Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Nations In Prophecy #3 of 3

April 22, 2008
Most people go about their everyday lives with no regard for the eternity they will face as either sheep or goats. When Jesus spoke of coming judgment in Matthew chapter 25, He made it clear that there are only two destinies for any of us. Today: some concluding thoughts about the future, and why today is the day to believe on the Christ who can save us from its terrors.

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.

Jesus once spoke of a coming judgment of the nations, a judgment that is designed to separate the sheep from the goats. It is found in Matthew chapter 25, and this judgment is based on how well the hungry and needy were treated while on earth. Today: we will try to understand what this prediction means in the light of the rest of the New Testament.

On our plane of existence things sure are a mess...terrorism, wars, nuclear threats, the Middle East in turmoil. Aren't you glad there is Someone in charge who lives on another plane of existence? God has not left the nations to their own devices. An Unseen Hand is guiding the forces of history toward His conclusion. And, through Bible prophecy, we can understand the last chapter of the story.

An Alabama courthouse...a granite monument engraved with the Ten Commandments...and a judge who believed they should stay there. The struggle over the public viewing of God's law to man led to Chief Justice Roy Moore being ousted from office: evidence that God is being systematically excluded from public life. Today: more about the judgment of God on America.

Somewhere, somehow, we got the idea that God's only desire for America is to bless her, no matter what her people do. We need to get real. God judges nations when they violate His commands. He judged His own nation Israel by using the armies of nearby pagan nations against it. Today: more details about God's purposes among the nations, and why we should not assume that if "you are OK, I am OK."

Somehow, many of us have the idea that God owes us His favor. After all, we are Americans, the defenders of democracy. As we run the race of life, let us ask ourselves if God owes us anything. After examining the evidence, we might have to conclude that what He owes us is His judgment. Today: we will consider what God thinks of the US of A.

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

When our children disobey, we as parents have many creative ways of punishing them to try to prevent future disobedience. And when God judges a nation, He also has many ways of doing it. As events seem to be careening out of control around us, let us take a moment to review the means God may use in judging even 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 words of His judgment to the people of their day. God's warnings to the nations have not changed. Have we? Today: a look at what God's wrath is all about.
April 10, 2008
The Old Testament prophets brought many messages of God's judgment on men and nations...messages we would rather not 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." Today, a bottom-line analysis of what God's judgment of the nations means to you and me.

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 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: a hard look at the real prospect of God's judging hand in our day.
