As you can see, I didn't get far with the "series" I began last summer about the 2018 Keswick Convention. My apologies. Life intervened and I didn't make much progress listening through the talks myself.
So, today I am starting what I hope will become a "series," but this time will not be silly enough to number the posts "Favourite [Something] Talk (1)" etc. Some years ago, I posted a link here to Alistair Begg's website, which I had just discovered. I was impressed by a ministry that would preserve and make public, free of charge, sermons and related materials going back literally decades. Alistair has a very orderly, disciplined mind, I believe. He also has a gift of tackling complex spiritual issues while keeping his feet firmly planted on the ground; he has a keen cultural eye and poetic ear, not to mention a dry wit. Anyway, not long after I posted that link, I was listening one day to a sermon in which he made a very pat remark about something someone had done. I took offence. Rightly so, I still think, and yet my response was extreme. I removed the link. In the meantime, the Lord has by various means reminded me how rare and precious are the voices who proclaim Christ without compromise. Alistair Begg is one of those voices. The sermon posted below is an example of this. To the great glory of my King, the one King, the Lord.
As you'll know if you visited this page in previous years, I like to "attend" the annual Keswick Convention every year via internet. The highlight for me this year has been this series of five talks by Alistair Begg, given in week 2 of the convention. For those not familiar with Alistair Begg, he is a remarkable teacher who speaks with clarity, depth, wit, frankness, and an unbending faithfulness to the Lord and His word. I hope you enjoy this series. Presented for Your use, Lord. Alistair Begg, Keswick 2017 sermons
