Summary

In the church, we care for souls. But what is it that we are doing in that work? It is our conviction that we are helping one another die well--with dignity and hope. That may sound like a strange thing to say, but we are convinced it's biblical. In this life, we are weak and frail. We experience suffering and pain. Yet, Christ is our hope. And he has secured for us a life that is beyond this one. Semper Reformanda: The guys discuss a theology of the cross versus a theology of glory. And, we consider the point of our sanctification.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about what we are trying to do in the church when we care for people's souls. A lot of things are said about these things, but it's our position here that really what we're effectively doing is helping people die well, helping people die with dignity and with hope, and that hope being in the Lord
0:23.1	Jesus Christ. A lot of the things that are said about sanctification and even growth in the
0:27.1	Christian life kind of give us the wrong idea. So we want to try to define some terms and define
0:31.8	things appropriately today and think well about our weakness and our frailty in this life
0:37.3	and the hope that Christ has given us
0:40.8	in the life that is to come and to think well together about the faithfulness of God in the midst of
0:45.7	our suffering and pain. We hope that this conversation is encouraging for you. And then over in the
0:50.4	S.R. podcast today, we're going to get into some Theology of the Cross and Theology of Glory conversations.
0:55.9	We hope that you enjoy that conversation as well.
0:59.3	A simple and easy way for you to help support Theocast each month is by shopping at Amazon
1:04.2	through the Amazon Smile.
1:06.3	When you make a purchase through Amazon Smile, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to our
1:10.3	ministry.

1:33.3	Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed and pastoral perspective.
1:36.8	Your hosts today are John Moffitt, who's pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee,
1:41.9	and I'm Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. We have met again Hill, Tennessee. And I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in
1:44.4	Asheville, North Carolina. We have met again today, John, to record a podcast, my brother. I've enjoyed
1:50.7	our conversation, just our one-on-one time before we hit record. And I'm looking forward to the
1:55.0	conversation we're about to have today. But before we get to it, as we always do these days,
1:59.9	we want to give some stuff away.
2:02.6	Yes, we do. Today's book, great recommendation coming to you from Justin Perdue and a book.
