Summary
The guys crack open the Baptist Catechism and Benjamin Beddome’s exposition to talk through the doctrine of God’s decree. What has God decreed and how should it move us? Why is this doctrine important? Plus, Jimmy is back and he looks rough, and Joe doesn’t know what a TI-85 is.
Baptist Catechism Question 10
Q. What are the decrees of God?
A. The decrees of God are his eternal purpose according to the counsel of his will, whereby, for his own glory, he hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.
