Oaks of Righteousness

Adam, Ryan, and Caleb are back discussing the affections and how general revelation helps push us closer to the God who has given that revelation.

The guys discuss how baptism and communion should play into the lives of both the individual and the congregation.

The discipline of rest and saying no is not as easy as it sounds. Adam, Ryan, and Caleb discuss the implications of being busy and how to grow in the discipline of rest.

The guys discuss how the Psalms can be used in our private lives to stir our love for God. “Because of his being so great and holy a God, he is worthy to be exceedingly rejoiced in and praised. The sum of the divine glory consists in his greatness, and in his holiness, and his goodness.” Jonathan Edwards on Psa 115:1

The guys finally get back together to talk about the affections during the holidays and New Year. Planning on reading through the Bible in 2017 but struggled to finish this year? Listen to some practical helps from Adam and Ryan. Also, traditions that help grow the affections during this busy time of year.

In this episode, we dive into the mystery that is God's sovereignty. What is God sovereign over? What emotions/affections should be stirred when thinking about God's sovereignty? What about sovereignty and suffering?

In this episode we talk about how the affections change the way we view work and how we work. Topics include, the advice we would give to our 20 year old self concerning work, unfreezing pipes, and driving buses in our sleep.

The guys discuss the difference between joy and happiness. Why are many Christians so dull? Why do people think the Puritans were bland and boring? Is God happy?

The guys are back together and despite technical difficulties they discuss a definition of the Gospel, favorite OT passages that point to the Gospel, and preaching the Gospel during the week.

With Ryan out and about, Adam and Caleb talk about Adam's dissertation and the affections. How can someone study deeply and not go dry? Also, we have the podcasting debut of the Howell cats!
