Interview, Part 5 of 5

Many of us look back on our lives and see the damages done by poor choices. Can we fix them? Wouldn’t it be great if the decisions we make tomorrow could be wise ones, made with the counsel of God, and choices that enriched lives? In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer gives us key steps to take in order to make tomorrow’s choices better than the ones we made yesterday.

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.

Sometimes our bad choices only affect us personally. But more often, they impact the lives of those around us. Bad decisions bring consequences, often in the lives of those close to us. How do we unravel the messes we make because we chose our own path, not the one God wanted us to follow? Or what about the messes we made before coming to Christ? Today we’ll have a discussion about handling messes like these.

As America’s economy keeps sagging, many hope that a get-rich-quick scheme will help them save their homes and futures. Most of us will never win a lottery. But all of us face the temptation to use easy credit. Building up mountains of debt, we bury ourselves too deep to dig out. What do you do when you’ve made a bad decision about money?

The fabric of society is ripping apart. Half of all marriages end in divorce, even among Christians. Too many people treat divorce as a way to handle having made a bad decision in choosing a marriage partner. It’s crucial that we learn to see the hand of God even in our bad choices, and find His grace to be sufficient to keep us on track.

Hindsight is 20-20. Anyone can see the results of a decision after it is made. It’s tough to predict the future. What do you do when you make a bad call and have to live with it? The Bible has many examples for us, and today we begin a series of discussions on Making the Best of a Bad Decision. There is hope, even if we’ve really messed things up.

Imagine this scene, the worship team stops singing, the screens go dark, the audience fidgets…“hey, what’s going on here?” Silence is uncomfortable. We want sensory input to fill all our waking hours. But the Bible teaches us to set it all aside, so that in the silence, you can hear the voice of God.

If you had to sit for one hour in a room that is totally quiet, it might come as quite a shock that the silence would be deafening. There are times when we must shut out the noises we’ve grown accustomed to. Turn off the TV, the radio, and iPod and you’ll find that what remains is the still, small voice of God.

It’s common courtesy to avoid tracking mud into someone’s home — before you enter a house you get cleaned up. Then you can have fellowship with your host. The same is true with God. Worship can’t begin until we are clean inside. Join us for some lessons from the Bible on how to prepare our hearts for real worship.

It’s become fashionable to consider worship a form of entertainment: the band plays, singers sing, and thus we “worship.” But real worship is not about how it makes us feel. Real worship is about ascribing worth to God whether we feel like it or not. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer gives us some straight talk about what worship is, and why it takes discipline to worship God properly.

Sometimes our prayers are not answered the way we’d like them to be. We can learn how to pray more effectively by looking at the prayers of Paul. Usually you’ll see a disconnect between the kinds of things he prayed for, and the things most of us pray for. We focus on our physical needs, while God wants to work on our motivations. Let’s learn to pray for the things God wants for us by praying His Word back to Him.

It’s amazing that the God of the universe wants to have a close personal relationship with each of His children here on Earth. Isaiah wrote, “They that wait upon the Lord shall run, and not be weary…”. We gain strength for life’s race by waiting on God through prayer, but only if we make it a priority. Today, we’ll find out what it means to have a consistent, meaningful prayer life.
