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.]

This post contains a sermon from James 1: 2-11 on God’s purpose in sending trials and how to deal with them such that you might begin to know Christian maturity, fullness… being made perfect.

The welfare of your eternal soul depends upon knowing what God wants from you; being trendy; socially acceptable in your faith will certainly cause you spiritual ‘ship wreck.’
