  • www.truthforlife.org || By: Alistair Begg - Christians have a new identity in Christ that should be reflected in our lifestyle. Alistair Begg reminds us that walking in a manner worthy of the calling we have received involves speaking truthfully, distinguishing righteous from unrighteous anger, and working diligently in order to give generously. When the Church cultivates this kind of lifestyle, it denies the devil a foothold in our lives and testifies to the power of the Gospel.

I thought it would be the end of me but, here a am.And yeah....He was an ordained Pastor...He never wore the band but kept it on his key chain. Said being a Carpenter it could get caught and rip his finger off. Maybe....but he knew he was married.

      Alistair begg is not only a hell of a preacher but a hell of guy I met him once at his church in Ohio went there for a conference of 3 days my accompanied me and I sat next to him and we had lunch together with 4 or 5 other individuals seatting at the same table and I can te you the guy is really simple and genuine he is very kind and humble he is also very pleasant to talk to , I was very i impressed by the way he comes across but most importantly he never deviates from the sacred text he is right on all the time and I'm every message I have heard from him he always exalts The Lord Jesus !! Isn't that the way it's supposed to be ?? How I wish all of Gods servants would have at least a little bit of him ! God bless pastor begg keep on ! Before we know this sorrowful pitiful sonfu life of ours will be over and than we will see and be in the reality of eternity in out Saviours holy presence !

I especially love the series you taught years ago on Joseph in the Book of Genesis. I'm currently listening to it again on the Truth For Life website. There is such a peace in my heart when I listen to your teachings. I love you with the love of Christ and I thank Him for you and your ministry.

    Talking about stealing stuff - time is one thing most people don't regard as stealing. But punching in so you're on the clock and then going to the lunch room for 15 or 20 minutes to sit and have a coffee - is stealing. You're not only stealing time by getting paid for work not done, but you're also lying/being deceptive. And not only that, but you're a burden to others because you're unable to complete your work on time so they have to take up your slack.
    So, in addition to being a thief you also become a liar, deceiver, and slackard.

      New Horizon. We all struggle with sin. That’s why the Lord Jesus came to rescue and redeem us. Only the Lord Jesus is without sin. Go to our Heavenly Father and confess to Him. His forgiveness will always and in all ways outweigh your sin. That’s not an excuse to sin. But ask Him to have mercy on you and strengthen you and to mould you into the likeness of His glorious Son, day by day. God bless you x

      We all did & still do; faith in Christ is salvation, sanctification is an ongoing process we do with the power of Holy Spirit in us we receive at the time of salvation. God doesn't want us to sin, so ask Him to help you *hate it like He does & to take your *desires of it from you; He loves you, this is His will for you (your sanctification, preparing you for heaven), He *will do it. God is REAL, He's not a player, He means business with you if you mean business with Him. "Oh what *peace we *often forfeit, all because we do *not take EVERYTHING to God in *prayer. Read God's Word, beginning to end; challenge yourself, when you've accomplished it, DO IT AGAIN. Faith, prayer, God's Word; faith, prayer, God's Word. Faith, repentance, obey. We can do NOTHING without Christ; we are the conduit, He is the power. Praying ...

      The Bible says resist the devil he will flee. You have to keep in prayer while tempted untill it leaves, this will happen repeatedly as to work your resistance muscles so to speak. Then the important thing is to get your mind to be disgusted with the sin that's being worked on . There will be multiple areas of concern to and also multiple triggers resist them to there ends as you do call out to Jesus Christ to help you get through and over the problem being worked on.
      God bless you and keep at it till you beat it cause it will stop your pre dispositions to do things.

    I realize that there are various convictions on this topic but my husband and I don’t wear wedding bands or jewelry due to the scriptures where it states not to wear gold or costly array. We both would feel awkward wearing one and believe the way we conduct ourselves gives a great testimony of marriage. Not here to argue but sharing our heart on the matter.

    The reason for Christ is to show us that it is possible for flesh and blood to keep God's law and God was so gracious that he gave up a helper in the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us in keeping those laws. Christ is not a free pass to keep on sinning and just say I have a redeemer and he will continually pay my sins for me ad nauseam.
    Matt 7:22-24, Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.…

    I have heard many that left me in deep guilt, fear,and intimidation, certainly not what Christ offers......
    What I was offered, was a list of rules and regulations.....contrived by men, to conform to a vast
    Array of earthly made rules and to conform to rules of man.....void of any love......Christ offered his life for my salvation
    Salvation.......this sermon will be deeply imprinted on my life for the rest of life,
    Thanks be to God, for putting this sermon in my path.

    Happily married couples don't look outside of their marriage for anything from the opposite sex. Happily married couples are truly committed to each other. I wasn't blessed with that kind of marriage. I married very young, in a rush to get out of an abusive environment with a narcissistic mother. I thought I was doing the right thing because my significant other grew up in church. Unfortunately, my ex has always thrived on attention from everyone and cared more about that than anything else. I found out he had a porn addiction, and he snuck around doing all kinds of things behind my back while I was working and raising our daughters. He NEVER wore a wedding band after the day of our wedding. He crossed the point of no return shortly after our granddaughter was born. I was done. I forgive him, I don't wish anything bad on him, but he traumatized me with his behavior, and I have no regrets about filing for divorce 13 years ago.
