This post contains a video by Pastor Michael Grant on Alistair Begg: narrative from Grant’s video: “Pastor Begg has finally broken his silence after being kicked off American Family Radio for his “gay marriage / trans marriage” advice. Phil Johnson, who is John MacArthur’s right hand man weighs in which is especially important since Begg is set to speak at this year’s ShepCon in March. I also address the issue of so called “Christian Cancel Culture”, it is a thing?” [I also included another video that is more in depth but much longer; also, links to numerous educational posts.]

Give Sin a Name: Things Unseen with Sinclair B Ferguson
Pastor Sinclair Ferguson began a new podcast titled, Things Unseen in 2024. Each episode is 4-6 minutes in length. This post contains the episode of 1-19-24 and a link to the other 14 messages he has thus far aired. I got my post of yesterday, John Newton’s hymn, via a reference he made to search the hymn. Ferguson’s most recent several podcasts have been about character types of Christians that Newton identified in a little book he wrote. Each character flaw will remind you of Christians you are in the midst of, perhaps, yourself. Ferguson’s purpose seems to help Christians identify their own flaws for future prayer….

This sermon makes those things very clear.
