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.

We cannot comprehend the transformation that awaits us. With glorified bodies, we will see all of creation reborn in a cosmic chorus of praise. The transcendent finale to the symphony of God’s glory is the end of time, and the beginning of a radiant eternity.

Believers know they will be raised at the return of Jesus, and that all who have ever believed will reign with Him for the ages to come. Today we will take a look at the end game of the glory of God.

Those who say there is no God have little hope on their deathbed.  But those who believe in Jesus know that their times of death are in God’s hands. We can glorify God when it is our turn to die.

Believers count on a life beyond this life. Meanwhile, we live to bring glory to God. Whether our days are many or few, all of us will die. We want to live in such a way that when life is over, God receives glory.
September 22, 2014
Through the Holy Spirit, a believer embarks on a journey whose end is being like Christ:  transformed from the inside out by the glory of God. This is how beholding God leads to our becoming like God.  
September 19, 2014
“And we with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.”  That change depends on believers renouncing sin in their lives.
