What God Thinks of the Cross Part 2

October 7, 2014

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.

As runners in life’s race, believers need to understand the clash of cross and culture. As citizens of both heaven and earth, we have obligations to both, obligations we must keep distinct, especially at election time.

The cross of Christ is inherently in conflict with our culture, especially when the media flaunts immorality as normal. Politicians vie for position on issues the Bible settled long ago. Thankfully, the cross can do what politics can’t.

Many Christians active in politics find themselves increasingly at odds with the culture. That is because the cross of Christ is inherently at odds with the culture. Today we begin a series on Why the Cross Can Do What Politics Can’t.

We cannot comprehend the transformation that awaits us. With glorified bodies, we will see all of creation reborn in a cosmic chorus of praise. The transcendent finale to the symphony of God’s glory is the end of time, and the beginning of a radiant eternity.
September 24, 2014
One day, the chaos of earthquakes and tsumanis will be no more. All of creation will resound with the glory of God, free from the curse of the fall that left creation groaning, waiting for its rebirth. God will reign supreme over a new earth.
