Letters From Alistair Begg

Dear Friend,

My children introduced me to Waze to help me when I’m traveling. If you’ve used this navigational app, you’ll be familiar with hearing the voice say, “Watch out!” It also instructs the driver to “take a break” and to “stay alert.”

Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina

Dear Friend,

I am writing this letter from the campus of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. It is my humble privilege to have been invited to deliver the 2025 Adams Lecture Series on preaching. Being in the company of the seminary’s faculty and the students they’re preparing for pastoral ministry provides a strong reminder of the immense privilege and responsibility of being called by God to shepherd the people of God.

Dear Friend,

The arrival of spring signals all kinds of new beginnings. Plants that have been dormant “spring” into life, and birdsong, long silent, beckons us to a new day. The clocks change, and Easter arrives, bringing us once again to the cross, the empty tomb, and then to the ascension and Pentecost. At Pentecost, we are reminded of the indispensable work of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.

Dear Friend,

As I looked out at the crowd that had gathered for the CMS Summer School in Katoomba, Australia, this past January, a number of thoughts were running through my mind. I was humbled by the invitation that had brought me to the event and by the upholding prayer from my own congregation, which was, at that moment, so far away. I was also struck by the extent to which those attending were engaged in CMS’s vision to seek “a world that knows Jesus.”
