Founders Ministries — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 21:00:00 +0000

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden talk about traveling through Vanity Fair, borrowing an analogy from John Bunyan in his allegorical book: Pilgrim's Progress. They talk about living under the authority of Christ, when we are living in a wicked and fallen world.

How do we live faithfully in this world and fight to remain on the path of righteousness?

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden talk about the recent "Respect for Marriage Act" that our Senate voted on last week and discuss it in the light of God's word.

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Jared Longshore discuss the recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. There have been many different responses from Christians to her death and reflections on her life. How should we response? Was RBG a champion for women's rights? Was she a good and faithful servant? How do we mourn her death without celebrating how she chose to live her life? 2021 National Founders Conference: https://founders.org/2021conference/ Become a part of the F.A.M. | https://press.founders.org/fam/ By What Standard?

God’s Law and God’s Children | Tom Ascol

Founders Ministries — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 02:25:15 +0000

Is the law of God binding on believers? Are Christians freed from the Ten Commandments? What is the relationship between Moses and Christ? Since the time of the Protestant Reformation, Evangelicals have emphasized the importance of a right understanding of the relationship between the law and the gospel. This emphasis is still needed today. Tragically, the law of God has been neglected by many, and some churches even promote a gospel of lawlessness. While antinomianism is proclaimed by some, others preach the law with no mention of the grace of God, falling into legalism. Founders Ministries has been teaching a confessionally reformed and biblical view of the law and the gospel since 1983, and by God’s grace, will continue to do so. The need in the churches of God is as great now as it has ever been.

Our prayer is that the talks from this conference would be used to strengthen men, help men thrive spiritually, help men kill sin, reform broken men by the power of Jesus Christ, train husbands, train fathers, and aid in raising young men up to be godly, gentle, strong, and holy, having 1 Timothy 3 character.

Gospel Privilege and Global Missions | Chad Vegas

Founders Ministries — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 01:57:43 +0000

In recent years we have had a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing—even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders—is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org.

Racial Reconciliation - Ephesians 2:10-11 | Voddie Baucham

Founders Ministries — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 04:01:11 +0000

We don't have to achieve racial reconciliation, it exists. It is a reality that we must walk in, but it has already been accomplished in Christ. In this session, Voddie Baucham unpacks Ephesians 2:10-11 to show the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross to bring us near in perfect reconciliation. In recent years we have a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing—even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders—is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org.
