Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God, Why Me? #1 of 3

January 26, 2009
A gymnast trains for years, performing flawlessly in practice. But at the Olympics she falls from the balance beam, crying "Why?" "Why" is the word that haunts us when things go seemingly wrong. Millennia ago, a man named Job showed us how to ask why. We'll hear his story, meet his well-meaning friends, and encounter the God whose purposes we cannot fathom.

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.

The Bible says that Satan can appear as an angel of light. Indeed, many follow demons when they think they're following God. History will climax in a great struggle of good and evil. The outcome is foreordained: Jesus will return and vanquish Satan, his demons, and all who followed them into believing what the Bible calls The Lie, a lie promoted by media luminaries such as Oprah Winfrey.

These days, people are very eager to believe in change. "Don't mind the details," they say, "just give me change." In the end times, change will come in the person the Bible calls the Antichrist, a leader of fearsome power who will embody the opposite of everything Jesus is. And the human race will, by and large, believe his lies, setting up the final war to end all wars.

The ultimate future for the believer is indeed glorious, but not before the darkest period in world history has taken place. The Bible says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith and adopt the doctrines of demons. Modern-day teachers masquerade as believers, teaching a perverted gospel that has its roots in the mind of Satan himself. As these days approach, what are we to do?

What does the future hold? Most prognosticators can't look very far into the unknown. At best, they can only guess. But the Bible gives some clues as to what will happen in what are called "the last days." We read of false Christs and false prophets who will lead many astray into believing what the Bible calls The Lie. What is this Lie?

With the willing help of the media in America, an unseen Pied Piper of Hamlin is leading millions into a false hope...a hope that they can fashion their own destinies, empower their own choices, and make their own dreams come true, because they are, in fact, their own gods. This is what the Bible calls The Lie. For the truth on this lie, stay with us.

When people are dazzled by miracles, they'll believe almost anything. Modern-day miracle workers take fast advantage of that. You can even buy a book called A Course in Miracles. And since only God can perform a miracle, the next leap of modern faith is to realize that we, ourselves, are gods. Satan's great end-time Lie is in full bloom, on radio, TV, and across the internet.

It's blatant, it's in your face, it's out there for all to see. Open rebellion against the God of the Bible is now the style of our day. Be redefining God in its own image, our culture has taken two plus two and made five...it's turned truth upside down and created The Lie...a lie as old as the serpent's beguiling words in the Garden of Eden...a lie bought into by those who follow Oprah Winfrey.

"Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"In court, truth is important. The Bible teaches that in the end times, truth will give way to a lie...not just any lie, but The Lie. What that lie is, and how it's found adherents among the powerful in our media, is our focus for the next eight Running to Win broadcasts.

In the race of life, what's your goal? Wealth? Power? Position? Or is it to hear "well done" from Jesus at the finish line? Many Americans treasure their freedom because it means they can do what they like. But freedom is only of value if we use that freedom to choose to be faithful to the cause of Christ. That's the counsel of an apostle in a Roman jail.

Is God on America's side? We all thought so when the twin towers were destroyed. Off we went to fight the war on terror. Years later, the war is ongoing. The economy is teetering on the brink. Tough times lie ahead for America, and many feel we're experiencing God's righteous judgment. Today, Erwin Lutzer points the way forward for those who want to see America, again, be blessed by God.
