views or aspects: as legislative, providential, mediatorial, and judicial. Davies ably demonstrates from Scripture "that in each of these views the divine government is matter of universal joy."

In this episode of the Faith & Practice segment, Dr. Pipa handles questions dealing with the Sabbath, pastoral care, and the right application of the moral law in today's world. To submit a question, please contact [email protected] or visit gpts.edu/gpts-podcast.

This special edition of Confessing Our Hope is the first in a series of episodes featuring content from Greenville Seminary's 2021 Spring Theology Conference, "Who is God? The Trinity, the Gospel, and the Christian Life." In this episode, we hear from Dr. Pipa in his Pre-Conference Lecture, "Examining the Eternal Subordination of the Son."

In this episode, host Zachary Groff interviews author Zachary Garris (MDiv, Reformed Theological Seminary; JD, Wayne State University) on his latest book, Masculine Christianity (Zion Press, 2020). Tune in as the ZGs discuss the book, its usefulness, and its call to return to the Bible's teaching on men and women.

Please note: In answering the first question about the content of the book, Mr. Garris draws from the opening chapter of his book to make an historical point about women's suffrage being an expression of individualism in American political life. Mr. Groff echoes this historical observation. Neither man makes a proscriptive or ethical point regarding women's suffrage. Rather, Mr. Garris and Mr. Groff make the same historical point observed by historians of the American nineteenth and twentieth centuries that with the advent of women's suffrage in the United States of America, political life was no longer organized by voting households, but rather organized by voting individuals.
