Take a Stand

by Alistair Begg

Philippians 1:27
 (ID: 2044)

In the midst of suffering and persecution, we may be tempted to envy the lives of the wicked who seem to prosper in their rebellion. In this study, however, Alistair Begg encourages us to trust God’s sovereign plan and, united in His Spirit, stand fearlessly against opposition. God is in charge and will never forsake us. Our behavior, therefore, should reflect our beliefs and make the Gospel all the more attractive to the surrounding culture.
