And dealing with the corruption of our nation, we’re seeing previously supposed Biblical pastors turn away from the Bible and expose themselves as part of the falling away. This is clearly setting aside God’s truth for acceptance by the world, ultimately for money. Many of these pastors are just running a business and don’t hold to the fidelity of scripture or concern for the spiritual condition of their flock, and a telling sign for many is the deal made with the federal government to be silent on political issues for their tax exempt status. Why would a true church of God let the government put limits on their speech, and as Christ said when the salt meant to preserve loses it’s taste, it’s only good to be thrown aside and trampled under foot. But this is not a new phenomenon, as the priests in the time of Israel and Judah’s downfall were also lying on God and affirming the sinful condition of the people telling them all will be well with them, right up until they were conquered and sent into slavery if they escaped with their lives. Except this time, the world is looking at the final judgement of God, where all the unbelievers will be dispatched to the second death whose time swiftly approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some disheartening news, Pastor Alistair Begg has doubled down on his insistence that Christians can attend LGBTQ weddings and even buy the couple a gift<\/a>, according to the leadership of American Family Radio, resulting in Begg\u2019 show being terminated from the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begg, who pastors Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and whose program Truth for Life<\/em> has aired on AFR for the last 12 years, sent representatives to speak on his behalf to AFR Vice President Ed Vitagliano and AFA Vice President Walker Wildmon. The results, they shared, were discouraging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking over the timeslot previously occupied by Truth for Life to speak directly to Begg\u2019s audience, AFR leadership said they contacted the pastor to give him \u201can opportunity to say \u2018I messed up right there’\u201d and to provide him with the opportunity to say \u2018I said the wrong thing, and I\u2019d like to recant,’\u201d but that no apology or clarification was forthcoming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The two individuals that we talked with, Walker and I with two individuals from Alistair Begg\u2019s ministry, they made it clear that Alistair Begg believes that homosexuality is wrong, he hasn\u2019t changed that his views on that. He does not believe that homosexual marriage is valid<\/strong> and that the practice of homosexual activity is, as the Bible says, an abomination.

So all four of us were in agreement with that. But what we could not get them to change, and they said that Alistair Begg is not going to change his mind, was on the issue of whether Christians should attend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026And the goal of the call, and the goal of all Christians when approaching these issues, should be reconciliation, but reconciliation in truth. And so that was our goal with the call with Alistair Begg\u2019s team and unfortunately we didn\u2019t get there. But we did press the issue multiple times and we even asked point-blank \u2018So are you guys stating that pastor Alistair Begg is standing by his original comment? He has no regrets? He didn\u2019t misspeak? He doesn\u2019t want to further clarify nothing?<\/strong>

And they said \u2018yes, he\u2019s standing by his original comment.’\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The hosts lamented Begg\u2019s response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

So very disappointing. And you know I even told\u2026 the gentleman and lady that we were on the call with with Truth for Life, that pastor Alistair Begg has such a long, decades long track record of biblical fidelity and truthfully teaching the Word of God, that this is extremely disappointing. This isn\u2019t something that we saw coming. This isn\u2019t like- some of the others Evangelical leaders that have drifted, this is not one that was on the list that we could have seen this coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Begg sent staffers to speak in his stead, he has yet to personally address the matters publicly or justify holding such a dangerous and theologically decrepit view. Begg\u2019s show still airs on 1800 radio stations, and he\u2019s slated to be a speaker at the upcoming Shepherds Conference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
