Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent Book Interview, Part 5 of 5

April 5, 2013

The Christian faith is diametrically opposed to the Koran’s teachings. Like oil and water, the two cannot mix. Terror attacks are now frequent as radical Muslims seek to impose the rule of Mohammed on the entire world. Should Christians “live and let live?” Or should we be proactive in bringing to gospel to an ever-more resistant culture? The stakes are huge, and that’s our focus on today’s broadcast.

Moderate Muslims versus radical Islamists: there’s a difference, but radicals think there’s only one kind. Radicals use terror and intimidation to force entire nations to yield to their demands. The forces of war are rumbling in the Middle East as hardline governments replace moderate ones, threatening Israel’s existence.   We need to know, as Christians, what to do.

Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. Yet, the rise of Islam has prevailed mightily. How should Christians interpret the ever-increasing rise of radical Islam? Are America’s legal systems facing a forced imposition of Shariah law? The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent: that’s the title of Dr. Erwin Lutzer’s new book on Islam; listen today as he addresses these issues.

Seven churches once stood in what is now Turkey—churches important enough to get personal words from Jesus Himself. The book of Revelation records evaluations of these seven churches direct from the risen Christ, and yet none of these churches exist today. Islam destroyed all seven. What lessons can we draw from this tide of history? Are America’s churches next?

The religion of Islam is on the rise worldwide. When nations become Islamic states, Christianity is often outlawed. Western countries are allowing Shariah law to coexist with their own laws. Fear grips governments as Muslims demand ever-growing control in the places they live. What should Christians do as Islam’s dominance spreads?

At Emmaus, the resurrected Jesus walked with disciples so dejected, so sorrowful that they did not even recognize Him. But their hearts were warmed by this passerby. Inviting Him to dinner, they found themselves face to face with the One they loved, but never really understood.

The resurrection of Jesus revived the dreams of His disciples. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer will explain how it can also revive our dreams.

As we think of the resurrection of Jesus, we remember a doubting disciple who needed solid evidence before believing that his Master was really alive. Jesus showed him His wounded hands and side saying, “Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.”

Jesus cursing a fig tree isn’t something we normally think about during Holy Week. But in today’s message, Pastor Lutzer shows how bearing fruit is important to God, and was a lesson Jesus taught His disciples just one day after riding into Jerusalem.

The triumphal entry of Christ was both a joyous and a solemn occasion. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer gives us a crucial lesson that Jesus taught in connection with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

David was out of hope and had nowhere else to turn. He went before God and confessed his sin through guilt-ridden tears. God not only forgave him, but used a child, born of Bathsheba, and put them in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
