What is HAPPENING with Alistair Begg?!!! | Truth for Life, John MacArthur, Shepherd's Conference
Description:
Breaking news about Alistair Begg. This is very sad!!!
Alistair Begg has been a faithful preacher of God’s Word for decades. He has been the Senior Pastor of Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio since 1983. His media ministry “Truth for Life” is broadcast daily to over 1800 radio outlets and distributed to over 1 million followers online each day (between Youtube, FB, Twitter/X, Pinterest, Tiktok, LinkedIn and IG as well as platforms that don’t publicly share follower statistics such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and others). Truth for Life ministries receives over 20 million dollars in donations each year, according to the ECFA (The Evangelical Counsel for Financial Accountability) which are used for the purpose of advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations! Begg is the author of 18 books and a world renown conference speaker in conservative circles of evangelicalism. So, it comes as a great shock to hear him give the advice that he did about whether one should go to a gay / trans wedding or not.
We’ll be diving into that topic today and I’ll be giving you my thoughts on the matter. I’ve seen a lot of content created as soon as this was released by heresy hunter blogs. It was shocking to see that it was true and you could go and hear what was said on the recording for yourself. And I’ll be playing that for you in a moment, in case you haven’t heard it (and I don’t want to assume that you have). Many of you may have heard it already but I know that many of you have not. And it’s big news now. It moved past heresy hunter blogs to known Christian news sources so it’s definitely making waves in Christian news.

Executive Director of Grace to You recently spoke out regarding the Alistair Begg Controversy and related news. Phil Johnson of Grace to You in strong disagreement with advice that Alistair Begg gave a grandmother and decided to bring to the public arena.

"Sin Never Travels Alone!" Steve Lawson Weighs in on Alistair Begg / John MacArthur Controversy
Description:
Steve Lawson weighed in on the Alistair Begg Controversy by answering the question of whether Christians Should attend gay or transgender weddings. He boldly declared that "sin never travels alone" while preaching from Luke 3 about John the Baptist's public rebuke of Herod the Tetrarch. Steve Lawson and Alistair Begg were set to speak together at John MacArthur's Shepherd's Conference in March of 2024 before Alistair Begg withdrew from the conference.
It is reported that Alistair Begg and John MacArthur spoke privately about the matter and mutually decided that it would be best for Begg to not attend to avoid an "unnecessary distraction." Phil Johnson reported this news to the media when asked and nothing beyond that has been reported as of date of this video publication (2/8/24).
The question was clearly posed and answered in this video by Steve Lawson in the midst of this major Alistair Begg controversy: "Should Christians attend gay or transgender weddings?"
I'm pretty sure you can guess his answer. Now be sure to watch the video in it's entirety... This is not one that you want to miss!

Albert Mohler Weighs in on the Alistair Begg Controversy and Joel Osteen's Wedding Statements | CNN
Description:
Albert Mohler weighed in on the Alistair Begg Controversy by answering a question about whether Christians Should attend an LGBT Wedding. He said that he had a flood of questions on the topic due to the recent Alistair Begg Controversy. He doesn't name Alistair Begg in his podcast but was clearly referencing the recent outcry regarding Begg's public announcement about a change in his beliefs regarding sexual ethics as it relates to the sanctity of wedding ceremonies. Begg went on to make a defense of such beliefs after being dropped from a major radio network (American Family Radio). John MacArthur's Shepherd's Conference as well as the late RC Sproul's Ligonier have also distanced themselves from Alistair Begg. Begg withdrew from the Shepherd's Conference after a discussion with John MacArthur. It was reported as a mutual decision. Also, Alistair Begg's radio program, Truth for Life, was removed from Ligonier's RefNet. Albert Mohler discussed his thoughts on the issue and explained that he has been very consistent in answering questions related to the topic for a long time. He responded to public statement made by Joel Osteen in 2011. He believes that Joel Osteen answered poorly when interviewed on CNN by Peers Morgan about same-sex marriage. Joel Osteen was on the program with his wife Victoria. The Joel Osteen interview is included in this episode. I pray that this episode is a blessing to you. You'll want to watch it in it's entirety.

Voddie Baucham on the Christian Response to LGBT Wedding Invitations | Alistair Begg Controversy
Description:
Due to the recent Alistair Begg Controversy, the question as to whether a Christian should attend a gay / transgender wedding has been brought to the forefront. This is a topic that all believers are discussing now (with very strong feelings). Despite what Alistair Begg and other pastors have said regarding this topic, the biblical view is that we cannot celebrate these so-called weddings and that has been consistent throughout history. Voddie Baucham actually states in his sermon, that when you receive an invitation to a homosexual or transgender wedding, it is a theological test. You'll want to make sure you watch the entire episode, and if you have a proper belief about this topic, then you'll be agreeing with a hearty "Amen" an awful lot!
