TS&TT: President Trump & John MacArthur - #CriticalRaceTheory, Church Gatherings, & Civil Magistrate
Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Jared Longshore discuss the East coast vs. the West coast - President Donald Trump's recent order to ban #CriticalRaceTheory from all federal agencies and L.A. County's recent ban on John MacArthur and Grace Community Church from gathering. Are these good, bad or indifferent things...how should we be thinking about them?

God’s Law and God’s Children | Tom Ascol
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.
This presentation was given by Dr. Tom Ascol on December 7, 2019 at the Founders "The Law and The Gospel" national conference in Cape Coral, Florida.
