October 29, 2015

What is easier to believe: viewing natural disasters as the product of blind chance, or seeing them as coming from God? Only a God who controls our circumstances is worthy of trust.

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.

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.

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.

There are just two ways to search for God. Either we accept His written revelation, or we try to find him by inventing our own idols. Can we come to grips with the true God and the way He thinks?

Do you want your own God? Pagan tribes worship wooden carvings. Modern man worships money and fame. Both practices are idolatry. In any case, God will not tolerate less than first place in your life.
