Joe and Jimmy are back, trying to figure out their new recording equipment. They discuss ecclesiology: how sone churches are better than others, but that all churches, even the healthiest ones, are “subject to mixture and error.” And that some “churches” are not churches at all. Nevertheless, the church of Jesus Christ will persevere and grow until our Lord returns. Plus, the guys recommend a few books on ecclesiology. Recommended Reading The Church by Edmund Clowney, Manual of Church Order by JL Dagg, Outgrowing the Ingrown Church by C. John Miller, The Church of Christ by James Bannerman, God Redeeming His Bride: A Handbook for Church Discipline by Robert Cheong, and What Is the Mission of the Church?
