The Power of Negative Thinking, Part A

God not only spoke to me through this message but I picked up my now single mom lost her job and diagnosed with MS daughter who was blessed to her the end when Alistar said to MUMs "stay on the wall" as only he could say it. I had been on a 3 day pity party trying to justify something I felt was important in regards to my work and I was nailed. God has to prepare the way or it is all for nothing. Thank you God and thank you Pastor Begg for speaking to my daughter and myself as we drove to work and what ever else we had to do this day. Praise God!

I want to wish you and your family and church family a Happy Valentines day from all of us In Ga. Keep up the good fight and never give up on GOD.

Alistair Begg has good insights as a result of much study, as many men past and present have and do. In one lesson, the words of Christ, "deny himself..." were glanced over, with the focus on "follow me". There is a progression of human action in these words, beginning with denying oneself, humbling oneself, subjecting to Christ all that one may hold dear and believe, including traditions with which one is raised, or has come to cherish, though they are without authority in scripture. May all who seek to walk in God's ways, truly deny themselves, subject all of one's being, and believe and practice only what may be found in God's Word, nothing more, nothing less. It is difficult to see those things which one must/should deny...in all of scripture, the servants were marked by that characteristic to deny themselves, and do only what God had instructed, adding nothing to it, and taking nothing from it. Obedience to God is inclusive of ALL that God commands...teach this...do this.
