| 0:00.0 | Thank you. |
| 0:03.0 | I'm going to be. |
| 0:04.0 | I'm going to be. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm going to be. Welcome to Truth for Life, where today we begin a series called For Goodness Sake. |
| 0:31.1 | We find out what it means to be good, and we discover the purpose of our good works. |
| 0:36.9 | Alistair Begg begins by focusing on the public duty we have as Christians |
| 0:41.6 | and the inseparable link between our beliefs and our behavior. |
| 0:51.8 | Titus 3 and verse 1, remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, |
| 1:00.3 | to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, |

| 2:02.6 | what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies |
| 2:10.4 | and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and |
| 2:16.1 | useless. Warn a divisive person once, |
| 2:19.3 | and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a |
| 2:25.6 | man is warped and sinful, he is self-condemned. As soon as I send Artemis or Tichikus to you, |
