| 0:00.0 | Someone 19 describes the Bible as a lamp to our feet or a light to our path. |
| 0:29.9 | Maybe you've heard the church described as a safe harbor and a storm. Those are pretty reassuring descriptions. |
| 0:36.5 | Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg shows us why the Bible can be a dangerous book, |
| 0:41.7 | and the church can be a perilous place to be. This message is part of our Encore 2023 series of |
| 0:47.7 | listener favorites. We're looking today at Luke chapter 6 verses 46 through 49. |
| 0:59.6 | You remember when Mary and Joseph take Jesus into the temple, as Luke records it in the second |
| 1:04.9 | chapter, and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, this child is destined to cause |
| 1:12.1 | the falling and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be spoken against, |
| 1:17.3 | so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. In other words, this little boy says Simeon |

| 1:58.9 | them with the Holy Spirit and with fire, he says of Jesus, his winnowing fork is in his hand, |
| 2:04.9 | to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the |
| 2:12.1 | chaff with unquenchable fire. Now these are the great absolutes of heaven and hell that are being |
| 2:20.7 | referred to, and Jesus says John and says Simeon and says the Bible stands as it were as a crossroads |
| 2:29.4 | in the face of eternity, and in a moment in time commends himself to the minds of his listeners |
| 2:38.8 | and says to them, if you will bow beneath my Lordship, then I will gather you up as the very |
| 2:44.7 | wheat and you will live in eternity with me. If you refuse to bow to my Lordship, then I will cast |
| 2:53.0 | you aside as the chaff and you will spend eternity without me. And indeed all of the message of |
