Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Wary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ: Conversations about the Christian Life from a Reformed Perspective.
Our goal today is to pull the clutter off the gospel and to reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.
Your hosts are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
And I'm John Moffat.
I'm pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee.
Today is a unique podcast.
We were interviewed recently by Remnant Radio, and we enjoyed this conversation with both Josh and Michael, who are the hosts of the podcast, discussing all things law and gospel.
And we talked about the history, confusing passages, and how it's often used inappropriately to rob us of assurance, and how, when it's used rightly, gives us assurance.
So, we hope you enjoy the episode.
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.
