In this inaugural episode of "Faith & Practice" under the purview of Antioch Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Woodruff, South Carolina, Dr. Pipa and Pastor Groff discuss a landmark Supreme Court ruling (Groff v. DeJoy, Postmaster General), the 50th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, and a diverse array of listener questions.
Questions include: - Why was the 1933 edition of the PCUS BCO chosen as the starting point for construction of the PCA BCO? - Should Christian ministers marry two unbelievers and/or marry two professing Christians who show no evidence of true saving faith? - If a man commits adultery and his wife chooses to divorce him, should she get full custody of the children? If yes, does he cease to be the covenantal head of the household? Does the man's repentance and desire (or lack thereof) to remain in the marriage change the answer? Is joint custody a biblical concept? - Is it wrong to watch recordings of sport matches that take place on the Lord's Day? - Can you comment on the increased rate of exceptions (i.e., stated differences) to the 'Recreation Clause' in the Westminster Standards? - Regarding the Sabbath, what does the word 'pleasure' in Isaiah 58:13 and 14 mean for us today?
