Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Judging Neo-Paganism #2 of 2

August 19, 2009
Satan's power is very real. His forces are quick to take advantage when we fail to guard the doorways of our lives. As we run the race of life, there's an unseen spirit world running as well. Demons try to subvert the purposes of God in every believer's life. Our task: to discern the danger, and avoid opening the many doors that can lead us there.

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

TV and the movies treat the supernatural as a world of fantasy. We don't take the occult seriously, since it entertains us. But demonic influence is very real...it's enshrined in modern philosophies as well as the media: music, TV, the movies. As believers running the race of the Christian life, we must understand what we're facing, and, how to deal with it.

Some people spend thousands and endure multiple plastic surgeries to improve their looks, and enhance their self-image. In the race of life, many people don't accept themselves as clay on the potter's wheel of God. They become slaves to their peers, who value appearances. But you can see yourself as a unique creation of God, and then, live in freedom.

Take one look at TV and it's clear that life at its best is reserved for "beautiful people"...people like Britney Spears. The price tags have been switched, and now, many assess their value based on how they look. This distorted view of self is damaging, especially to young people, including Christian young people. So, how do we counteract it? To find out, please listen with us.

At no time in history has the entertainment culture invaded the church more than it has today. How should a Christian respond? One way is by doing an honest evaluation of the entertainment we seem to be addicted to. Last time on Running to Win we took the content test and the control test. How are you doing so far? Well, the test is not yet over... it concludes during this broadcast, so listen with us.

It's amazing -- you can scan a hundred channels of cable TV and come to the conclusion that there's nothing on worth watching. Entertainment has sunk to new lows. To a large degree, movies, popular music and TV have become a wasteland. How can a Christian discern what to watch or what to listen to? Is it time now to toss out the large-screen TV?

Signs and wonders always attract attention. But few take notice when a man or woman finds salvation through Christ. Where is God's power most clearly seen? In a healed tumor, or in a life changed from the inside out? Those with discerning hearts know that the power of the gospel far outweighs the power seen in miracles, signs and wonders. For more, listen with us.

In some cities, you can attend a miracle healing service almost any night, or see one on cable TV throughout the day. Miracles: they seem to be everywhere, and almost everybody wants one. Whose heart isn't moved by seeing someone in a wheelchair desperate to walk again? But think: could these so-called miracles really be a form of demonic deception? Listen with us.

In both Testaments, the Bible has a lot to say about false prophets. Most of it is bad news for prophet and listener alike. Modern-day false prophets promise blessing without repentance, and prosperity for all who send a gift. Some TV preachers exploit the vulnerable and lead many astray. Today, how to tell when teaching is off the mark, and error has replaced truth.

In a time when people won't endure sound doctrine, it's no great surprise to see so many false prophets on the airwaves. Television: it sells people what they want to buy. Some programmers use it to sell false doctrines and millions are eating it up. Today, how a discerning believer can and must separate truth from error when listening to religious teaching on TV.
August 6, 2009
There's no doctrine more important than the doctrine of salvation: the gospel. Without it, we face a cold, dark, eternity. There is no room for error or opinion when your soul is at stake. What you and I need is the truth, and nothing but the truth. Today: the core components of the gospel, and why any teaching that omits them or distorts them is heresy.
