Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

When Loyalties Collide #2 of 2

November 18, 2010
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?” Erwin Lutzer says “yes.”

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.

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 the agendas of 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, Erwin Lutzer tells the story of a cab driver with a horrid past, a man who needed a friend.

As someone once said, “The church is wonderful….I love the church…..it’s the people in the church that I can’t stand…” Well, we’re not in the Garden of Eden anymore. When disagreements and personal agendas rise to the surface, frictions can occur even between believers. Today, Erwin Lutzer exposes a not-so-secret secret: Christians don’t always get along.

Despite the wide variety of Christian denominations these days, you will find some common elements in them all. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are two sacraments all Christians observe in one way or another. Today, Erwin Lutzer tells us what we share as fellow believers, despite our differences, and gives us a big-picture view of the church from God’s perspective.

Some critics of Christianity look at its thousands of denominations and splinter groups that call themselves Christian and they wonder “where is the unity is that Jesus talked about?” There’s no doubt that opinions and Bible interpretations vary widely.   So how should a believer handle the fact that the faith is represented in so many different ways?

Persecution of Christians is on the way up in America, giving today’s believers a taste of what the early church had to face. The word of God gives clear direction on how Christians should respond to an antagonistic culture. It also tells us how not to respond. Today, Erwin Lutzer summarizes how to live in a godly way in an increasingly godless society.

These days, the problem with the word “love” is one of definition…people “love” their cars and “love” new fashions. But millennia ago, the Apostle Paul wrote the ultimate essay on love. After you master First Corinthians chapter 13, you’ll know what real love is, and isn’t. Today: more details on God’s view of love - the kind He shows us, and the kind we’re to show to others.

The world has little interest in the doctrines that Christians believe. But it takes notice when believers love one another. As someone has said, our lives are the books that people read every day. And those outside the church are drawn to experience the love that we as believers share. Today: a look at why we do what we do, and what our underlying motive must be if we’re to reach the lost.

In the body of Christ the strong help the weak, and the healthy help the ailing. No one has to face life’s tough times alone. As each member of the body first submits to God and then serves others, the whole body thrives. Sometimes, economic hardship takes its toll, and so, today, we’ll hear some practical words on how we can support each other in times of need.
