Listener Stories: Week 31, 2012

Pastor Begg,
God has used your ministry to bless us richly. My wife and I have been married 30 years. The first 27 years, we were very much involved in ministry. Three years ago, Mary became disabled through a very rare neurological disease. She can barely speak, can't see well, and is wheelchair bound. She needs 24/7 care. We are now on the recieving end of ministry, learning how to recieve from the Lord rather than giving to him. It's been hard, especially for Mary. But she is determined that if God will be glorified through this, and particularly, if someone will come to faith in Christ as a result of her illness, it's worth it. She has a beautiful spirit. Alistair, your messages on Joseph & the sovereignty of God,the Power of Weakness, and the purposes of suffering in the believer's life have been especially helpful in keeping our heart shaped for worship and service. We would like to partner with you as you share God's Word to those who need to hear it. Thank you for preaching true to the Word, and letting yourself be His mouthpiece.
—Don and Mary

Just wanted to say thank you to Alistair. I've been listening to him on 99.9 here in town. I catch part of the message as I drive into work in the morning and thanks to the replay I finish the message on the way home. I've since found this website and downloaded the older messages. Keep up the good work. God Bless you. Thanks again for creating such great messages.

Thank you for your daily broadcasts. I've always find them edifying and encouraging to my soul. I do not write ministries, but just needed to take a moment and thank you all for working so hard and giving of your talents and time. Peace in our Messiah and Lord Jesus.
—Francisco

I thoroughly enjoy listening to your sermons. I try to listen to them every day. On the day that I can’t I try to go online and catch up on what I've missed. I have grown in my faith tremendously due to your programs and to God be the glory. I thank our heavenly Father that he has such dedicated and faithful individuals like you. May the Lord bless you and your family always.

Hello,
Please send me a reminder, if possible, when Alistair Begg comes to Portland, Oregon. I live in Portland and am very excited to see he is making his way here. I don't want to miss it. I listen every morning via my phone. I also read the devotionals. They have hit home on so many occasions. I am so glad I found him. I listen via the radio on 93.9 around 8:30AM. I go to work very early and tend to listen on my phone more often. I really appreciate all the help you have given through the messages. I would hope to give a donation as soon as I am able. Thank you!

Dear Alistair,
Just a quick comment to thank you for NOT making desperate pleas for money as so many other ministries do. I love your focus on God, His word, and His truth. It is so refreshing and actually compels me to give more. I loved the last letter...so true! Thanks again!
—Karen

Dear Rev. Begg,
I really appreciate our ministry on WMCA 570 AM. I listen each day at 11:00 AM. God bless your ministry. Your prayers are so meaningful and I truly love your sermons.
—Joan

Hi there! Love you all. We listen to Alistair Begg Monday through Friday every morning while we eat breakfast on WHWL out of Marquette, Michigan. I would like Eric Liddell's book. Thanks.
—James

Thank you for the great teaching ministry that is on the radio. I can't wait for Mondays to come around so I can earn more about God , His justice and faithfulness. Even though I fail miserably, I'm learning to keep going in spite of myself.
—Rodney

God bless the ministry of Truth For Life, Alistair, the staff, listeners, and supporters. Thanks for blessing us all with the internet devotional. May He prosper the ministry and help us to be pleasing and obedient to the Word, in Jesus name.

Your message July 10th from Amos on the life of the unborn was truly outstanding. I shall never forget it!
—Gerald

In Jesus name I just want to say that by far your words of encouragement are going above and beyond. What a way to start our day by listening to Alistair Begg. His book "The Hand of God" is making its rounds here. A third brother in Christ is reading it. God Bless your ministry. I am currently reading "Made For His Pleasure" that you sent me. You guys are the real deal! Give each other a hug.
—Harry

The messages from Amos have really hit me powerfully. I want to thank Alistair for being bold with this. The first verse I memorized was from Amos and I believe it gave me a healthy fear of God. I just wanted to say how much this series has blessed me.
—Dan

Thank you for the beautiful books the last two months. Praise the Lord God for the Truth For Life team. God bless you ladies for everything. You have been a joy to me.
—Molly

My wife Kristin and I love your ministry. Thanks for your faithfulness.
—Todd

Listening to your radio ministry is part of my daily devotion. Your rich teaching of the scripture is great fuel to my spirit. I need the Word of God daily to keep my mind afresh and my emotion and physical body strong to care for my neurosurgical patients at night. Keep preaching the Word with boldness.
