Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Jared Longshore welcome Rob McCoy, Senior Pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel of Thousand Oaks (California), onto the show. They discuss the suffering that Pastor McCoy and his church have been enduring at the hand of the California government. How do Christians suffer well and contend for the faith against governmental tyranny? Are we willing to count the cost for Christ? Even if it means being fined weekly and going to jail? How should Pastors lead their churches during this critical moment in the United States? Is it just about a mask and social distancing, or are there bigger things at stake?

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.
