American Fundamentalism vs. British Evangelicalism
Bereans:
During the recent controversy generated by Alistair Begg's pastoral advice to attend a transgender "wedding" and take a gift, he addressed his congregation to explain and defend his actions. In his response, he made the statement that he is "not a product of American fundamentalism," but that he comes from a background rooted in "British evangelicalism." Many people have asked what the difference is, or have wanted to know what he really meant by that statement. In the video link below, the host defines the differences between these two concepts and explains how this statement was meant to be a disparaging remark against those who disagreed with his counsel. It is a good, concise lesson in church history, and provides a timely warning about the fruits of so-called "British evangelicalism."

I would also like to warn that being faithful to Scripture is not American, British, or associated with any other ethnic distinction. It also doesn't matter where a person comes from when he stands for the truth. God is looking for faithful, bold, courageous men and women who stand on the timeless truths of His Word, regardless of what the culture may be doing.
Grace and peace to you,
J.W.
