Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God Is More Tolerant than He Used to Be, Part 3 of 4

February 8, 2012
For too many of us, very little is permanent. Fads come and go. We forget that God never changes. His love never changes. His justice never changes. His opinion of our sin never changes either. Today you’ll hear more about the lie that God is more tolerant than He used to be — a lie we must all renounce.

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.

In the Old Testament, sin was judged quickly and harshly. Nowadays it seems that sin goes virtually unpunished. Why? The answer lies in the distinction between God’s character and His administration of creation. Today we will learn why believing that God has changed is tantamount to believing a dangerous lie — one you cannot afford to believe.

Since many believe man evolved, they also think God has evolved. No longer mean, He is now a gentler, kinder God. And that is lie number two in our series about God: the lie that God is more tolerant than He used to be. Get set, because today, another myth is going to be debunked.

For some reason, many of us would be more mindful of proper protocol in meeting the President than we would be in meeting God. We are learning that God can only be approached through the right mediator: and that mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ. Today Dr. Lutzer shares some final thoughts on the great lie that we can come to God in any way we want.

A lot of people think they can come to God any way they like, not realizing that He can only be approached in one way. Pause in your daily race of life and consider that your thoughts about God might be fundamentally wrong. Lay aside your preconceptions and listen to what God Himself says. We will learn how to find Him and why coming to God only happens through the right sacrifice.

It is popular to think that we can approach God on our own terms. It is said, “All roads lead to Rome.” Although humans believe this, the Bible does not endorse it. In fact, it says quite the opposite. Far from offering a spiritual smorgasbord, the Bible insists that there is only one way to approach the Almighty. Before you buy into “pick your favorite God,” listen to today’s broadcast.

If you believe a lie long enough, for you it becomes the truth. Many of us harbor falsehoods that can send us to hell. Please stop in your race of life long enough to consider that you may be among those who believe wrongly about God. This is serious stuff, nothing is more important than what you believe about Him.

Some see the gospel like the Augusta Golf Club, too exclusive. They would much rather have a menu of beliefs to choose from. “After all, you have your truth and I have mine,” they say. Today, we will see that God only has one way to Himself, and it is a way He has designed. Our obligation is to believe what He has revealed about His Son, and thereby find eternal life.

Not even the most egotistical guru has ever said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Only Jesus said that. Today: a challenge to those who say that Jesus was just another great teacher – the truth is that He is either a liar, a madman, or God in the flesh. There are no other alternatives. What do you think of Jesus?

People accept the fact of only one speed of light, and only one moon around the earth. But only one way to God? Say that, and you are ignored at best, hated at worst. The claims of Jesus to be the exclusive path to eternal life force us to decide: do I go with my instincts, or do I go with Jesus?

It is a force you cannot see, but you can certainly feel. It is everywhere, telling people what is okay for them to believe. That force is political correctness, and when it comes to the Christian faith, it is out in full strength. Today we focus on how we should witness in a day when people tolerate everything but the truth.
