A Biblical Perspective on the Events in Waco

The 1993 siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas raised important questions about the influence of cults: As Christians, how do we recognize cults? How can we guard against false teaching? The book of Jude discusses the danger false teachers pose and encourages the Church to walk faithfully in the truth of the Gospel. Alistair Begg guides us through Jude’s short letter, defining what cults are, describing their common characteristics, and explaining how we can confront their influence biblically.

Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Bible teacher on Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world.
