The American Family Association writes:
After it learned of his controversial comments about homosexuality, American Family Radio is parting ways with well-known church pastor Alistair Begg and his daily radio program “Truth For Life.” In a September podcast on his website, Begg discussed the issue of a Christian attending a same-sex wedding.
The pastor said he was asked that question by a grandmother regarding her homosexual grandson. She was told by Begg if the homosexual couple knows of your commitment to Christ, and that you cannot approve of their union, then attend the wedding.
The radio ministry of AFA operates about 180 radio stations across the United States. AFA president Tim Wildmon likened the unbiblical same-sex wedding to a father being asked by his son, an alcoholic, to drive him to a bar. “Son, I’m not driving you to the bar,” Wildmon said. “If you go to the bar and you’re an adult, that’s your decision, but I’m not going to be a part of that.”

Oh Alistair Begg… so sad
“This isn’t something that we saw coming,” Wildmon told AFR listeners. “This isn’t like some of the others, evangelical leaders, that have drifted. This is not one that was on the list.”https://t.co/4AGpLVLOXR
