I have 8 adopted kids from backgrounds of abuse. One became gay. We had a good relationship, but when I found out about his being homosexual, I shared what scriptures say about it. When the marriage laws were changed, he cut me off because I would not compromise. Our youngest ‘married ‘another female. I was invited, but told her no and why. When my son committed adultery and got another man’s wife pregnant, she divorced her husband and married my son. I did not attend that wedding either. They never forgave me. But, what would my compromising with their sins do for them? It would make them feel comfortable in their sins. They would like me, but I would have failed to live them by allowing them to be deceived by their sins. How is that compassion? How is condoning their sins going to help them to know God? It will make them comfortable on their way to hell. People forget there is a hell, a judgment day, and that God will not forgive sins that have not been repented of ,nor stopped. Is it compassion to attend? Or is it a desire to be liked and avoid being hated and condemned by people and called judgmental and unloving? Who benefits eternally by compromising God’s commands by condoning what He condemned? No one.

”Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭

These days, right is considered wrong and wrong is right. The true, faithful believers are being separated from the herd.

"Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter"

Calling it a marriage is wrong..

I forgot to say, Steve Lawson was right on. Praise the Lord!!

The biggest issue that I am seeing is how some members of Pastor Begg’s church are followers and defenders of him and have ignored God’s word. Blindly following man “because of his years of service” instead of testing all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

It is not a marriage. It is rebellion against God’s creation of male and female and marriage which God created and ordained. God stated that homosexuality is a sign of reprobate minds; those actions rejected by God.

I disagree with Alistair’s advice to the grandmother, but he also later said, he would not give that advice to another in the same situation, but for that lady, he thought the advice was correct. He has denounced the homosexual and transgender lifestyle, even after the advice he gave the grandmother. I am just wondering why these preachers continue to beat-down Alastair, Christians should not eat their own. Every Calvinist preacher on the internet has beat this man up daily. Christians should be praying for Alistair and not dragging him through the mud daily. Please, let this rest, let the Holy Spirit do his work.

"Back in the day" we used to use the term: "The Gay Agenda". And we were mocked and ridiculed. Now it's time for: WE TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!!!

Not heard of Steve Lawson before but, love this teaching. Thank you.

You know, I do not think that I would be invited to a gay/trans/lgbtq wedding in the first place. Because all that knows me, knows that I cannot be ok with such a marriage, therefore it would make the ceramony uncomfortable for all that was there. I would be the little black rain cloud hovering over the ceremony threatening to rain on the party. So I do not know why anyone would want someone there that is against the marriage.

Thank you, Dr. Lawson for bringing forth the truth with "teeth" in it to the congregation at Dallas Trinity Church! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

AMEN Steve…way to teach truth, boldly and without fear!

Romans 1. Ephesians 5. Galatians 5. And on and on it says DO NOT PARTAKE, PARTICIPATE, BE JOINED WITH. What does light have to do with darkness. Is the scripture unclear on this?!

I appreciate you bring this up to clear up the confusion... I don't understand why a Pastor won't say such things

This saddens my heart because I recently just started listening to Pastor Begg every morning within the last several months and I love his teachings/sermons, so I pray he comes to repentance, especially being he was apart of the whole John MacArthur , Steve Lawson, RC Sproul ETC group I still listen to Pastor Begg every morning, but again I pray that he repents 🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️🙌🏼🙌🏼⚔️⚔️♥️

For a starter i would never be invited to a homosexual wedding

All of my loved ones, those that I love and will always love would not invite me to participate in any thing that was illegal or immoral or anything that went against God and His Word.

This is the best response I've seen.

I agree with his statements. But, maybe if "the church" stood upon what Jesus specifically taught about remarriage after divorce for any reason (Mat. 5:32) and about fornication before marriage: we wouldn't be in this situation.

Steve Lawson doesn’t compromise the truth

Well said! This was a great biblical response to the issue at hand that should clear up any confusion or misunderstanding anyone had. God’s word is clear and I pray for all that have been led down a wrong path by siding with a worldly view instead of Gods instructions to us in His breathed word. Thank you for this video! God bless!

Praise God for pastor Steve and other like John MacAuthor who will stand up for truth even if it means prison or your head. There are other pastors to we are to pray for them always and love and forgive them also remind them they are not above their master. As none of us in Christ are he is the head we are the body Jesus is the Bridegroom we are the bride

Thank you for speaking the truth, Mr Lawson!!!

The clarity is refreshing.

Amen amen amen!! We must stand for truth!! Cannot compromise !!

Thank you for this video.

Amen ! 🙏

thank you for this report!

What about born again, Bible believers, heterosexual divorced church members, pastors, elders who remarry. The bible says they are also adulterers but we sure attend their weddings. I’m just saying the sins sound equal to me.

Thank you for standing up for the truth

AMEN Brother!!! Thank you for sharing!! May Jesus Christ Be Praised!!🙏🙏

I might be the only man in this country that does not have a podcast mic? 😂😂

It is interesting I don't remember any discussion on whether to go to a wedding if one of the people being married is divorced.

Right on, brother. Christians cannot compromise the clear truth of God's word by applying standards of the world for the sake of engendering good will in their relations with others

IF Alistair were to attend such a wedding, would he object when asked why they should not be joined?

Amen🙏

Thanks for posting this. May you share the link of the full sermon of Ptr Steve Lawson

#Compromise #Apostasy Sin begets sin! Demons don’t travel alone but are gangsters. After all I’ve heard and seen from Alistair Begg, I am now fully convinced (especially after *some deep revelations from the Holy Spirit* last night in this regard, that I will post below), that he’s beyond repentance by now. #SearedConscience The process of exposing the TARES and WOLVES has begun! Ain’t nothing gonna stop it now. Praise Lord Jesus! Luke 8:17. Thank you for this, brother! Good video. God bless!

And how many Calvanists watched the Super Bowl that promoted Pride Night? Take the log out of your own eye first!!!

Alistair Begg was not condoning the marriage. He was talking about an act of compassion. We are all sinners. Be super careful in pointing fingers. The people Jesus hung out with were all sinners. He loved them first and then drew them to Himself. It's the Spirit who convicts the heart.

If we can not condemn this sin, we cannot reprove any sin. Pray.

Controversy like this is not nearly as prevalent, nor is biblical admonition as strident, as that against widespread endorsement of adulterous remarriage in the church. The seeds are sown.

This is my take. Who are Alistair Begg's elders? Because social media is raising their fists of righteous indignation on this matter. There is a protocol on how to handle this situation. Matt 18:15-20 Jesus gives the best explanation on how to handle a brethren. I disagree with Allister. He should meet with his elders or a group of pastors he respects to talk about why he said what he said. Because sometimes the body could be like sharks looking on who they could chastise.

I agree with Steve Lawson here on this issue but it also begs (no pun intended) the question about if/whether/how Christians apply a similar non-participatory principle consistently to other events that don't honor God's will. Are gay weddings the only event we make exceptions not to attend or are we cherry picking because its an LGBTQ+ issue. What about attending the wedding of two heterosexuals who had an affair and divorced their spouses? Would we send a congratulatory baby gift to an unmarried couple who lived together and intended to remain that way? What about being invited by a friend to see a very dark secular rock concert or rated R/MA movie? What about buying products or supporting businesses that have anti-Christian views? What about supporting a political candidate who advocates for abortion? Fill in the blank as it can be a long list. Some things may be very cut and dry and others fall on a spectrum of being situational.

Love your commentary! Very Godly center.

John MacArthur also disturbed me by saying it's okay to make a cake for a gay wedding.

Preach it pastor Lawson!!!!

Right! There are not enough pastors standing up for the Word of God (Yahweh).

AMEN!

I think most people know how 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 applies in a church. "I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves." The question I have is how do those verses apply to a gay wedding who are not believers? A gay wedding is not a biblical wedding. The union of a non-believer and believer is not a biblical wedding. So is it permissible to attend only a biblical wedding? I see no evidence that weddings were a religious event but a civil event that was done in the beginning. In the very beginning there was no ceremony.

Amen

So, Jesus should have NOT eaten with Pharisees and tax collectors because they were sinners??

I agree with Dr. Lawson, 100%, but what about going just to speak up at the part of ‘if anyone has reason for these two not to be joined, speak now’…?

How strange that Steve Lawson and John the Baptist agree with little people like us who think AB was wrong and whom AB called Pharisees.

A lister is clearly wrong. I hope he corrects his error. I have listened to him many times and think his other teaching was sound. It would be a shame to see it ruined by this.

Alistair and John are modern day John the Baptists.

Alistair and John are right, God says so.

I also don’t believe grandma should’ve gone to the wedding. But what strikes me is that of the numerous videos that I have watched regarding Alistair, Begg, and his advice to grandma I keep finding videos from you I was especially struck by your description how you would stand up in the middle of the service and make sure you let them know what wretched sinners they are, and how wrong they are While we know that non-believers still fall under God’s laws, that is not how they are living, and we are not to hold them to those standards You seem to take almost at the light and letting Alistair have it. I’m wondering if we should caravan up to Cleveland with a trunk full of rocks so that we can put him in his place? I have great concern when someone continues to hammer an issue you have shared your point now this is between Alastair and God and he will be responsible for this a very sad day to have pastors venomously attacking other pastors

I cannot attend a wedding between a man and a woman if they have been previously divorced someone and that person is living. Jesus forbids this and calls it adultery Matthew 19:9

I will always support Alistair Begg He is a great man of God one of my all time favorite preachers

In all sincerity, here is a question that has stumped me when it comes to American Evangelicals: Why has American Evangelicalism embraced MAGA and Donald Trump? Trump is the first president to publicly deny Christ (he stated in a public interview that he does not need forgiveness from God because he does not do anything wrong). This seems like something that should cause an uproar among American Evangelicals, yet they support him unconditionally. Who has caused more lasting damage to biblical Christianity? A faithful Allistair Begg, or a Christ-denier Donald Trump? What am I missing?

I just had a conversation today with some Christian girlfriends about this. One stated that if it were her grandson she would go to them and tell them that she disagreed and tell them what God’s word says…make it plain…but then say I will come because I love you. I stated that scripture says “have nothing to do with sin/sinners”. Another gal told me Jesus ate with sinners. Help me out…what do I say to that???

Great quote from Adrian Rogers: “It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It’s better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, ‘If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”- Adrian Rogers (cited in The Berean Call, December 1996)

Does anybody have a link to the full sermon?

Alistair Begg reminds us that the inclination toward pharisaism is alive and well within all our hearts. It is something we always must guard against-especially as we press on toward purity and holiness in the midst of an aimless and confused generation.

This dog pile on Alistair Begg only reveals more about our growth in self sufficiency as a body in the West. We have become like the Ephesus in Revelation 2, in love with our security we derive from our theology but devoid of the spirit. We must return to our first love, a dependency upon the author. Begg himself said he would not council this way, perhaps the spirit of God is exposing our hearts in this matter which reflect more of a Pharisee’s than anything else.

For all who want to hear full sermon type Steve lawson the title is turning point from trinity bible church

Excellent presentation! Thank you!

Well, I believe we need some reformers’ dose in our pastors and teachers. I learnt it from Iain Murray. Something “reformers” must come to our reformed resurgence. It must come back! God help us. Thank you

The fact that Dr Lawson chooses a Scot to quote...

Two questions. First, did any of these preachers who know Alister they call him? Second, Jesus seems to have gone to weddings and was attacked for hanging with prostitutes and undesirables. Would he have gone to the wedding of people who were unbelievers or rebels? He certainly went to the homes of Pharisees.

I think we need to fall on our knees and thank God that we are not going through what that grandma is going through with her situation with her trans grandchild. Pray to God to have mercy on us, that we don’t suffer as this grandma is suffering right now, and keep your opinion to yourself.

Where can I listen to the full message?

Please, may I have the link to this sermon by Steve Lawson? Thank you

So disappointing from Lawson who says we should only go to the Word and then goes south from the Word on this.

This topic is easy to say No!! The one that's not easy but the answer is still No!! This one is covenant wedding, divorce, and remarriage. Should we attend this type of ceremony also, a remarriage while one Covenant spouse is still alive. This is actually one of the biggest sins that's going on within the local church. This is the sin that's okay more than anything else. Now the difference is in a same-sex marriage that's the wrong way to do wrong. Then the remarriage is the right way to do wrong but yet it's still wrong because scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 7:10 and 11 ending with the 11th verse that for whatever reason the wife left the husband the husband is not to divorce his wife and that's a command! So the local church has done a very poor job of pointing out this sin of MDR. I read a post from someone in the LGBT community and it said, "that if we can't marry then you can't divorce." Very true! It used the verse of scripture in Luke 16:18 not only is same-sex and Abomination unto the Lord but also if we look at a few verses prior to verse 18 it says whatsoever is highly esteemed among men is an Abomination unto the Lord. So we should always point out truth! We should never attend a same-sex marriage but also we should never attend a remarriage of one who has a covenant spouse still alive, Romans 7:1-3 and also 1 Corinthians 7:39.

The real vital issue is pur daily battle on sin. Thats the real issue teal talk

Does anyone know where the original sermon is given by Steve Lawson please?

Allister Begg is a MAN of God. See that? MAN. Like all of us, he's imperfect, flawed. He's a great teacher who gave bad advice. To say he needs to repent is off base because he didn't sin. I and everyone I've spoken to would not go to an LNGTQRS wedding or would advise anyone to. The real person at fault is the grandmother who asked. Allister said she was surprised at what he said. That shows she knew it was wrong to go, but she sought to put it on someone else. In this case, Allister, instead of standing on God's word.

Why aren’t other heavy hitter’s coming out and calling sin sin but instead are worried about cuddling Alister Begg and not rebuking him in his sin.? The reproach to Christ and His church is a greater matter than worrying about the sinner and his feelings especially after he stated that he would not repent or recant his dangerous derelict advice .

I wish Moody who hosts Alister Begg daily on their Radio program would comment on their view. 🤦🏼‍♀️

You and the other preachers like you are sure enough acting like pharisees! …and we know what Jesus said about them! Stop already! Not any gay wedding but her beloved granddaughter! And the gift was a Bible! What about “…and the greatest of these is love?”

Granted this is my first time at your channel because I was hoping to hear Lawson’s message. Instead I got bits and pieces with commentary sometimes after just a few words. Why not let the sermon speak and then give commentary?

Pastor Begg when speaking to the grandmother could have added " and I tell you what, I will come with you and I will bring a nice gift tied with a ribbon" that would really have taken her "off guard" We in this family have loved Alistair Begg's ministry but until he repents we will continue praying for him but not follow his preaching or teachings, Very sad.

Would Mr. Begg go to that wedding? Would Mr. Begg bring a gift to that wedding? Would Mr. Begg officiate at that wedding?

❤what would Jesus do?

Jesus was the friend of sinners and wanted us to love our neighbors, not just other Christians. We should be modeling our lives to be more like our Saviors. You too were once broken and given the free gift of salvation, why would you want to deny it to someone else. A sin is a sin, this one is perverse but does not make them less deserving of the love and kindness that our Father has shown to us. Going to a wedding does not condone the sin.

Go and learn what this means, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.’

I didn't hear him call Begg by name, wondering why.

Sure doesn't... Like hypocrisy Favoritism..,.. just to name a few

Yes, it is not a marriage as defined in our Holy Bible, or by any stretch of our God-given minds. 😢😢

I wonder how many online preachers have listened to entire sermons by Allistaire Begg on the sin of homosexuality...

Thank you for not going with a preconceived agenda

Here’s a true scenario: Christian parents have a young adult son living with his girlfriend and she gets pregnant without a marriage in the future. My friend is invited to the girlfriend’s baby shower because the son is a nephew on husband’s side. My friend is hesitant to go on moral grounds to celebrate but privately send a gift later. What would you suggest?

in God's divine sovereignty didn't God decree this? Steve justified by the law Lawson dare to judge God's divine decree?

Was Lawson's sermon before or after the Begg incident?

There is an outworking of moral evil, that becomes physical evil. Open your Bible and read Romans 6: 23. Blessings.
