  • If subsequent generations are to hold fast to the things of Christ, the people of God must be grounded in the truths of Scripture. Paul warned Timothy about false teachers arising from within the church, and Alistair Begg notes that counterfeit Christianity remains a matter of pressing urgency for the Church today. Christians must be instructed in sound doctrine in order live out our faith correctly and recognize errors in teaching.
    Preached: 10/19/97
    Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:1-11

    Ever since I got saved in 1995, I have listened to Dr. Begg. First on AM 560 in Philadelohia and now I was pleasantly surprised to find these TouTube broadcasts. I didn't realize how young he looked but he is a strong, solid teacher.I thank God for blessing men like Dr.Begg to speak the truth. Now that Billy Graham, Chuck Smith and Charles Stanley have all gone on to the presence of Jesus, we need MORE men like Pastor Begg. There are too many phonies who "preach" wealth and prosperity and not enough of Truth. May God"s hand continue to be on him!!!

    Another great message!
    Rule of thumb: When my Christianity becomes about me, it's no longer Christianity!

      God bless you, Carolyn! I'm just a believer that listened to the video/message and was reading the comments. I am proud to share these messages with my friends and would like to encourage others to do likewise. Only God knows what the results would be! Surely these messages are a "springboard" to sending the Gospel message circling the globe for the honor and glory of of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

    "I am committed to helping people feel good, but only after God made them feel dreadful."
    Dear God, help us to accept the dreadful feelings and hopelessness in our human sinful condition in order that You might change and renew our hearts leading us to find You in a depth of commitment and devotion even unto losing ourselves to You and only Your will.

      Learn these things so deeply that you yourself are able to teach them with such clarity. It's the duty of every Christian to be able to proclaim the gospel in every season, and to all people.

    Prayer, as Jesus taught us, is our greatest asset. It is much more than we realise and if performed in quiet places, out of earshot of others it offers us the correct frequency generated by meekness and righteous honesty, spiritually, and a physical relief from the pressures of our sins by concentrating our prayers throgh our righteously poised hands. Our hands, it seems, are a trigger that stimulates our lymph systems and a very profound science is entered in to which has the blessing of Jesus Christ stamped upon it.

    Most Precious Jesus, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit and help me not to judge those I perceive as counterfeit Christians. I believe I have stumbled into a few lately and thank You for leading to this video. May nobody forget the Holy Spirit and His guidance and intercession, even His groanings which cannot be uttered. In Jesus' name. amen

    The last video sounds like the way truth time radio teaches. I like truth time though I don't agree with everything,but they do divide who and when the Lord was talking to. Keep up the great work.

    Our LORD, GOD and SAVIOUR did create the simplest fabric (H²O) to sustain all of life here on earth.
    Just as the Jordan and the Euphrates are made of this fabric, so to also are the Bow and the Elbow.
    🌹LIFE IS BUT A VAPOUR (H²O)🌹
    HOLY BIBLE
    Habakkuk 3:9
    Thy bow was made quite naked (bare),
    according to the oaths of the tribes
    (oaths were sworn over your arrows),
    even thy word, Selah.
    Thou didst cleave (divided) the earth
    with rivers.
    🙌ALLELUIA🙌

    This sermon may not seem so serious until you actually run into one and they sneakily and gradually try to pull you under. Stay prayed up on every single person you meet. In church and out of church. Be careful! Blessings 🤍

    One might say, based on what Alistair taught about who and what is an Apostle, we do have modern day apostles. They are the books or letters of the New Testament which are sent into all the world to be a witness for Christ and teachers of the Lord's Gospel. In Paul's time, they did not have those. The accounts found in those books or letters were still being lived and written down.

    With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.*⁠\⁠0⁠/⁠*

    All talk and no action?
    If it is upon every Christian to spread the gospel, then how does one do so when they are not public speakers, nor preachers nor a gospel singer? What if there has to be a way to spread the gospel without saying a word or being able to sing, your voice isn't something anyone wants to hear, but your duty is still before you? What are many of us to do to help our family, our community, our country? With each of these Techniques there are words added to the gospel.
    So what if we can spread just the gospel, nothing added? What if those who make quilts can put a prayer or the Sermon on the Mount in the quilt, giving whoever receives it a covering in the voice of Jesus? Or a hatband with the Ten Commandments in it to allow someone to wear the very voice of The Father? If one is sick can we give them a prayer in a gift?
    What if each of us worked together to spread the gospel and STOP with the downing of the way other Christians do their best to help us all?
    By binding The Word, as God describes in Deut. 6:8-9, any part of it, placing it in gifts and spreading the charity, God blessed each of us and gave us an abundance of things we no longer need or want and give with The Word added as a gift to another who has needs or wants?
    Why can't we as Christians spread the gospel the only way we know how and be accepted by other Christians? We are one in our Lord Jesus Christ and some of us are not those who can speak or sing. There is more to the Body of Christ than just a mouth. What? Are we all talk and no action?
    People need the love, hope, mercy, prayer, songs, peace etc. that is in the pages of the Good Book.The Word, The Truth will last forever.

    Natural selection is the character flaw in evil that is integrity is more important than life otherwise evolution is tragic circumstances with nothing intelligent happening. Almost everyone survive until they reproduce. Nothing is getting selected except for the character flaw in evil. I found a replacement for the character flaw in evil that I liked but God makes me forget things that will cause me trouble.:⁠-⁠[

    Paul is a false apostle. The 12 will rule along side Jesus in new Jerusalem. Not 13 apostles. Not 12 plus Paul.
