Inspirational Quotes by Alistair Begg
“We are commanded by Jesus in Matthew 9:38 to pray that the Lord would send out workers into his harvest field (and we should take it as a corollary that if we pray for that, we must also be willing to be part of that mission by being workers in that harvest field).”
“We have lost our first honor and health, and we have become the subjects of pain and weakness, suffering and death. This is the effect of the fall.”
“I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it. (Isa. 46:9–11)”
“Charles Simeon said when misrepresented, “My enemy, whatever evil he says of me, does not reduce me so low as he would if he knew all concerning me that God does.”
“When our tongues let us down, it is because we have not first watched over our hearts and thoughts.”
“We must not allow ourselves to slip into a false spirituality that treats our bodily existence as if it can be separated from our so-called "spiritual" life -- as if our spiritual life carries on quite independently from what is happening to our bodies.”
“Since we are helpless sinners, salvation must be a free gift. God bestows it on people without regard to any merit—supposed or real. Grace has to do with the guilty. Grace by its nature is not a proper gift for the righteous and deserving but for the undeserving and sinful.”
“There is always more we can do in ministry, but God is not asking 'Can you do more?'. He is asking 'Do you love me?' Some of those extras are not always as vital as we think them to be.”

“As someone who has spent the last decade training young men and women for Christian service, I have been keen to help them see that the best kinds of ministry are, more often than not, long term and low key. I have tried to prepare them for a marathon, not a short, energetic sprint. In other words, to help them have a lifetime of sustainable sacrifice, rather than an energetic but brief ministry that quickly fades in exhaustion.”
“If we buy into the church culture of celebrity, we drift away from following Jesus faithfully.”
“The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear bridegroom’s face; I will not gaze at glory, But on my King of grace; Not at the crown He giveth, But on His piercèd hand: The Lamb is all the glory Of Immanuel’s land.”
“You will never know Jesus Christ as a reality in your life until you know him as a necessity.”
