He Gets Us
February 21, 2024
Summary
Many of you watched the Super Bowl and saw the “He Gets Us” ad. Many of you are aware of the controversy surrounding Alistair Begg in recent weeks. There is a lot of concern amongst Christians about wokeness and liberalism and condoning sin. In today’s episode, Jon and Justin have a conversation about our call to love others--even those outside the church. Does showing compassion to an unbeliever who is engaging in sin mean we are condoning that sin? What does it mean to be salt and light and the aroma of Christ? What about speaking the truth of the law? What about sharing the gospel?

He gets us.
Alistair Beg.
Chaos.
Wokeness.
That's what it feels like right now.
Justin and I want to look at the law and the gospel and the call to be compassionate towards sinners in light of the chaos that's happening on the internet and in YouTube.
We really want to encourage you to listen to the entire podcast because we want to not only address some of the issues, but then talk about what is the call of the believer towards sinners.
Please stay tuned.
If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.
It's called pietism.
Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?
That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.
It's dread versus joy, really.
That's pietism.
Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.
And we have a little book for you.
It's free.
We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between Pietism and what we call confessionalism, Reformed theology, really.
How it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ.
And when Jesus says, Come to me and I will give you rest, what does that look like?
