There are times when believers can no longer be passive. When the tide of evil rises, we can and must take a stand...
It's not always popular to be seen taking a stand. But when God comes in unusual power to a church, we often see courage and resolve that was not there before. Today, how the ancient church in Thessalonica took their stand, and how we can imitate them today as darkness settles over our land.

Everybody likes a servant. We all enjoy being waited on. But not many of us like being the ones doing the waiting...
Servants have to serve even when those they serve don't appreciate it. They know that God watches their service, and is pleased. A church that serves is a church where God's presence is felt very strongly. That's a lesson we're taking home from our current study on revival.

"Taking care of number one" is how most people set their priorities. It's unusual when people give others first place...
That's what happens in a church experiencing the direct moving of God in their midst. A desire to serve others rises to the top, as it did in ancient Thessalonica. Paul commended this church for their service, and today, we'll learn the lessons they learned so long ago.

When all around us is turning to dust, we can still experience the joy of knowing that God remains on His throne...
The church in Thessalonica underwent persecution, but nonetheless exhibited the joy of the Lord despite their trials. That's what happens when God's presence is very real, as it is during times of revival. Today: a further look at a church when God "shows up."

History records several great awakenings in Europe and America, and there's no doubt we could use another one now. What are the indications that God is making His presence known in an unusual way? Today, we begin a series from one of Paul's epistles that tells us what they are.

Series: When God Comes To Church
Adam and Eve had it good, real good, back in the Garden of Eden. But they tossed paradise aside when they disobeyed God. Many marriages begin happily, but then descend into conflict as husband and wife display the latent rebellion that's marked every human since that first couple. Today: how to apply God's solution to man's deepest problem, and heal broken relationships. Stay with us.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Endangered species: some environmental activists fret about the fate of the snail darter, or, perhaps the spotted owl. But the real endangered species is the family. Fractured, broken, stressed, dysfunctional...all these words describe a crisis in the most basic unit of society...a crisis that begins when marriages fail. Today: a candid look at the causes of these failures.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Anyone who thinks that marriage is the magic door to happiness might want to note that fully half of all marriages fail today. The resulting carnage of divorce and shattered families leaves a trail of dysfunction for generations. God intended marriage to develop character, not just fulfill sensual desire. Those who opt out of their marriages miss many rewards. Today: what those rewards are.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Walk down the aisle, say "I do," cut the cake, toss the bouquet. Marriage: it's the way to happiness...or, is it? There's good evidence in the Bible that marriage is designed more to develop character than to insure a lifetime of bliss. When the rough spots come, and they will, what are couples to take from those experiences? Today: a frank dose of married reality.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Many marriages are on shaky ground. Some see their mates like car models - trade them in when a better one comes along. The underlying issue is covetousness...wanting what you don't have. The Bible has clear directions for making marriages last, and today, we'll see why living a life of love, purity and honor is the only way to insure a long and satisfying marriage.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
In the old days, it was said, "his word is as good as his bond." A handshake and a promise was all it took to seal the deal. These days, when a marriage breaks up, we have pre-nuptual agreements to divvy up the loot. Few take seriously the covenant they enter into when they tie the knot and exchange the rings. Today: back to basics, and why marriage, in God's eyes, is a lifetime deal, come what may.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Even among Christians, a marriage today has 50-50 odds of succeeding. Now, it's "split up" when the going gets tough. Wanda and Gustav Lutzer bucked the trend by celebrating 76 years of marriage in Canada. Their fifth child is Dr. Erwin Lutzer, who tells their story again on today's program, listing five principles that kept his parents together through thick and thin.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
What keeps a couple together for 76 years, surviving war, emigration, deprivation, and material want? Today, you'll hear about some national news in Canada: the story of the parents of Dr. Erwin Lutzer, and why their marriage lasted so long. Get set for a heartwarming and challenging broadcast, on this, a very special edition of Running to Win. Please stay with us.

Series: The Darwin Delusion
The scientific method involves experimentation and the validation of results. When it comes to creation, this won't work. There's no way to re-enact the moment of creation. Science must give way to faith, and that troubles many. The issue of evolution has carved a great divide between those who believe the Bible and those who scorn it. Today: questions and answers on a theory that really can't hold water.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
Some scientists say poor environment causes most bad behavior. But Eden was like the Ritz-Carleton, so, why the fall? The first people had a perfect place to live and no one to argue with, except each other. Somehow, temptation and sin ended the paradise of Adam and Eve. As the serpent whispered, the grass seemed greener. Today: more on what happened to two people who are the parents of us all.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
For Darwin's followers, there was no Eden. Primitive man rose up by pure chance from the primieval slime, and, here we are. The Bible gives an account with no chances. God hand-made the first human man and woman, and gave them a place to live with a mandate to serve Him as custodians of the earth. While the world celebrates Darwin's theories, believers know that it was God, not chance, that brought male and female together.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
Evolution's biggest problem? The first millisecond of the Big Bang. How did anything come out of absolutely nothing? For most under evolution's sway, the evidence and facts do not matter. Their objection is more moral than scientific. If there is a God, He's an inconvenient truth, and so, He must go. Today we'll see why He isn't going anywhere, and why His creation is ample evidence of a genius Designer.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
Evolutionists have a tough sell. It's one thing to say life developed by chance. It's another to say how it all started. Untold quadrillions of stars, planets and galaxies all argue that a Designer put them there. Pure chance can't create anything...something had to set it all in motion. Today, a look at the virtual infinity that is the universe we live in...fit to honor the One who made it all.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
Square pegs don't fit in round holes, and evolution and creation cannot both be true. Some Christians have tried to bridge the gap. Bowing to the influence of Charles Darwin, some argue for theistic evolution and other approaches that allow God to stay in the background as natural selection does its thing. Today: more on the influence of a man whose teachings cannot be reconciled with those of the Bible.
Series: The Darwin Delusion
Charles Darwin made history with "On the Origin of Species." This book helped launch evolution on its way. The battle lines are drawn. Christians believe in a Creator God. Evolutionists believe in random chance. The bottom line: if there's no God, there's no one to judge our behavior. And a lot of people would like that just fine. Today: we begin a series on "The Darwin Delusion."
