Founders Seminary

We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15 founders.org/articles/the-d…

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” – 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 foundersseminary.org

Professor Trotter is a brilliant professor and a wonderful friend. This class has already had a great impact on students as they see God's providential guidance of His church throughout history. Come study with us at @FoundersSem!

This Spring, Jacob Trotter, Assistant Professor of Historical Theology, is teaching a class on Church History: Middle Ages. This course is an investigation of the main theological issues, theologians, and movements in the Middle Ages. It covers the period from the seventh to the fifteenth century and lays a foundation for understanding early modern and modern Christian thought. Regarding this course, Trotter said, “We know that Christ builds His church (Matt. 16:18) and that He has given teachers for the edification of the church (Eph. 4:11–12). So when we study church history, we are really just admiring the handiwork of Christ through His chosen vessels.” Learn more and apply today at foundersseminary.org

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. – 1 Peter 1:6-9 foundersseminary.org

This Spring, Dr. Peter Sammons, Professor of Systematic Theology, is teaching a class on Christology. In this course, students focus on Christology, the person and work of Jesus Christ, and consider the eternality, pre-incarnation, incarnation, names, natures, and offices of Christ. Regarding this course, Sammons said, “Our salvation rests not in a divided Christ, but in one Mediator who, according to both natures, accomplishes all that God requires and man needs.” Learn more and apply today at foundersseminary.org

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.” – Romans 8:28-29 foundersseminary.org #FoundersSeminary #theology #reformed #reformedtheology #foundersministries #reformedbaptist #baptist #tomascol #christianquotes #reformedquotes #truth #christiantheology #biblicaltheology #reformedtheology #theologymatters
