The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power.

From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

As runners in life’s race, believers need to understand the clash of cross and culture. As citizens of both heaven and earth, we have obligations to both, obligations we must keep distinct, especially at election time.

The cross of Christ is inherently in conflict with our culture, especially when the media flaunts immorality as normal. Politicians vie for position on issues the Bible settled long ago. Thankfully, the cross can do what politics can’t.

Many Christians active in politics find themselves increasingly at odds with the culture.  That is because the cross of Christ is inherently at odds with the culture. Today we begin a series on Why the Cross Can Do What Politics Can’t.

We cannot comprehend the transformation that awaits us. With glorified bodies, we will see all of creation reborn in a cosmic chorus of praise. The transcendent finale to the symphony of God’s glory is the end of time, and the beginning of a radiant eternity.

One day, the chaos of earthquakes and tsumanis will be no more. All of creation will resound with the glory of God, free from the curse of the fall that left creation groaning, waiting for its rebirth. God will reign supreme over a new earth.

Our sins slow us down in the race of life. But for believers, sin will be no more in the eternity yet to be. With nothing between us and God, our joy will be boundless.

Believers know they will be raised at the return of Jesus, and that all who have ever believed will reign with Him for the ages to come. Today we will take a look at the end game of the glory of God.
September 19, 2014
Believers have a realistic view both of life, and its conclusion. They know that God has for them a life that never ends. We are to glorify God, whether by life or by death.  
September 18, 2014
Those who say there is no God have little hope on their deathbed.  But those who believe in Jesus know that their times of death are in God’s hands. 
September 17, 2014
Believers count on a life beyond this life. Meanwhile, we live to bring glory to God.  Whether our days are many or few, all of us will die. We want to live in such a way that, when life is over, God receives glory.
