Death To Self-Will #2 of 2
January 4, 2011
Running away from the will of God is not a good idea. The problem is that God knows where you’re going even before you do, Jonah was determined to avoid doing a distasteful job: preaching to a pagan city that they might repent. Here we have a prophet who’d rather hit the road than tell the Ninevites that judgment could be averted. Today: God blocks Jonah’s escape route.

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.

“That guy? He’s as stubborn as a mule.” That’s how we describe people who won’t listen to reason, no matter what we say. God has many ways of getting us to say yes, even when we’re digging in our heels. We are about to embark on a study in the life of the prophet Jonah. As we do, we’ll find that God has a multitude of creative ways to make sure we change our minds.

“I am He who lives, and was dead. And behold, I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of death and of Hades.” The glorified Jesus spoke these words in revealing to the Apostle John what was yet to come in the book of Revelation. Man’s greatest need is not economic security. It’s a future after death. Only Jesus can provide that future. Today: hope for the coming year.

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 OK for them to believe. That force is political correctness, and when it comes to the Christian faith, it’s out in full strength. Today: how to witness for Christ in a day when people tolerate everything but the truth, and even deny that truth exists.

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 would 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 “job one.” Today: more about why Jesus is the only road that leads to God.

Tolerance: it’s a big deal these days, and we are 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. Today, a look at why Jesus is the only way to God, modern pundits notwithstanding.

It’s Christmas Eve, and the glow of the lights in the tree can be seen in the eyes of kids eagerly awaiting the opening of presents. How different from that night in Bethlehem, where a poor couple was turned away from a decent room and had to make do where the animals were kept. And there, to give birth to the Son of God. Today: some thoughts about that first Christmas from the perspective of heaven.

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. They passed by local middle class merchants. Instead, they appeared to the humblest people they could find: shepherds in the hills of Bethlehem, shepherds tending sacrificial sheep for the temple.

A lot of people have misconceptions about angels. Some see them as heavenly versions of Casper the Friendly Ghost, but 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 Bethelem the night Jesus was born, they heralded the greatest message that has ever been sent.

After the last prophet’s writings, the voice of God fell silent in Israel for four hundred years. Then, one day a brilliant light flooded the skies over a sleepy town south of Jerusalem. Myriads of angels announced the coming of a Savior, who was Christ the Lord. These messengers of God proclaimed the greatest news sinful mankind would ever hear.
