God's Judgment Of The Nations #4 of 4
April 9, 2008

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.

When you hear about all the sins for which God judges nations, you get the uncomfortable feeling that your nation might be next.

Today: a hard look at the real prospect of God's judging hand in our day.

The Bible is a guidebook for living. In its pages we find what God wants each of us to do, and what He says not to do. The same holds true for nations. The Scriptures list at least seven sins for which God promises to hold nations accountable...sins that grow out of their leaders' desires for power and control. Today: the list grows longer.

We have all seen bomb-laden terrorists waving their guns and shouting "death to America" on TV. How should we respond? Some cower in fear. Others brandish bigger weapons. But believers can have confidence that God is in charge even if another 9/11 happens. Defend the nation? You bet. Give in to fear? Not on your life.

Some realities do not fit in finite minds. Men do what they choose. Yet God directs those choices to suit His purposes. As we wrestle with the mystery of God's hidden will, we must acknowledge His sovereign control of history. Sometimes He uses the bad guys to judge the good guys. Our task: to trust His purposes to be right - no matter what.

Some people think that random chance dictates what happens on planet earth. Either God is not involved, or He is not interested. Believers running the race of life have a different perspective. That is because the Bible reveals God as more than just interested in the human condition. He is the One Who actively determines the fates of nations. Today: a look at how God superintends what we call history.

Years ago, Alex Haley's "Roots" helped us understand the origins of the slave trade. And origins are important. That is why God recorded the beginnings of human history in the book of Genesis. Here we find out where we came from as members of the nations of the world. Today: a wrap-up on how everybody can trace their roots back to the sons of Noah.

There are literally thousands of languages spoken here on planet earth. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself where they all came from? At the very beginning, God saw to it that people would be divided into many geographical and ethnic groups.

When you visit Israel, it is possible to stand on the very mount from which Jesus Christ ascended to His father in heaven. Prophecies foretell His return to that very Mount of Olives one day to set up His kingdom...a kingdom whose capital will be Jerusalem. Meanwhile, those who believe in Him are charged to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Today: how Jesus is ruling in heaven even now.
