Let's Experience the Power of Prayer #1 of 2
December 14, 2009
Many of us pray for little things, where there isn't much risk. Then there's Joshua, who prayed for big things...I mean really big things... He needed more daylight to defeat an enemy, so he asked God to make the sun stand still. Now that's faith. Today: lessons we can learn from an event that seems to defy the rules of nature. Stay with us, as we pay a visit to the Valley of Ajilon.

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.

God in His grace has a way of turning our lemons into lemonade. He can make good come even out of bad decisions.... Joshua cut a bad deal with the Gibeonites, but God used it for the long-term benefit of His people. And guess what....He can use your bad calls to work out His ultimate purposes. Today: insights on what can come from your bad decisions.

It happens to all of us. Despite our best intentions, we make poor decisions, and then have to live with the consequences. Part of running life's race is dealing with those bad decisions. Are you stuck with the after-effects of a bad move you've made? Joshua made a poor call during his conquest of Canaan, and how he dealt with it can help us deal with our bad choices.

It's sad, but it's true. Many believers attempt to manage their sins rather than to confess and forsake them. They think they can control their lives and keep a lid on the infection eating them up inside. They keep their sins a secret, feeling sure they can contain the damage. But the story of Joshua and Achan proves otherwise. Today: some sober conclusions we must understand.

Spiritual mountaintops can be followed by deep valleys, especially when we allow sin to remain hidden in our lives.... Joshua learned this the hard way after his humiliating defeat at Ai. After all, they had taken Jericho! A self-assured Israeli army was stunned by their loss at an insignificant village. Today: a sober lesson on how seriously God takes sin.

Today's armies don't conduct warfare the way ancient Israel took Jericho. You don't march around and shout, you attack.... But they did march around Jericho's walls, because God's purpose was to prove to them that He and only He caused their victory. As Zechariah would later write: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord."

The enemy had it all: a walled city, superior arms. But Israel had God...Jericho didn't stand a chance.... At Gilgal, God through Joshua prepared His people for a great day of victory yet to come. Sometimes life's race brings us to pivotal points of proving God's faithfulness. For Joshua, that point was a seemingly impregnable city, and that day was now.
December 4, 2009
Some believers never run life's race. They sit by the side of the road, feeling left out of what God had for them. This is a mistake. Being morose is no fun. Our attitude makes a big difference, and that's something we can change. The book of Joshua teaches us to get up and get going: there is a future, and there is a hope. Today: more lessons from a place called Gilgal.

Are you in the wilderness, spiritually? Has your vision of God dimmed? You need to stay tuned for a way out of the desert.... Before the battles in Canaan could begin, Joshua needed a fresh cleansing from God, and a fresh vision of God. Do you face tough times in the days ahead? Like Joshua, you can face them with a clean heart and a renewed sense of God's presence.

The race of life: a struggle from the beginning to the last lap. Each of us needs the word of God for strength to face the battle.... And that means meditation and study in the Scriptures each and every day. That was the first step Joshua took before conquering Canaan, and, it's how we can conquer the personal challenges God has set before us.

Any sprinter knows that getting a good jump off the starting blocks is key to winning a race. That's true in life as well......
For believers on the racetrack of life, there is no substitute for a good beginning. No matter what the task or opportunity, how we begin sets the tone for how we'll end up. And the series that begins today has one purpose: to get you started right. Stay with us.
