| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Coming to trust Jesus for our eternal salvation is something that happens in a defining moment. |
| 0:32.6 | But living out your life as a Christian is a lifelong daily commitment to obedience. |
| 0:39.4 | Today on Truth for Life, |
| 0:45.0 | Alistair Begg shares some scripture-based convictions that frame his life and ministry. |
| 0:57.5 | Two to Midi, Chapter 3. But mark this, there will be terrible times in the last days. |
| 1:16.0 | People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, |
| 1:22.1 | treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, |
| 1:29.5 | having a form of godliness but denying its power, have nothing to do with them. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and |
| 1:35.4 | are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the |

| 2:11.0 | happen to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Listera, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who |

| 2:42.6 | the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. |
| 2:50.0 | All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, |
| 2:54.2 | rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped |
| 3:00.8 | for every good work. Amen. Just a brief prayer together. Father, what we know not teach us, what we have not give us, |
| 3:17.1 | what we are not make us. For your son's sake, we pray. Amen. Well, as I say, it is a privilege to be here to be back here at |
