I don’t see this as God’s endorsement of Donald Trump. It was an endorsement of the Grace of God. To have a leader assassinated is a shameful thing for any nation, but especially a nation that claims to be just and good.

When people blame God for all evil things or miss fortunes they forget that the devil pulls the strings of evil action smh. God created light and the darkness exists because their is not light. Scientist research light and not the darkness and the head not the cold. They know cold exists because their is lack of heat and dark because they is no light. If they had the light in them their wouldn't be any darkness. I feel that when I'm struggling the most is when I need God the most it's when I pray to God the most. You don't need to worry because God won't let you down.

You do know that during WWII, Hitler survived an assassination attempt when his staff planted a briefcase bomb under the table. However, while he was seriously injured, he survived. Did 'God' spare his life, too? So NO 'God' did not spare the Donald's life. No more that two people leave for work, drive the same highway, there is a fatal wreck, one dies, the other lives. Did 'God" spare the one and turn His eye to the other? That is just life sometimes. A tree falls, kills one person, another tree falls, no one is injured. Some people miss their flight and that flight unfortunately crashes and everyone on board dies. Did 'God' cause the person to miss the flight so that He could spare the lives but sorry for everyone else who died? Is 'God" a one-on-one personal 'God'? Absolutely! But sometimes, it is not 'God' at all that something happens or doesn't happen. This is one of those things.

most of what you mentioned are, SEE I A, MO*SA*D... Moments 2:25.

Hey brothers!

The Bible does say One of the most important thing is that we shall not have any other Gods, only the one and true living God Yahweh, It also says Love one another as Brothers sisters, Love your Neighbor, Love one another as I have Loved you. Because the Flesh is weak and we are born sinners Jesus was the answer for that problem other wise we would die the eternal Death. Jesus Christ sacrifice is our salvation, his crucifixion and his spilt blood is as ransom for our freedom. Jesus gave his Life so that we would be saved and have a chance for eternal life. We belong to Christ Jesus. Through Jesus we are saved. Doesn't mean we can do whatever we want living a sinful life, we will all have to answer for how we lived our lives. Are works are our actions have we been Kind and Loving as God is, as much as how Jesus loves us. Most importantly you must have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. You must build a relationship with God to get closer to him and he get closer to you. This is done by reading the Bible! This is why the Bible was made. The Bible is the living word of God. It will tell you everything you need to know about God, about Jesus. What we need to do to have eternal life. It will bring you closer to the father. It will protect you from being deceived , mislead . If you dont know the word of God , you are in great danger of attending the wrong Church, worshipping in a way that is not according to Gods Laws. If you are mislead there will be no excuses. I didnt know ? Won't cut it. This why the Bible was made. God has provided the Bible for everyone to read, he has ensured that the Bible is accessible to everyone. You must read the Bible! It will answer all your questions. There is only one Judge, if we judge others , point fingers not looking at your own faults you will be Judged as you have. God knows whats in our Hearts and he knows we are not perfect. He hasn't given us anything that is impossible to do to live righteously. Our free will basically be the determination of whether or not we enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Part of The Purpose Jesus Christ came to this world was to die so that we be free from the Devils grasp. Jesus also lived according to scripture , he lived for God the Father! He lifted up God in all things. How he lived, how he healed people, when he raised the dead. The time he spent in Prayer. He placed God above and Before all things. Jesus was love, he loved us and He loved the father so much he willing gave his life because God asked him to. God loves us that much that he asked Jesus sacrifice.

You guys are awesome ❤

Love the Charlie Brown teacher reference!

Thanks so much for this podcast. I like the way y’all discuss various subjects or address issues about the coarse of our culture. For instance the podcast y’all did on WCF Larger Catechism was so helpful.

Great video!

Great Podcast! My family and I are new to Meadowview, we have been visiting for the last 3-4 weeks. I happened to stumbled upon this podcast from visiting your website. This is my very first time visiting a Reformed/Presbyterian Church. I was raised pentecostal but for the pass 3 years I have been studying Reformed Theology and it is like the lord opened up my eyes to so much knowledge and understanding of him. It has been a great blessing! There are still some hurdles the Lord is working on but I absolutely love the focus on Theology. The church has been extremely welcoming to my family and I and I am planning on joining a life group soon. GOD BLESS!

I was able to get through the anti-Catholic ignorance e pedaled because he’s a pretty good preacher and I being a Celt sort of appreciate his roots. I was able to get past his willingness to form a kind of alliance of sorts with sinners because Christians (yes the Catholic Christians too) need to be open to all sinners - who want to repent - but, then he did something that truly stinks. He, in his European aloof, narcissistic ignorance with in addition to that the Baptist Catholic battery which we so often have to get by in itself, he claimed Americans lack the depth to understand nuance such as what Europeans have the capacity for. I thought, “Did that arrogant Scottish Baptist foolatard just say that”? So I attended him again and sure enough he did. That was the last time I listened to him. I forgive him, I even pray for him but, this Catholic - yes, we’re Christians - doesn’t give him the time f day anymore. Have a good life, Mr. Begg.

Good nuanced discussion of two items which have generated much slam-dunking and dog piling. We Christians should humbly and charitably discern the issues. Your video models that.

Enjoyed this. There is so much fear surrounding this election season and it really just boils down to unbelief/lack of faith in His total rule and control in spite of whatever direction the West is headed. I’m guilty of it, too!

To suggest that a grandmother going to her grand child’s wedding next ends up in marching in a parade is ridiculous.

As you said, pastor Begg is one of the best Christian preachers that our Lord has gifted us in with, and they are not allowing the preach at conferences? That is absurd! It is wrong to deprive us of his gospel magnificent,converting souls preaching. Whoever is doing this, beware, God is the judge and is watching your deeds.!

Does any one know if the grandmother went to the wedding? What her conscience told her? Did the OK to her by the pastor to go with a Bible as a gift, to let them know that what they are doing is not a marriage,who knows the results of her going will accomplish, God willing will be for knew light and repentance in the couple lives.

33:23 "Where do we go [in Scripture] to decide how we ought to live in a world where there are cultured despisers who think that we are knuckledraggers because we don't celebrate and affirm any kind of the entire rainbow of sexual flavors out there in practices? You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 ...in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars. Philippians 2:15

Amazing podcast!!! Yall need to do more. ❤

Well said.

👏👏👏

It is very frustrating to me that Alistair Begg's peers are silent in calling him out, because we all know what Bible says about these things. But isn't Alistair Begg in sin for: 1. Giving this advice unrepentantly, 2. Doubling down on it and rebuking naysayers as 'fundamentalist pharisees'? And 3. In Beggs first response potentially twisting Scripture to justify his actions. I'm surprised these questions have not been posed by those who have responded from the pulpit....

Thank you for approaching these issue with clarity, God’s truth and with such humble hearts. I have been grieving for quite awhile over what is happening in our churches… you both have helped me so much to approach these issues with God’s truth. Many things resonated with me but when you said we have to stay engaged without caving in, that was a wow in my book. Repent and believe…. Jesus said that…. Not me, nor you. And yes, we are pandering to a certain ideological view. It’s everywhere … so once again, from the deepest part of my heart, thank you for standing strong in God‘s word!

I didn't hear this originally, only from your posted video, but it seemed to me that Begg was struggling with the answer. He wasn't talking to a casual acquaintance, but the GRANDMOTHER. Once you become Grandparents, its an amazing relationship. You don't think you could possibly love anyone more than your children, and then the grandchildren come along, and WOW, your love for them goes deeper still. Would Jesus have gone to such a wedding? I'm not sure any of us can answer that for sure. I can probably be fairly certain that John the Baptist wouldn't have. But, Jesus definitely mingled with a different crowd...so...who knows?

I don't believe there ever was a grandmother, a grandson or granddaughter, a gay or trans wedding or a gifted Bible. The whole thing -- the original story and its defense -- and Begg's framing convinces me it is a fabricated narrative to advance a position he had already committed to.

Please review your comments at 30:00 minutes into the program. It sounded like it was sinful for a Christian to affirm and celebrate a gay “wedding” celebration, but if you’re a parent of the “bride” or “groom” then you have a slightly different view. Is it a sin to go, or not. Especially the way you framed the issue in the ensuing minutes, I think that you created confusion.

Behold the Savior on His cross... He gets us, indeed! He gets that our sin required death as a payment to God, a payment none of us is capable of making, so Christ made it on behalf of all those who would repent and put their faith and trust in Him for making that payment for them.

Thank you for standing boldly for His Word ,of course you will get falsly accused. We just have to make sure that our heart does not condemn the person, we pray for. We weep for them because we love them, and we know how hurtful sin truly is, but we have to stand by the Word of God. Condemn the sin that we are pressured by our culture and in some cases our laws, to endorse.

Begg is committed to the whole word of God. If you haven’t listened to him for years and years like we have please don’t take one sentence out of context. He believes gay / trans are in violation of Gods word and had preached accurately on Romans 1.

Thank you! I really enjoyed this discussion. I have a 4 year old daughter infatuated with Taylor Swift but I am seeking to raise her as looking more like Christ, seeking Christ as her ultimate fulfillment not the things of this world. I am encouraged by this conversation, that I don’t need to cancel Taylor but use it as a discussion for my daughter, help her build her biblical filter for the things of this world and point her TO the One she should truly worship Our King!

You should have not joined in the back stabbing of Pastor Begg not biblical.

The proper thing for you to do is to get off the public back stabbing band wagon. That's the sin hear.

Pastor George this discussion is respectful and speaking truth. I believe this may be helpful for young Christian girls

Great episode!

Not sure if you've watched the witchcraft like portions of her current tour. You might want to LISTEN to the actual words. You've really missed the mark!

Excellent and well thought out discussion. I enjoyed it a lot and agree.

Regarding what is and isn't a marriage, specifically between a believer and unbeliever, we should look to the WCF in how we judge its validity. It is a separate issue, but if God is the authority on marriage, we slide into the more depraved issues by not holding to our standards

I agree 100% and I’m glad that I haven’t been incorrect in my prayers of gratitude

The Jewish Irgun used Hamas-style tactics (bombing, assassination, mass murder of civilians) to drive out the British and dispossess the Palestinians back in the 1940s. By and large, Americans have forgotten this history. The Palestinians have not.

Gentleman I am a gay grandma 62 years old and I'm like really can't believe that y'all could be this old and yet so stupid y'all's learned nothing about God or Jesus Christ Y'all are way behind gentlemen Y'all sit there as if y'all created gay children You all will you might have but God made them with a sexual orientation different than yours they're straight people and there's gay people Y'all need to get over yourself You sound insane you really do and one day you're going to be so embarrassed imagine your grandchild like it's your place to tell them how to live You're robbing identities You're stealing their soul of who they are I can't believe y'all can't wrap your little brains around that it's like lynching black people and you don't see what's wrong with it You now you're lynching gay people Y'all have a serious problem with control all right anyway I have two grandbabies and I hope to God by the time they're old enough and they're getting there that this stuff is not going on get it together and Andy Stanley is a blessing I followed his father. Gentleman the question is why would God create a child gay and then demand that child walk a certain way God wouldn't but man did You are worshiping the creature man instead of the creator mankind wrote the Bible and you've got to do some research but for crying out loud y'all men need to get your biases gone and go do education Yes there's a chill you wouldn't make a difference of they found a gauging give me a break listen to you man That's a hard hard if I've ever seen. Gentleman learn how to love like Jesus did. If a God sakes if you were in the closet and if you're in the closet and you're lying about you're orientation well that's your issue between you and your maker but be a truth speaker Thank you for listening. 🙏🏳️‍🌈😇

Perhaps they fail to distinguish between things which can become sinful and things which are inherently sinful. Food can become sinful. Physical rest can become sinful. If an otherwise permitted thing becomes an idol, it's sinful. BUT! There's no such thing as a permissible amount of adultry. There's no such thing as an acceptable number of murders. And there's no such thing as God condoning that sort of union. Thank you both, so much, for this podcast.

For years, Andy regularly met with groups of homosexual men. He asked them if he should include diagrams in his book on dating and said they told him no because they are comfortable inserting male-male for boy-girl, etc. I mention this bc it seems that for years he has affirmed the lifestyle and once it became "legal" to marry he began advising men to "get married." He doesn't believe the Bible requires followers of Christ to live Biblically which is the reason he referenced "biblical marriage." Yes, Andy has publicly equated homosexuality with a disability. Sadly, Andy doesn't trust God to deliver and empower unmarried people to live holy and set apart.

Thank you for this discussion. 20 years ago I was actually a "member" of North Point Community Church. Unlike the Calvary Churches, we did complete an application for membership. I was allowed to serve as an usher/greeter as an attendee. I don't know how things have changed but you are correct in saying there wasn't an elder or minister actively involved in my life. I don't know if they currently offer membership. I did a quick search and that page is no longer available, just this brief description: "Here at North Point Community Church, we want you to know that the moment you walk through the doors, you belong here and can consider this place your church home, no title needed. Since we don’t have traditional membership, you won’t be able to “join” the..."

Dr. Robertson is surely a dear saint, a prolific writer of books which help other saints and is a preacher of God's infallible Word! May our LORD grant him many more years to preach around the US.

More fakes that know Malachi 3:8-12 is telling THEM to return the money to stop the fires, war, shootings, floods, covid, etc but they love money and satan so much they would rather continue killing people. They even know their own children and spouses are being taken and they still won't repent. They literally love lies and money and satan more than their own children!! If you don't stay out of the fake churches and run from anyone charging for the gospel including fake "Christian" classes, you will also die with the wicked. And they know Matthew 19:12 says God PREFES same-sex marriage and confirms transgender people are born that way.

Another great podcast! Thanks for these!

Thank you both for your compassion and words of encouragement. Love your podcast ❤

Ouch! This one hit a little too close to home 😆
