God and the United States, Part 3 of 3
May 3, 2012
An Alabama courthouse. A granite monument engraved with the Ten Commandments. A judge who believed they should stay there. The struggle over the public viewing of God's law led to Chief Justice Roy Moore being ousted from office. God is being systematically excluded from public life, and today we'll learn more about His judgment on America.

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.

Somewhere along the line, we got the idea that God's only desire for America is to bless her — no matter what her people do. We need to understand that God judges the nations when they violate His commands. He judged His own nation, Israel, by using the armies of nearby pagan nations against it. Today Dr. Lutzer will share more details about God's purposes among the nations, and why we should not assume that if "you're okay, I'm okay."

Many of us have the idea that God owes us a favor. After all, we're Americans, the defenders of democracy. But as we run the race of life, we should ask ourselves if God really owes us anything. After examining the evidence, we may just have to conclude that what He owes us is His judgment.

The blessings of God are not constitutional rights. They are bestowed on people and nations that follow His commands. God’s judgment on the nations takes many forms: natural disasters, the deprivation of personal freedoms, wars, and deafened ears toward God. Tune in today as we take a look at two final forms of judgment which are very evident in America today.

When children disobey, parents discipline them in different ways. Likewise, when God judges a nation, He also has many ways of doing it. As events seem to be spinning out of control around us, let us review the means by which God may judge our nation in the days ahead.

The Bible gives us words of encouragement as well as words of warning. It is our obligation to understand and heed both. Few of us would make the wrath of God our first choice for a Bible study. Yet God’s prophets thundered the words of His judgment to the people of their day. God’s warnings to the nations have not changed.

The Old Testament prophets brought many messages of God’s judgment on both men and nations — messages we would not like to hear. Many of us would rather celebrate the positive than face up to the negative. We forget that the first public words of Jesus were “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Tune in today for a bottom-line analysis of what God’s judgment on the nations means.

When you hear about all the sins for which God judges nations, you get the uncomfortable feeling that your nation might be next. Unprincipled expansion, arrogance, and violence are national sins one, two, and three. America’s guilt may be better described by sins four and five: indifference to God and the acceptance of witchcraft. Today we will take a look at the real prospect of God’s present day hand of judgement.

The Bible is a guidebook for living. In its pages we find what God wants us to do and what not to do. The same holds true for the nations. The Scriptures list at least seven sins for which God promises to hold nations accountable, sins that grow out of their leaders’ desires for power and control.

Sometimes it seems that the bad guys keep winning. Terrorism and mayhem are everywhere. Some ask, “Is God still in control?” We need to understand that justice delayed is not justice denied. There will be a day of reckoning for both men and nations. Today we will look at how God judges the nations who violate His commands.

We have all seen bomb-laden terrorists waving their guns and shouting “death to America” on TV. How should we respond? Some cower in fear. Others brandish bigger weapons. But believers can have confidence that God is in charge even if another 9/11 happens. Should we defend the nation? You bet. Should we give in to fear? Not on your life.
