The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

Some theologians see our lives as a chessboard. We make a move, and then God responds with a countermove. They feel that God gives us free will, and then adapts Himself to our choices as we make them. But what does the Bible say?

Violent weather reminds us that God is all-powerful and our time on earth is short. Is God responsible for what we term “natural disasters” like tsunamis and hurricanes?

Is God involved in disastrous natural calamities, or do we turn to natural forces to seek the cause? But the Scriptures indicate that God is the driving force behind nature, even in its most tragic moments.

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He commissioned His followers to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. This underscores the fact that He’s the only way to God and that no other religion can save people from certain judgment.

Consider the claim of Christ that He is the only way to God. Some say that anyone who is sincere in their belief deserves a shot at heaven. But what does fairness look like from God’s point of view?
October 22, 2015
The true God is found in the Bible, and He has revealed the only means by which we can approach Him. In fact, He has something to say about any religion that doesn’t meet His standards.

Any runner can tell you that there’s only one goal line and only one route to get there. Since rules are rules, you have to follow the track in order to win. There is only one way to God too. 
October 20, 2015
Ultimately, we have to leave our preconceptions behind and find God’s revelation of Himself in the Bible. That revelation is all we need for this life and the life to come.
