The Gospel Friends

The Bottom Line + Listener Feedback “It’s liam from Canada. I’m still working my way through the gospel friends back catalog currently on episode 51, but I have a question for you. There’s a pentecostal church near where my church is that practice is communion interesting way they have grape juice and then a cracker with cheese on it. What are your thoughts on this and on communion in general some churches practice communion every Sunday and some once a month love to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks guys and chase keep across your brother.”   WWYT?! 2.0   To Bee or Not To Bee 23 Christian Movies That NEED To Be Made   The Main Event Can a Christian participate in social media and not sin?   Landing the Plane CFB Pick ‘Em Iowa State at Oklahoma Wake Forest at Clemson Maryland at Ohio State Missouri at Kentucky Ole Miss at Auburn Alabama at Texas A&M Louisiana Tech at UAB   Contact Us Twitter: @mygospelfriends Facebook: facebook.com/groups/hallofdogma Email: [email protected] Voicemail: (205) 575-9735 or http://www.speakpipe.com/thegospelfriends Special Thanks to Josh Grimes for our intro voiceover Website: https://www.voices.com/people/jgrimes4292 to Shawn Lombard for our into music – “Won’t Go ‘Til You Bless Me” from Rare Bird Website: ShawnLombard.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shawn-Lombard/ to Jeff Hendricks (@FunkyStickman) for our outro music – “Jesus Is A Friend of Mine (Remix)” Website: http://soundcloud.com/notentirelyunlikechiptune/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/notentirelychip/

The Bottom Line How much authority does a pastor have? I’m from a Pentecostal Spanish church there was a situation where 5 of my friends had left the church because it’s teaching false doctrine , the pastor of the church is an Arminian now not long ago the pastor had told me not to hang out with them because they were the ones that were teaching false doctrine and I was wondering what are your thoughts and What i should do simply because they are my friends and I want to hang out with them but also I would be disobeying my pastor and the Bible says to honor your pastor I wanted to get an opinion from someone who wasn’t part of the situation and also someone who didn’t know who everyone is and I figured since I listen to you guys podcast maybe you guys could give me an answer   The Game What is David Thinking   The Main Event TUGF vs Pop Culture (aka How To Lose Your Audience in 10 Minutes) https://blogs.thegospelcoalition.org/kevindeyoung/2017/08/22/one-more-time-on-game-of-thrones/   Look What the Trolls Drug In All About That Grace – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4NoqZB7qv0   Landing the Plane CFB Pick ‘Em Georgia at Notre Dame East Carolina at West Virginia AUburn (12) at Clemson (5) Fresno State at Alabama Eastern Kentucky at Kentucky UAB at Ball State Listener Feedback Shout Outs   Contact Us Twitter: @mygospelfriends Facebook: facebook.com/groups/hallofdogma Email: [email protected] Voicemail: (205) 575-9735 or http://www.speakpipe.com/thegospelfriends   Special Thanks to Josh Grimes for our intro voiceover Website: https://www.voices.com/people/jgrimes4292 to Shawn Lombard for our into music – “Won’t Go ‘Til You Bless Me” from Rare Bird Website: ShawnLombard.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shawn-Lombard/ to Jeff Hendricks (@FunkyStickman) for our outro music – “Jesus Is A Friend of Mine (Remix)” Website: http://soundcloud.com/notentirelyunlikechiptune/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/notentirelychip/

The Cold Open Was there a fight of some kind last night? The Bottom Line Protecting our children. “Okay, so this one I am sure doesn’t make sense. BUT, if a parent’s job is to raise a child to serve the Lord, shouldn’t we teach them how to be in the trenches? Shouldn’t they see us there? Instead we try to protect them from the trenches, and they often don’t learn how to handle it. We are so concerned with keeping them safe, sometimes we will disobey callings in scripture because we don’t want to affect our kids. We forget our kids belong to God and he is their protector as well. I’m not saying don’t follow the leading of the spirit, or neglect your responsibility as a parent… but their happiness and honestly safety isn’t the ultimate goal.” https://www.challies.com/articles/9-parenting-truths-from-john-piper/ How do we balance the risks of ministry with the responsibility to protect our children?
