Ensnared by Images, Part 2 of 2 (The Ten Commandments)
July 7, 2014
“I am the Lord, that is My name. My glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” No ambiguity there. It is clear that God will not tolerate the worship of images, but do crosses, crucifixes, or icons violate God’s commandment?

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Whether it be a cross or a bronze serpent, idols can be made from the most innocent of forms. Even in our thoughts, we enjoy forming a false god who is more like us than the God of the Bible. That is why God commanded, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.”

Seeing ourselves as clay on a potter’s wheel helps us avoid the “I’m in charge” attitude we all too often have. As the Potter, God is in charge, and His hidden purpose will take us through the fire so that, one day, we will come out as gold.
June 27, 2014
Many believers have never seen themselves as clay on a potter’s wheel, being molded to suit the Potter’s purposes. Yet, the sooner we understand that, the sooner we will be fruitful members of the body of Christ.

The Apostle Paul wrote the ultimate essay on love. After you master 1 Corinthians 13, you will know what real love is, and is not. God’s love is the model we must follow in our treatment of others.

Our lives are the books people read every day. Those outside the church are drawn to experience the love that we as believers share. We must carefully consider why we do what we do, and what our underlying motive must be if we are to reach the lost.

In the body of Christ the strong help the weak, and the healthy help the ailing. Sometimes economic hardship takes its toll. Here are some practical ways we can support each other in times of need.
