LISTEN TO TODAY'S BROADCAST
God's Great Universe #3 of 4
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
Evolution's biggest problem? The first millisecond of the Big Bang. How did anything come out of absolutely nothing?

For most under evolution's sway, the evidence and facts do not matter. Their objection is more moral than scientific. If there is a God, He's an inconvenient truth, and so, He must go. Today we'll see why He isn't going anywhere, and why His creation is ample evidence of a genius Designer.

There's no denying it. At root, all of us are sexual creatures, with appetites given to us by God to be used as He intended. And since we all have sexual desires, it's easy to be trapped into satisfying those desires outside of God's will by putting sex in the wrong context. Today: a probing look at the damage done by the flood of pornography on the internet and in our media.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
One would think that committed Christians have little chance of becoming alcoholics. But the snare of drinking can tempt anyone. As one drink leads to another, a believer can become chemically dependent, and join the ranks of those attending Alcoholics Anonymous. Christians are not exempt from the deadly snare of drinking and the damage it can do. Today: some final thoughts about alcoholism.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
A drink: once in the bloodstream, alcohol messes with your mind and your judgment, and it loosens your moral anchor. Alcohol, in its various forms, is a trap baited with the promise of "the good life." In reality, it can wreck your life. There are lots of reasons to avoid alcohol, and very few reasons to indulge in it. Today: more sobering truth about alcoholism.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
"Just one more"...most alcoholics say they can stop drinking whenever they want. Problem is, "whenever" never comes. Christians are not immune from the pull of alcohol, and the chance of a life ruined as a result. Sadly, one destroyed life invariably takes other lives with it. Today: you'll hear more sobering truth about alcoholism: the bondage of drink.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
Drunk drivers...every day they kill more of our kids (FX: crash). Alcohol: it's the tolerated drug. Alcohol abuse is costing our society billions in lost productivity, lost relationships, and lost lives. Forget those alluring TV commercials and slick magazine ads. Today: you're going to hear the truth about alcoholism. Stay with us.

Down deep, every gambler knows that the house always wins. Yet, like a drug, gambling turns dabblers into addicts. You can't walk the Las Vegas strip without noting the billions of dollars in shiny real estate...all paid for by tourist gambling losses. Gambling is a trap that can ruin the race of life. Today: why the best defense is to run in the other direction.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
Gamblers place their god of chance above the God of the Bible. They trust in dice, the slots, and the Powerball lottery, but God calls all of this idolatry...looking anywhere but to Him for our sustenance. With apologies to those whose churches offer games of chance, we'd like you to know why God and gambling are mutually incompatible. Please stay with us.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
The Bible says "work for a living, and trust God." The culture says "gamble for your big break, and trust yourself." Who's right? You've guessed it. God is right. Nearly every dollar gambled is lost, taking money from more needful areas of life. And the few who win find their new wealth just puts them in bondage. Today: four reasons why gambling violates the Bible's teaching.

Gambling: Don't Bet On It #1 of 4
10/15/2009 - Thursday
Casinos know gambling is a lousy deal, except for them. They call it "gaming" instead. Whatever the label, it's bad news. From lottery tickets to video poker, gambling spells big trouble, taking money from those who can least afford it, those hoping for a "big break." We recommend a break all right, a listening break right now to break the gambling habit. Please stay with us.

Greed: The Heart Revealed #4 of 4
10/14/2009 - Wednesday
It's easy to spot greed in others. You can tell when people are lusting after money or other things, you see it in their faces. But the trouble is that often we can't see it in ourselves and that greed has just as solid a foothold on us as in anyone else. So polish up that mirror and get set to take a long look. Today, we learn some tough lessons on how to lose the greed we all share down deep.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
Even in a tough economy, it seems the rich keep getting richer, building bigger barns to store all the stuff they're buying. Jesus says those who accumulate money and things might be in for a rude shock. After all, none of us can hitch our U-Hauls to a hearse. Getting a grip on the greed we all share: that's our focus on today's broadcast. Please stay with us.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
I Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith, in their greed." Paul goes on to say that the greedy "pierce themselves through with many sorrows." Grabbing that fast buck is a trap that has sunk many a Christian, and, many a ministry. Today: a look in the mirror, as the greedy heart is revealed. Stay with us.

Series: Seven Secret Snares
 
 
In good or bad times, even committed Christians feel the tug of money. Greed lies like a serpent within us and is the first of the Seven Secret Snares that Erwin Lutzer is exposing during his current series. So how is it with you and your money? Or better, with you and someone else's money? How do you feel when someone else wins the lottery? Please stay tuned.

Welcome To The War #3 of 3
10/8/2009 - Thursday
"Not my fault!" These days it's common to blame everyone else for our conflicts...everyone except the sinner within. James tells Christians that conflicts come from inner desires at war with the purposes of God. There's no point in "pointing the finger" elsewhere...our troubles begin...within. Get used to it: your life is a battleground, and Satan wants to win.

Welcome To The War #2 of 3
10/7/2009 - Wednesday
Tension...quarrels...fights...at one time or another, all of us find ourselves in conflict with someone else. It's no fun. Even Christians have a dark side...desires within that can snare us on the race of life. The Bible says, "Take heed, lest you fall." Any of us can tumble off the spiritual mountaintop, because the war within each believer is very real.

Welcome To The War #1 of 3
10/6/2009 - Tuesday
The track you're running on may look okay, but lurking ahead is a trap. One wrong step and you're on a side road...permanently. The world is no friend to the committed Christian. Temptations abound which can ruin your life and the lives of others. Today: a big-picture view of a great battle...as the enemy of your soul seeks to do you in. Heed the warnings for the road ahead...and stay with us.

The Christian life: joy, assurance, and deep satisfaction. But it's also a life of suffering. Can these co-exist? Today, we'll learn why faith always leads to ultimate victory, but may not change our immediate circumstances. We'll come full-circle in our series on unanswered prayer, and then, find ourselves content with the God to Whom we pray.

Series: The Triumph Of Unanswered Prayer
 
 
We Americans have short attention spans. We're used to soundbite news, fast food, and immediate solutions to problems. However, many people pray for years, asking God for deliverance from appalling situations. The answers never seem to come. So, faith is not getting what we want...faith says we accept what God gives us. Please stay tuned.

Series: The Triumph Of Unanswered Prayer
 
 
All around us are people with long term health issues...issues that seem to have no resolution, short of divine healing. But when these people pray for healing, the answer appears to be an ongoing "no." They hear the verse, "my strength is made perfect in weakness," and sadly wish that their answer had been "here's the healing you seek." Are you disappointed with God today? Stay with us.

When The Answer Is Denied #3 of 3
9/30/2009 - Wednesday
When Christians find themselves in a time of need, they naturally pray for God to provide. Sometimes the answer is "no...." How we then react is crucial. We must come to understand that even the "no" answers are still answers, and that God is fully aware of our needs and what is best for us. Today: why our faith can grow even when the answer is no.
