Rebuilding the Foundations, Part 1 of 2 (Fighting for Your Family)

January 1, 2014

The Psalmist cried out “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”  (11:3). The family is under attack by the devil and his political cohorts, all determined to destroy marriage, your kids and the moral values taught in the Scriptures.

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.

People accept the fact of only one speed of light, and only one moon around the earth.  But only one way to God? Say that, and you’re ignored at best, hated at worst. The claims of Jesus to be the exclusive path to eternal life force us to decide:  do I go with my instincts, or do I go with Jesus?

It’s a force you cannot see, but can certainly feel. This force is everywhere, telling people what’s okay for them to believe. That force is political correctness, and when it comes to the Christian faith, it comes in full strength. How do we witness for Christ in a day when people tolerate everything but the truth?

Some people think that since “all roads lead to Rome,” all religions must lead to God.  This is an enormous mistake. If your life was at stake in a hospital, you’d want the truth about your condition.  Your life is at stake eternally.  And finding the truth about your spiritual condition and its remedy has to be a top priority.

Tolerance is a big deal these days, and we’re all for tolerance. But there is one thing many people cannot tolerate. You can believe anything you want, but you cannot say you have the truth, without offending those around you. And when you say that Jesus is the truth, people become unglued.

It’s time to pick up the wrappings and watch as the kids play with their new toys. The race of Christmas is over. If you’re about to run to the store to return some gifts, remember this:  the holiday has its roots in a far different culture of a very different time and place.  
December 25, 2013
At last, the shopping race is over. No more running around for last minute gifts. Now, we can collect our thoughts. We can spend time with family, and reflect on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. On this special day, take a few minutes and consider Christmas from a different viewpoint, from a place far away and a time long, long ago.

December 25th was not the day Jesus was born, but it is the date set aside for us to honor that birth. For Mary His mother, that birth began a long period of pain and sorrow, a personal toll we seldom consider during this time of year. 
December 23, 2013
Soon we will celebrate the central event in human history; the coming of Jesus Christ to live among us. While Christians can now enjoy the benefits of the Savior’s birth, life, death and resurrection, there was one person who felt great pain when He came. Today we will seek to understand the real cost of Christmas to the mother who later had to watch her Son be put to death.

In ancient societies, shepherds had the low rung on the ladder. Their jobs were smelly, and the hours were long. When Jesus was born, the heavenly host of angels did not appear to the ruling elite. Instead, they appeared to the humblest people they could find: shepherds in the hills of Bethlehem.
December 19, 2013
A lot of people have misconceptions about angels. In the Bible, the word “angel” simply means “messenger.” These beings serve God in heaven and on earth, doing His bidding.  When they massed over Bethlehem the night Jesus was born, they heralded the greatest message that has ever been sent.
