To Tell The Truth #1 of 2
May 19, 2011
For some reason, we humans make a distinction between big lies and small lies. To us, telling a “white lie” is OK. But it’s not OK with God. Believers running the race of life need to tell the truth if they want to win. Lying violates prime directive number nine in the Bible, and losing that lying tongue is where we’re headed on today’s broadcast.

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.

Few of us commit adultery, fewer still would kill, but most of us would be found guilty if confronted about stealing. Those who want to be victorious runners in life’s race need to lose the baggage of guilt they carry from thefts, both large and small. That’s how far we have come in our study of the eighth commandment. Pastor Lutzer will give some closing thoughts on stealing.

Most people say “What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is yours.” But then there are those who say “what’s yours is mine.” It’s more than bank robberies and burglary. People steal from their employers with hardly a second thought. We seem to forget that stealing any private property violates one of the Ten Commandments.

It’s dangerous to get too close to a fire and to get too close to sexual sin. The price is too high. That’s why the seventh commandment teaches us to avoid all forms of sexual sin. That means faithfulness to the wife or husband God gives us. The result: a life free from the entanglements that can stop us in our tracks.

Each of us has a strong desire for intimacy. But keeping our sex drives under control is one of our biggest challenges. Runners in the race of the Christian life know that sex in its proper place is a great gift, while passions out of control can ruin one’s future. That’s why God gave us commandment number seven. It’s still in force, even in a sex-mad culture.

There is a connection: learning how to submit to your parents when you’re young makes it easier to submit to God when you’re old. Those who run life’s race know that the track is smoother when things are right with mom and dad. Good relationships mean happiness, bad ones bring sorrow. Today: more teaching on God’s command designed to ensure stable homes and well-adjusted families.

American families are breaking apart faster than they are being formed. Even families still together feel the strain. Millennia ago, God gave us the Ten Commandments as a blueprint for living. Our failure to follow commandment number six is a big reason for the dismal state many families find themselves in. Today: the key to having happy and stable families.

There’s something final about murder. Taking a life means there’s no way back. God views murder very seriously. At the bedrock of the Law of God is the prohibition against taking innocent life. Yet hundreds of people are killed every year in each of our major cities. Life is cheap, and gets cheaper when convicted killers never pay the price God commanded.

There’s one sure way to stop someone else from running the race of life. That is to do what we see on TV countless times every night. Murder: it’s now so common that we aren’t fazed by it much anymore. But the taking of innocent life breaks one of the cardinal commandments of God. And since Roe versus Wade, that commandment has been broken untold millions of times.

Every athlete knows that the body cannot be run indefinitely. We labor, and then we rest. That’s how we’re designed. God made it clear that all of us need to observe a day of rest. The concept is so important that he made it into one of the Ten Commandments. Nowadays, Sunday is just another day to shop, work, or be on the move: not a day for reflection, meditation and prayer.

A century ago, British Olympian Eric Liddell shocked the world by refusing to run on Sunday. The royal family was furious. Eric was made famous in the movie “Chariots of Fire,” holding fast to his conviction that the Lord’s Day was sacred, and not to be used for sport. These days, many of us look forward to Sunday football games. Have we gone off track?
