The Welcome to the Sword and the Trial podcast of Founders Ministries.

Founders Ministries exist for the recovery of the gospel and the reformation of churches.

I'm Jared Longshore.

And I'm Tom Askell.

Thanks for being with us on this episode of

the Sword and the Trial. We have reached the final article of the statement on social justice in the

gospel. And some people may not be aware of what that statement is, but you can find it at

statement on social justice.com. Statement on social justice.com.

And this is a declaration of 14 articles that was put together in the summer of 2018

and published online to raise awareness to this movement of social justice that has infiltrated conservative evangelical

and even reformed churches that seems to be borrowing largely from philosophical and

sociological ideas that come from the unbelieving world of scholarship.

And those of us who put this statement together, those of us who have signed it, we think that this movement is unhealthy. We think that

it carries great dangers with it that will ultimately undermine the gospel. Someone asked me,

why are you against social justice? And I'm not against justice, but I'm against this social justice movement, the way that it's being carried out today, because I care about justice.

I care about real justice, biblical justice.

So we've been working our way through this document.

I encourage you to go read the document itself.

If you want to sign it, there's a way for you to do that as well at statement on social

justice.com.

Currently 10,000, over 10,000 people signed it.
