When You Need a Miracle #2 of 2
September 10, 2008
What do you think is the greatest miracle that has ever taken place? God creating a trillion stars? Or billions of living things? No, as Erwin Lutzer explains it, God's greatest miracle was the Word becoming flesh as expressed in the gospel of John chapter one 1 verse 14. Today: why that miracle reigns supreme, and why it matters more than any other miracle we could experience.

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.

When all your options are gone, when there is no other way, when your back is against the wall...well, what do you pray for? A miracle. All of us have hoped for one at one time or another. Miracles: what are they? What is their purpose? And do we see them today? For an eye-opening look at the real deal on miracles, like those performed by Jesus, stay with us.

When a potter throws clay on his wheel, that clay has no choice about what it's going to become. Its job: sit there and be shaped. Seeing ourselves as clay helps us avoid the "I'm in charge" attitude we all too often have. As the Potter, God's in charge, and He has a purpose we cannot see, a purpose that will take us through the fire so that, one day, we'll come out as gold.

We humans tend to think we're hot stuff. We think we're in control, little realizing that someone else sets the agenda. Many believers have never seen themselves as clay on a potter's wheel, being molded to suit the Potter's purposes. But the sooner we understand that, the sooner we'll be fruitful members of the body of Christ. Today: lessons from a wheel and a furnace, during a trip to Israel.

To win a major race, runners lose extra weight. They cast off everything that might slow them down on their way to victory. Believers are commanded to love God supremely, and cast off every weight and sin that besets them. Then, they can run life's race at top speed, knowing that the goal line will bring them face to face with the God they love. How's your race going today?

At the racetrack, a runner is driven by the thought of victory. The race is worth all the effort with the prize waiting at the end. Believers are to run life's race for Christ, who taught us that the first and greatest commandment is to love God with all our hearts, souls and minds. Now that's a tall order, one we'll explore today on our broadcast. Do you and I love God this way? If not, stay with us.

When a man or woman is converted to Christ, many deep-seated desires change. We become givers rather than takers. God's desire is that we see our money as a trust to manage, not a possession to squander. Running life's race successfully has a financial component: a component that we'll summarize on today's broadcast.

"The love of money is the root of all evil." Christians running the race of life frequently get tripped up by issues of money and those issues revolve around ownership. Whose money is it really? Is it mine to do with as I please, or am I just taking care of it for someone else? Jesus had much to say about money, and if we're serious about crowning Him Lord, we must heed His words.

Not all of us can win the hundred-meter dash. But all of us can run to the best of our ability. That's all a coach can expect. For every track star in the Olympics, there are ten thousand runners who will never make the team. But that's no reason to give up. Many believers with few talents approach life with a clenched fist rather than an open hand. Today we'll see why God prefers the latter.

We're not all made the same. Some are more talented than others. But all believers run life's race toward a heavenly goal. We've all been given gifts and abilities. But it's how we use them, not how many we've got, that determines the outcome of our personal race. Rather than jealously complaining about what we don't have, let's focus today on how to best use the gifts we do have.

At the racetrack, coaches watch their athletes, stopwatches in hand. Because for a runner, time is how victory is measured. The same is true for Christians in life's race. How we use our time determines our effectiveness for God. At the end of this life, we'll be judged on our deeds...deeds that took place as the clock ticked off the minutes, days, and years.
