The Breastplate of Righteousness, Part 2 of 2 (The Invisible War)
November 14, 2013
It’s one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God, but it is another to put that knowledge to use when we find ourselves sinning every day. The devil keeps accusing us of falling short of God’s standards.

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.

Inside, we all know that the slightest sin separates us from the white-hot purity of God. And we all commit sin. Satan the accuser points to us as Christians to say “Look at you. You sinned again. You have no right to stand before a holy God. Give up, there is no hope you’ll ever see heaven.” But there is one way to stop him cold.

The first lie ever told was from Satan in the Garden of Eden. “Has God said…” the serpent hissed, planting seeds of doubt. He’s still hissing that same old song today, trying to get believers to either doubt the Scriptures or ignore them altogether. It is all part of his strategy in “The Invisible War.” We need to wear “The Belt of Truth” to ward off these demonic temptations.

New army recruits are given weapons during basic training. The idea is to learn how to use them well for the day of battle. God has provided several weapons we as believers use to fight “The Invisible War.” The Apostle Paul names them in Ephesians chapter six, in a list he calls “the armor of God.” Today, we enter basic training to learn how to use weapon number one.

Our lives may seem peaceful, but always in the background is the sound of war. That is because there is a war going on in a place we cannot see Demonic forces wage a battle against the saints of God on a daily basis, a battle that will not end until we enter the eternal state. Our job is to learn to use God’s weapons so that we may share in the ultimate victory.

War, it seems, is never far away – and that is just on the plane of existence we can see. But beyond what our senses can discern is a greater war, a cosmic conflict of the ages, being fought by Satan and his legions against the purposes and plans of God. Today, we lift the veil on “The Invisible War.”

It is unthinkable that two plus two could ever equal five. But more unthinkable are recent Supreme Court decisions in America. The Defense of Marriage Act? Unconstitutional. California’s Proposition 8 prohibiting gay marriage? Again, unconstitutional. Powerful politics from small sectors of society are determining our nation’s future. Today we will look at some directives to the church from Erwin Lutzer as we face the erosion of morality.

The U.S. Supreme Court chambers are adorned with a large display of the Ten Commandments. Recent decisions of the Supreme Court contradict the standards listed in those commands. The long road to American ruin is not only here, we are nearing its end.

We can still enjoy July 4 fireworks, but for many Christians, the liberties we celebrate are now being sharply curtailed. Under pressure from agenda-driven groups, what was once free speech is now a federal crime. In the public schools, tax money is used to indoctrinate our kids in the homosexual lifestyle. Is there a time to stand up and say “no?” Pastor Lutzer says that now is the time.

For a long time, Christians could comfortably wave the American flag, since they saw their values represented in “Old Glory….” Now the government is repressing the freedoms Christians once had, favoring those desiring same–sex marriage and unrestricted abortion. When the red, white and blue no longer blends with the cross of Christ, what do believers do?

Like snowflakes, no two people are alike. The differences bring great variety, but they can also plant seeds of conflict. Each of us is wired from birth to put self first. Only the Spirit of God can smooth the rough edges and help us extend ourselves in blessing to others. Today, Dr. Erwin Lutzer tells the story of a cab driver with a horrid past, a man who needed a friend.
