A Conversation with Alistair Begg

Alistair Begg, senior pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, OH and voice behind the "Truth for Life" radio ministry, spoke at Cairn University for chapel on November 7, 2014. Afterwards, Dr. Jonathan Master, Dean of the School of Divinty, had a chance to sit down with Mr. Begg to talk about his faith and pastoral ministry.

What a wonderful heart for the telling of the Works of God and a level head during that process is Dr. Alistair Begg! And I am grateful to his wife who is such an enabler to him, through her own encounter with the living Jesus Christ!

You’re another in the line of great Scottish Pastors. I wish I lived in Cleveland to attend your church.

[@thestraightroad305]

Ed B I so agree. I’ve never been to Cleveland but I would go just to visit Parkside.

[@NipkowDisk]

Indeed!

[@Unconformed.RenewedDaily]

Thanks to our Lord for Pastor #Begg and #Cairn University. Thanks Cairn University for a deeper glimpse into one many of us have come to love and respect. And we appreciate this Alistair and I personally appreciate your handling of the word.

[@thomasdeangelo5643]

Thank You Alistair, I love listening to your sermons.

[@kayw.4689]

Yes, his sermons and enlightening and wonderful!

[@intelligentdesign-evolutio5841]

I like his humility and honesty. One major problem of churches in the West during the last 20 years is that pastors/preachers do not connect with their congregations on a personal, one-to-one basis. They do not go out and visit new members and old members each month. And they are often arrogant and vain. The majority are dictators and do not like creative-and-strong individuals.

[@pauliberg3492]

I love listening to the sermons of Alistair as well as just conversations and discussions..so much to learn..actually --- live, listen and learn.

[@dawnfoster6530]

Not only wise but what a wonderful sense of humor!

[@robertmize327]

A wonderful interview Dr. Master. Thanks to both of you for your leadership.

[@jamesbrousseau2736]

Proof that you don't have to scream to be heard

[@Longeeen]

[@petergonzales9448]

For God so loved the world 🌎❤that He gave his only begotten Son so that Whosoever should believe on Him should not perish but Have everlasting life. Let's save the world 🌎together. Pray

[@thestraightroad305]

Thank you for expressing, without apology, your relationship with your wife as an essential anchor of ministry and home. A Pastor with a wife who is co-Pastor, or whose wife looms large in leadership, is lacking a secure foundation at home. As a woman and wife, that ambition was harmful to our first few years of marriage andI I gave it up for the simplicity of home. Such role models are unhelpful for girls and women, I feel. Too much performance, the trap of appearance, the public persona...better the simple service which delights the Lord and nourishes and defends the home. Not saying there is no place for women leaders! One of my favorites is Susan Hunt. What a great attitude, and a Titus 2 ministry.

The analogy of a symphony with all being subject to the score is a good one as regards the church. 11:00 It is difficult, however, to find congregations that really understand the score these days. Most, sadly, seem to be United, if United at all, in playing a different tune than the one prescribed in the Bible. The culture seems to be dictating the tune these days.

[@johntobey1558]

This is a powerful testimony. The interviewer was a great leader in the local Church here in greater Philadelphia. Dr.Masters has moved on to South Carolina. We are praying for great leadership in local church ministry in Bucks Couty Pennsylvania.

[@nutmegger1957]

Considering the negative impression he talked about, with regard to old Scottish Ministers, and his choice to come live and work in the States, I wonder if Alistair has a bad taste in his mouth for his Scottish heritage?

[@DipsyDoodleDaisy]

If only the interviewer had refrained from the frequent “mmm hmmm”. 😕

[@marylamb6063]

Alistair Begg teaches salvation through repentance and through lifelong works of discipleship. Salvation, for Begg, is a business deal with God. The phrase he uses here puts it all in a nutshell. Begg says that “Believing Means Behaving” (or Doing). No, it doesn’t! Believing doesn’t mean doing good works. Believing means trusting Jesus and what HE did in His perfect life, death on the cross for all your sins (past, present and future), and His resurrection. If you get the way of salvation wrong, you are a False Teacher.

[@martinettebrits3400]

@Mary Lamb, If you repent and believe that Jesus died on the Christ for your sins, you are not supposed sin anymore but we are humans and we sin everyday in our lives. BUT we need to repent for our sins everyday. You can’t live your life like you want to and do what you want to… if you are a Christian,you are under God’s law and you follow Him.
