0:00.0	Thank you for joining us for this episode of the Sword and the Trial. Today, Tom and I talk about the
0:04.3	1689 London Baptist Confession. It's been a very useful tool for us as pastors in our church. And so
0:09.4	today we're going to talk about the history of the confession, the uses of the confession,
0:13.5	some of the ways in which local churches can use that confession as well and the substance of what it teaches.
0:18.3	So I hope this is a helpful podcast for you. Tune in.
0:24.3	Welcome to The Sword and the Troll. The Sword and Trial is a podcast of Founders Ministries,
0:28.2	which exists for the Reformation of Local Churches and the Recovery of the Gospel. I'm Graham Gundin.

1:35.8	You can get this from our website at founders.org and you just go to the store. It's our top
1:41.6	seller every year. Every year I think we sell over 10,000 copies of it. And we're
1:46.4	delighted to be able to do that because we think it's a good confession. We think it's worth
1:50.3	studying. We think it's worth utilizing, especially for church leaders, serious Christians,
