What We're Reading

In today's episode of What We're Reading we're discussing politics. YES, I said politics. We want to encourage you in this incredibly frustrating and tumultuous season to look to the Scripture, and the unchanging character of God, and trust HIM as as a citizen of Heaven first and foremost!

We're looking at Jonathan Leeman's article from 9-Marks, published on 9/29/20 to aid our discussion. We do not claim a perfect view. We are with you in this difficult season and understand our immense need for prayer and the wisdom of God.

BONUS EPISODE!

First, Eric reduces Joel's book, Beeline to the Cross, down to the status of a brochure. Then they get to the topic at hand, The Local Church. What is the Church?

BACK TO SCHOOL! Don't panic! God is with you!

Eric and Joel (attempt to) read Calvin's famous back to school prayer and encourage parents and students to look to God, and to knowing Jesus Christ as the ultimate end of all education. "That when I grow up I may serve thee in whatever station thou mayest assign me." (Excuse the old English)

When we win souls for Christ it pleases our Lord. That is the greatest reward! Even when the attempts fall short of a soul saved, we stand with Jesus who, himself, was rejected. Let us seek to win souls!
