Theocast
Forgiveness for Homeschoolers and Hitlers
June 28, 2023
Summary
In the church, we are to preach the gospel indiscriminately to all mankind. God is in the business of saving very sinful people, and if we’re honest, this can be hard for us. Alongside this, once we are saved into the church, we lock arms with other believers in order to live lives of faithfulness and holiness. Here is the rub: the church can be grossly misunderstood in both facets of its life--in both the free offer of Christ to sinners and in the practice of piety and discipline. Jon and Justin discuss all of this in today’s episode.

Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we're having a two-fold conversation.
The title's provocative: Forgiveness for Homeschoolers and Hitlers.
So, in the first half of the conversation, we're going to talk about the gospel that is the free offer of forgiveness and righteousness in Christ to all people, and we mean all people.
It can be hard for us.
And then, not only that, but then once people are saved in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're brought into the church, we seek to live lives of holiness and faithfulness and obedience to the Lord in a way that's good
for one another and honors Him.
And basically, guys, the church can be misunderstood in both facets: the free preaching of Christ on the one hand and also trying to live in faithful ways on the other.
John and I are going to talk about all this in one episode.
We hope it's helpful to you.
Stay tuned.
We're excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.
It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.
You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.
You can also watch it on YouTube.
We have new episodes that come out every Monday.
Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective.
Here at Theocast, we are seeking to clarify the gospel and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom of Christ.
And to do that, we're going to have yet another conversation behind the microphones.
Your hosts today are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
