The Breastplate of Righteousness #3 of 3
Friday, July 03, 2009
It's one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God. But it's another to put that knowledge to use when we find ourselves sinning every day. The devil keeps accusing us of falling short of God's standards. Today: some practical ways to wear "The Breastplate of Righteousness."

In some religions, the idea is: do as many good works as you can. At your judgment, you hope the good works outweigh the bad. Believers can rejoice that Jesus bestows His personal righteousness as a gift on those who are His. God sees our sins through the perfection of His Son, and can legally declare us as righteous as He is. This stops the devil in his tracks.

Inside, we all know that the slightest sin separates us from the white-hot purity of God. And we all commit sin. Satan the accuser points to us as Christians to say "Look at you. You sinned again. You have no right to stand before a holy God. Give up...there's no hope, you'll ever see heaven." But there is one way to stop his foul mouth cold. Today, you'll learn what it is.

The Belt of Truth #3 of 3
6/30/2009 - Tuesday
Go to any bookstore. There you'll find a plethora of authors spewing outright lies about the God revealed in the Bible. Whether it's about witchcraft, New Age spirituality, or pseudo-science, these books seek to muddy the clear waters God has given us in scripture. The onslaught is fierce, and we need a good defense...a defense like "The Belt of Truth" as revealed in Ephesians.

The Belt of Truth #2 of 3
6/29/2009 - Monday
It's as old as the Garden of Eden: Satan whispering lies into our ears, lies about the nature and character of God. We're all born with a propensity to believe those lies, lies that tell us that disobeying God is the path to true freedom. Before you bite into that apple, listen for a way to guard against falling for the devil's falsehoods.

The Belt of Truth #1 of 3
6/26/2009 - Friday
Like it or not, we're all in a spiritual war. We can either succumb to Satan's devices, or, wear God's armor and fight. The Apostle Paul revealed the weapons of the armor of God in the book of Ephesians. And the first weapon we've been given is "The Belt of Truth." Today, we'll find out why we need this weapon, and, how to best use it.

The Cosmic Conflict #3 of 3
6/25/2009 - Thursday
The peace of Eden's garden was shattered when sin entered the world. Down through the ages, the damage continues to mount. As believers in Jesus, our eyes have been opened to the reality of a spiritual war that never stops. Satan is determined to thwart God's work in your life, and in mine. His plan, however, is destined to utterly fail. And you and I have a part in winning this war.

The Cosmic Conflict #2 of 3
6/24/2009 - Wednesday
Our lives may seem peaceful, but always in the background is the sound of war. That's because there is a war going on. That war is in a place we cannot see. Demonic forces wage a battle against the saints of God on a daily basis, a battle that won't end until we enter the eternal state. Our job: learn to use God's weapons, that we may share in the ultimate victory.

The Cosmic Conflict #1 of 3
6/23/2009 - Tuesday
Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, terror attacks across the globe, war... it seems, is never far away. That's just on the plane of existence we can see. But beyond what our senses can discern is a greater war, a cosmic conflict of the ages being fought by Satan and his legions against the purposes and plans of God. Today, we lift the veil on "The Invisible War."

Getting Over It #3 of 3
6/22/2009 - Monday
The human condition: we're all born with a propensity to sin and a desire to seek revenge whenever we're attacked. But vengeance is not something we have a right to. The Bible declares that "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord." How do we adjust our instincts to agree with the scriptures? For some practical advice on letting go, please stay with us.

Getting Over It #2 of 3
6/19/2009 - Friday
Sometimes every instinct we have runs counter to what the Bible says to do. That's especially true of reconciliation. When someone attacks us, we want to attack back. But the Bible says, "Bless those who persecute you: bless and do not curse." Today: some hard lessons on resolving conflict, and helping ourselves and others get over past injustices.

Getting Over It #1 of 3
6/18/2009 - Thursday
Despite our best efforts, some people will refuse reconciliation, and hang on to their hurts until their knuckles turn white. Letting go of past injustice seems, for many, to be the ultimate insult. After all, those injustices give these people their reason to go on fighting. Today: a call for all who hold their hurts dear to give them up, and, be healed of their anger.

"Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven," Jesus said. Is He saying that man can tell God what to do? This verse from Matthew 18 has been controversial for centuries. Today, Erwin Lutzer will explain what this scripture means, and how it relates to the task we all have of seeking reconciliation between those in conflict. For some helpful insights, listen with us.

Series: Suffering Wrong
 
 
What do you do when a fellow believer sins and will not repent? Jesus told us what to do: invoke church discipline. It's never easy to confront a sinning Christian, so Jesus gave us teaching on how and when to do the necessary task of bringing that brother back to repentance and fellowship. Today: a look at the end game of reconciliation: what to do when nothing else works.

Series: Suffering Wrong
 
 
Someone said, "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." That's so true when it comes to reconciliation. People will stay divided until someone takes action: the action Jesus spoke of when He said, "Go to your brother." We can go alone, or with others when appropriate, but go we must if the cycle of mistrust is to be broken. Today: more lessons on making things right.

No one ever said that reconciliation is easy. It can be very hard. But this is certain: reconciliation is necessary. It can take years to form the deep divisions that keep families and former friends apart. And it may take time to heal those wounds. Today: we'll learn from the teachings of Jesus the steps to take to seek real reconciliation and find it.

Jesus never complained when He suffered. So why do we haul fellow believers into court when we think we've been cheated? Maybe it's too many courtroom shows on TV. We think we can get justice from unbelieving judges. In reality, God wants us to get our justice from His hand. Today: why it's better to suffer wrong than to tarnish the name of Jesus in a court of law.

Series: Suffering Wrong
 
 
Making sure you get justice is a big deal in the world's value system. That's why so many people file lawsuits. When Christians absorb the world's values, they file lawsuits along with everybody else. The Bible tells us that such actions defame the cause of Christ. Today: a call for believers to act like believers - people who let God be their final bar of justice.

Series: Suffering Wrong
 
 
It's almost fashionable to sue someone these days. Court dockets are full as people demand payback for injustice. Sadly, too many of these cases involve Christians, in clear violation of the New Testament. The Apostle Paul has some pointed words for those of us who'd like nothing better than to stick it to a fellow believer in court. Get set for some counter-cultural teaching, and by all means, stay with us.

Dodging Spears #3 of 3
6/8/2009 - Monday
"I just wish he'd stop it!" When you're under constant attack, you cry out for God to intervene, to end the long misery. When God deposed King Saul, David was anointed to be king of Israel. Well, Saul didn't go quietly. Instead, he pursued David with spears for ten years. So, what lessons was God teaching David, and perhaps, you and me?

Dodging Spears #2 of 3
6/5/2009 - Friday
Saul did not like it when God removed him as Israel's king. He spent ten years trying to kill his replacement: David. Like David, some of us have been on the receiving end of spears thrown by those who hate us. Today: a look at some of the techniques people will use to destroy those they despise, and how believers should respond when they are attacked.
