Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Judging Neo-Paganism, Part 1 of 2

January 22, 2013

The culture in the United States is one where the occult isn’t taken seriously. It’s glamorized in best-selling books, makes big money at the box office, and garners high ratings on television. But demonic influence is very real. In this message, Pastor Lutzer helps us see the dark side of “fantasy.”

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.

Is your sense of value based on your appearance, based on what your peers think, or based on the fact that God loves you? If you’re looking to your peers for your self-worth, you become a slave to them. If you look to God for your self-worth, you will realize that you are a unique creation and you can live your life in freedom.

If we believe what we see in television or in the movies, our value is based on our appearance. This distorted sense of value is damaging, especially to young people-even Christian youths. In this message, Pastor Lutzer will help us find a way to counteract this misplaced sense of value.

At no time in history has entertainment had so many inroads into our lives. It’s not just television, radio, and theaters any more. We now have video games, computers, and tablets. And let’s not forget the smart phones that can bring the entertainment world to you no matter where you are. So, are you addicted to entertainment?

The entertainment industry has sunk to new lows. Movies that were rated “R” ten years ago are now “PG-13.” Music and video games glamorize sex and violence. So how can a Christian know what to watch or listen to? Pastor Lutzer will give us some tests to help us discern what to do.

The “miracles” performed by faith healers always attract attention. But are they real? In this message, Pastor Lutzer notes the inconsistencies in the claims of these “miracle workers” and shows us how God’s greatest miracle—salvation—is far superior to anything.

Miracles seem to be everywhere. Certainly, everybody wants one. And many religious television programs show all kinds of healing miracles. But are these true miracles given by God, or might they be a form of demonic deception?

Throughout the Bible, God has a lot to say about false prophets. The bad news is not only for the prophet, but sometimes it’s also for those who follow his false teaching. People today must learn how to tell false teachers from those who teach the true Word of God, and in today’s message, Pastor Lutzer will show you how.

As cable and satellite television networks grow in abundance, so does the number of religious broadcasts. But in a time when people are more interested in “health and wealth,” sound doctrine is often cast aside. In this message, Pastor Lutzer teaches us how to discern between false teaching (and teachers) and God’s true Word.

The most important doctrine that we must get right is the doctrine of salvation. Our opinion doesn’t matter, and an error in understanding what it takes to get to heaven can lead us into a very dark eternity. Pastor Lutzer explains why getting this one right is more important than anything else in your life.

Being able to discern true doctrine from false can mean the difference between an eternity spent in heaven or one spent in hell. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer calls us to return to a standard which all doctrine must be measured.
