Oh no, John and Justin talking about obedience again.

Yeah, we are.

And it's an important subject because, to be frank, Justin and I really do want every person who hears his podcast to obey sincerely.

The question is, how is that accomplished? And that's what this episode is about.

There is no good news for those who only emphasize obedience.

We have to look to a power beyond ourselves. And we're going to talk about what that is. Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word. It's called pietism.

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. Piatism 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. Reform 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?

You can download it on our website.

Just go to Theocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to find their rest in Christ.

That's our prayer for you today.

And we're going to come at it if you're wondering, well, what bent do these guys have?

You ever wonder about when someone says, it's a Christian podcast?

Well, we're going to come at it from a reform perspective.
