Hi, this is John. And today on Theocast, we're doing another dazed and confused, where we look at a verse of the Bible that often causes confusion. And today is Hebrews chapter 12, verse 14. And the end of the verse it says, without holiness, you will not see God. There has been a lot of confusion and explanation around that verse. And so Justin and I are going to work through it, through the

confessions, through a lot of what's been written and said, and then really do an exposition of

the passage and show that it should actually lead you to rest in Christ and not doubt your

assurance. And in the members podcast, well, let's just say Justin gets a little excited. We'll see you in there.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ,ations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

Our hosts today are Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina,

and myself, John Moffat, Pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Our brother Jimmy is still not able to join us.

He will be with us next week.

We'll be tuning back into our series on Calvinism.

So we welcome Jimmy back.

He is still feverishly working on starting his church.

By this point it, it would be up and running.

So Lord willing.

And so be in prayer for jimmy and all church

planners around the world who are trying to bring the gospel to their cities it is a very difficult

work to do as justin and i can attest to that is true amen amen somebody anybody that comes to me and wants to talk about church planning, which I do have quite a few, and I'm sure Justin does too, there are times where I ask them, how good is your marriage?

Yeah, I often put it in these terms. It's very true. I often put it in these terms. We've been in Asheville for five years. And it's like, that's not to discourage anybody from ever doing church planning. It's just like, you know, you might want to know what you're signing up for.

And it's definitely worthwhile.

And it's not for the faint of heart.

You know, I mean, you just, no.

So God bless Jimmy and, yeah, pray for brothers like him.
