He Owns Our Tongues #1 of 3
October 4, 2007
It is said that "the pen is mightier than the sword." Yes, words are powerful, and when spoken, they can cut like swords. If we could rewind the tapes of our lives and hear all we have said, we would probably be shocked. Our tongues can be lethal weapons. Only under God's control can they bring blessing rather than cursing.

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.

You always listen closely to someone's last words. The disciples certainly did before they saw Jesus rise into heaven. Like a runner in a race, Jesus passed the baton to those He trained to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. His words in Acts chapter one galvanized His followers then, as they should us who believe now.

The message is clear. Our culture and the media tell us to "look out for number one." And in a way, they are right. Running the race of life involves understanding who is in charge. Once we realize that "number one" is not us, the race gets a lot easier. Today: let us take the first step in living life with God in firm control.

#4 of 4Once we realize how great our need is before God, we will quickly forget thinking that we can somehow help ourselves get to heaven.

Please stay with us for today's broadcast, as we dispel a final myth about God: a lie that must not be believed.

#3 of 4All the good deeds in the world cannot erase the guilt of sin that every member of the human raced bears before a holy God. The Bible says that all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Only God's righteousness opens heaven's doors. That is why we are deceived if we believe that "God helps those who help themselves." Stay with us, as we unmask a final lie about God.

#2 of 4In one sense it is true that God helps those who help themselves. But when it comes to salvation, that saying is a lie. Only those who are helpless can avail themselves of a salvation only God can give. We cannot add anything to the work that has already been done to secure our eternal future. Today: more on a common misconception, one that is a life and death matter.

#1 of 4There is a phrase a lot of people mistakenly think is found in the Bible. It is this: "God helps those who help themselves." Certainly we need to take the initiative in many areas of life, but when it comes to the vital issue of salvation, it is crucial to understand what God really says: we cannot help ourselves. Only He can save. Today: why another lie about God must be unmasked.

Pleasing God And Pleasing Ourselves #4 of 4Americans value their heritage. It is one that makes possible "the pursuit of happiness..." a pursuit God approves of. Sadly, many think pursuing happiness means not pursuing the will of God. They falsely think the two are mutually exclusive. Today: we will hear some final thoughts, and then ask some questions about this common misconception.

Pleasing God And Pleasing Ourselves #3 of 4It is true: long-term financial gain is often short-circuited by investor's desires to make short-term, fast profits. The same is true in life. Going for immediate pleasures can short-circuit our potential to enjoy the overwhelming pleasures of God...pleasures that can last a lifetime. Today: some good reasons why you and I should think long-term.

Pleasing God And Pleasing Ourselves #2 of 4Somehow a lot of believers have gotten the mistaken impression that pleasure and God's will are mutually incompatible. The good news is that God wants you to experience pleasure. The bad news: a lot of us do not know what real pleasures are. Those who think sinking in sin opens pleasure's doors have no clue what satisfaction God wants to give His children.
