7 Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible

August 31, 2012
Sometimes in a business deal, the negotiations come down to one choice — you either take it or leave it. As a guidebook for the race of life, we must either take the Bible as it is, or reject it outright. Picking only the parts you like will not do.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Beneath the shifting sands of our culture there’s a bedrock that is immovable and unchangeable. That bedrock is the Bible. The Bible gives direction to those running life’s race, not just for this life, but for the life to come. Beginning today, we’ll study why you can trust this book with your life.

As the songwriter penned, “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.” And its greatest splendors are found in 1 Corinthians 13. Real love seeks the good of others first, and our personal benefit last. This is a far cry from the way people are attracted to each other these days. But as Christians, we are held to a higher standard. We are called to love others as Christ has.

From time to time the issue of spiritual gifts has divided believers. Speaking in tongues has long caused contention. The Apostle Paul put that issue to rest a long time ago in his writings to the church at Corinth. He taught that there is something that far transcends all spiritual gifts — and that something is love.

These days, the problem with the word “love” is one of definition. People “love” their cars, and “love” new fashions. But millennia ago, the Apostle Paul wrote the ultimate essay on love. After studying 1 Corinthians 13, there’s no doubt as to what real love is, and what it isn’t. Today we will study more details on God’s view of love — the love He shows us, and the love we are to show to others.

The world has little interest in the doctrines of Christianity. But it takes notice when believers love one another. As someone has said, our lives are the books that people read every day. Those outside the church are drawn to experience the love that believers share. Today we’ll take a look at why we do what we do, and what our underlying motive must be if we are to reach the lost.

In the body of Christ, the strong help the weak, and the healthy help the ailing. No one has to face life’s tough times alone. As each member of the body first submits to God and then serves others, the whole body thrives. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer provides some tips on how to support each other in times of need.

Christians are commanded to present their bodies as living sacrifices acceptable to God. This isn’t easy. The pressure is on — from within and without — for us to do anything but be living sacrifices. In other words, we want to get off the altar and “do our own thing.” Today: some practical help on how to get back on the altar and stay there.

Each of us makes choices every day — how to use our time, talents, and treasure, and on setting priorities. As members of the body of Christ we have a mission to fulfill, so a disciplined use of our resources is key to getting God’s work done. Today we will look at how to determine our priorities and how to live by them.

The word “diversity” scares some people. They’d rather spend time with like-minded people than embrace those they consider different. But in the body of Christ, there is great diversity. And each believer has a unique contribution to make to the growth of Christ’s kingdom on Earth.

For some reason, we tend to think that God is somewhere “up there” looking down to see how His children are doing. But the New Testament paints a different picture in which God sees believers as part of Christ’s body — the church — in a union with Him as intimate as the connection between the parts of a human body. As Christians running the race of life, we don’t run alone. We share the actual life of God Himself.
