If we are going to maintain a passion for purity, we need to determine to live our lives in the center of the narrow way and not on the edge.

Growing up, many of us were told to avoid two topics in polite conversation: politics and religion. If we’re going to be successful in social situations, some say, then we ought to steer clear of these taboo subjects.

The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended;The darkness falls at Thy behest.To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.

If you were asked to predict what the next thirty years will look like, could you guess? How about even the next five years? We’re living at a time of accelerated change and increased levels of anxiety and in a culture that no longer embraces biblical Christianity. So what are believers to do? Futureproof: How to Live for Jesus in a Culture That Keeps Changing offers a roadmap for how to be a source of light and hope in an increasingly dark and anxious world.

If Jesus offered to pray on your behalf, what would you ask Him to pray for? In His High Priestly Prayer in John 17, Jesus prayed for His disciples, distinguishing them from the world, declaring them to be agents of His glory, and asking the Father to keep them in His name. In the following excerpt from the sermon “‘I Am Praying for Them,’” Alistair reminds us what being a genuine disciple of Jesus entails.

In political debates, there is such a thing a “gotcha” question—something asked only to coerce the person being questioned into saying something that could potentially damage his or her reputation. The tactic isn’t new. In fact, it’s at least as old as the New Testament writings. In the Gospel of Mark, for example, we read of a group of religious and political leaders who approached Jesus and asked Him, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” (12:14).

Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark! The trumpet’s awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round. How the summons Will the sinner’s heart confound!

On September 8, 2024, Alistair Begg announced to the congregation of Parkside Church that he will be concluding his time as senior pastor in September of 2025. He will continue his pastoral and ministry work at Truth For Life with no change into the foreseeable future.
