Secret Praying #2 of 2

June 15, 2011
We’ve all heard the Lord’s Prayer, either set to music or recited in church. Jesus gave us these words as a pattern. He gave this prayer to teach us how to pray. Today, we continue our look at the depth and breadth of meaning latent in these sacred words, and on the way we should each approach God with our petitions.

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

Every good athlete knows that success in front of the roaring crowd depends on those workouts done when no one was watching. In the race of life, success with God depends on time spent with Him in secret, time spent in the discipline of prayer. For many, prayer is mysterious, especially private prayer.

“….the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.....” the Bible’s words ring true for Christians. Money can be our idol and we can be its worshippers. God wants to break money’s binding hold on our hearts, and the key is giving in secret. Today we will find the key to breaking the shackles that cash has on your heart.

Good friends can keep secrets. In fact, one test of a relationship is how much you can trust someone. Our ultimate confidence is in God, with Whom we can safely entrust any secret. In fact, there are four secrets He wants us to share with Him, and when we do, we’ll experience some life-changing results.

In our day, few people see sin as a big deal. They dismiss sin as mistakes. That’s why many people will do anything to not face the horror of the cross of Christ. Only that sacrifice removes the stain of the sins we bear before a holy God. Today we will look at the redemptive plan of God as brought to focus on that cruel cross.

Conspiracy theorists tout all kinds of wild schemes and fill the internet with their blogs. For some time, the theory has circulated that Jesus did not die on the cross - He merely swooned, and woke up in a cool tomb. This is another lie about Jesus, a lie that tries to nullify the whole reason for His coming as a sacrifice for sin.

The Bible is clear: Jesus was born of a virgin and had no earthly father. In terms of salvation, that’s critical. The sinful nature we all share was never passed on to Jesus, so He could then be the perfect sacrifice for sin. Without that perfect sacrifice, none of us has a prayer of seeing eternal life with the Father.

People with a troubled past are said to have “skeletons in their closet.” Some say that Jesus has a big one in his. Some who look at the life of Jesus cannot accept any supernatural factors. Thus the virgin birth of Christ is dismissed as a myth. For these people, Jesus has a dark secret: who was his real father?

Why do people tell lies? Usually, because they have something to hide. And deep down, all of us have sin to hide. People are telling new lies about Jesus these days, lies that deflect their need of a Savior. Dr. Erwin Lutzer’s current series sheds light on five of these lies, and today we’re focusing on the lie that “Jesus Became the Christ.”

Some say that the Jesus who changed history was a just a man around whom many legends grew after his death. They say His disciples invented all sorts of stories to turn a simple teacher into the Messiah. In other words, the Jesus of history was given the role of Christ by His followers. Today: a look at a third major lie being propagated by those who reject the real Jesus.

The idea of “only one way to God” seems narrow-minded to many people. It is a common belief that all roads lead to heaven. But God has revealed one and only one way to Himself and that is through the blood of His son, Jesus Christ. Modern spiritual leaders decry any absolutes, except the right to be happy, healthy, and wealthy. Media stars say “God’s not fussy”…and too many of us believe them.
