'Tis not that I did choose Thee,
For, Lord, that could not be;
This heart would still refuse Thee,
But Thou hast chosen me;
Thou from the sin that stained me,
Hast cleansed and set me free,
Of old Thou hast ordained me,
That I should live to Thee.

The Apostle Paul faced his approaching death with confidence in God, but also with real vulnerability. In this message from the concluding verses of 2 Timothy, Alistair Begg directs our attention to the important roles that Luke, Mark, and Tychicus played in the life and ministry of Paul. By their loyalty and usefulness, these men illustrate the practical value of faithful ministry to Christ and the providence of God in ordering even missteps and failures for His glory.

"Our relationship with God will never be right as long as our relationship with others is wrong." -Alistair Begg

In the conclusion of Paul's second letter to Timothy, we learn that Paul had been deserted by his once-committed friend, Demas. Demas’s actions were motivated by a deeper problem: he had come to love this world and had cast aside his love for Jesus. Like Demas, all Christians have the potential to fall away from our commitment to Christ. Alistair Begg presents an example to avoid as he urges us to turn away from sin and persevere in obedience to God, our Savior.

^{Excerpt from Lasting Love by Alistair Begg:}

The original plan of marriage was God’s idea. Marriage is of divine origin. It is not, as many young people choose to believe, an institution that human beings dreamed up. If it were, then of course it could be revamped or even set aside. It is therefore imperative that we begin by understanding and submitting ourselves to what the Bible teaches concerning the origin of marriage. At the same time it is vital that we understand the purposes for which God has ordained marriage.

Dear Friend,

Nehemiah is one of my favorite Old Testament characters. Humble before God yet bold in his leadership, he encouraged each person to play his part to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. In Nehemiah, chapter 3, we’re presented with a long list of names of those who worked on the project. They are mainly unknown to us, nonetheless, they played a vital role in the accomplishment of this extraordinary construction effort in Jerusalem.
