Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God's Glory in Our Church, Part 2 of 3 (Nothing Else Matters)

March 6, 2017

With Jesus as its cornerstone, the Church has a rock-solid foundation. As believers, we’re part of that building, since we’re called “living stones” by the Apostle Peter. Here is more about the Church that Jesus founded, and our part in that divine structure.

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.

Believers attend church to meet God, and further extend His glory. We gather to express to God His worth to us: that’s what the word “worship” is all about.

Believers running the race of life need a sharp focus on that race. Having that focus clears out a lot of life’s cobwebs. If our objective is the glory of God, our daily decisions get easier, our time is better used, and our joy is greatly increased.

God’s glory is easy to lose sight of. All it takes is one small sin. In Moses’ day, the glory of God would come and go. In the end, it departed, as the sins of Israel caused God to draw back His favor. Could this be true even today?

One day, believers will walk the streets of the New Jerusalem. Our sole focus will be the praise and worship of Almighty God. If this is true, is it not reasonable that God’s glory should be our focus now?

As we mature in the faith, we come to realize more and more that it’s not about us. It’s about God, whose glory fills the heavens. When we see our lives as part of a much larger plan, we understand that enhancing God’s glory is the bottom line.

Believers are commanded to love God supremely, and to cast off every weight and sin that besets them. Then, they can run life’s race at top speed, knowing that the finish line will bring them face to face with the God they love.

Believers are to give God first place in their lives, running life’s race for no other reason than to express their love for Him. In fact, we’re commanded to love God supremely; everything else takes second place.

Believers are to run life’s race for Christ, who taught us to love God with all our being as the first and greatest commandment. This is a tall order, but Dr. Lutzer will help us understand what that means for us today.

When a man or woman believes in Christ, many deep-seated desires change. We become givers rather than takers, and God wants us to see our money as a trust to manage, not a possession to squander.
February 21, 2017
Believers in the race of life need to come to grips with money. Many of us grip our pocketbooks until our knuckles turn white. Yet God wants us to understand the joy of generosity.
