He Owns Our Tongues, Part 1 of 2
October 27, 2011
It is said that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Yes, words are powerful, and when spoken, they can cut like swords. If we could rewind the tapes of our lives and hear all we have said, we would be shocked. We would wish we could press the “erase” button. Yes, our tongues can be lethal weapons. Only under God’s control can they bring blessing rather than cursing.

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.

As a runner heads into the last turn, sometimes his energy begins to run out. What he needs then is a source of power. Like runners getting a second wind, we are not left to carry out the Great Commission without resources. Jesus promised His disciples power, and when He has first place in our lives, that power begins to flow. How do we receive it?

The message is clear. Our culture and the media tell us to “look out for number one.” In a way, they are right. Running the race of life involves understanding who is in charge. Once we realize that “number one” is not us, the race gets a lot easier. Let’s take the first step in living life with God in firm control, as was the case in the early church. Open your Bible to the book of Acts.

It is easy to trust God when you have a six-figure salary and a paid-for house. It is tougher when you have neither. God put the people of Israel in some really tough spots during their enslavement in Egypt. Only when the pressure really mounts do some of us finally cry to God for help and become willing to take whatever He gives.

When life is hard, it is easy to complain. When we are desperate, we wonder if God really cares about our situation. Today’s hard times are nothing like those Israel faced under the heel of the Pharaoh of Egypt. The people were brutally oppressed as slaves. The lessons they learned might help us face the stresses of a modern era when hope, again, is fading.

If life were a bed of roses, we would never appreciate how good roses smell. For Moses, the desert gave him that appreciation. Herding sheep was his lot for 40 years, a time during which God was preparing him for leadership beyond his wildest dreams. And many of us are now in the desert, learning lessons for a future day when we’ll understand why we needed to learn them.

When the economy falters, the real story is told in the lives of people losing jobs, homes, and ultimately, hope. For many, life is increasingly hard. There seems to be no way out of every day’s problems. The American Dream is just that, a fleeting dream. What do you do when life is hard and options are few? Today: the first of two messages about tough times, and how to handle them.

When a potter throws clay on his wheel, that clay has no choice about what it is going to become. It’s job is to be still and be transformed. Seeing ourselves as clay helps us avoid the “I’m in charge” attitude we all too often have. As the Potter, God is in charge, and He has a purpose we cannot see, a purpose that will take us through the fire so that, one day, we will come out as gold.

We humans tend to think we are hot stuff. We think we are in control, little realizing that Someone else sets the agenda. Many believers have never seen themselves as clay on a potter’s wheel, being molded to suit the Potter’s purposes. But the sooner we understand that, the sooner we will be fruitful members of the body of Christ. Today: lessons from a wheel and a furnace, during a trip to Israel.

As the tide of immorality rises, the damage done to marriages and families rises with it. One cause: Satan. Satan uses his demons to influence and indwell people, leaving behind a trail of destructive choices and actions. The victims of these actions are then left with pasts that are hard to deal with.

Philosophers have long wrestled with the root cause of evil in the human experience. Their answers are not satisfying. That is because we need to look outside ourselves, even outside our environments, to find one major cause of evil, and that cause is Satan, who seeks to destroy in any way he can.
