How the Glory of God Changes Us, Part 2 of 3 (Nothing Else Matters)

March 31, 2017

In the Old Testament, God’s glory was only seen by a few. Moses saw it, crying out to see more. But Paul wrote that “when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.” Now we can behold, and be changed by the glory of God.

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.

“And we with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” That change depends on believers renouncing sin in their lives.

The trials of Job would make any of us give up. Ten dead children is a tragedy so difficult to imagine. His wife said, “curse God and die.” But Job persisted until he could say to God, “I had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen you.”

Believers know that God has a purpose in their suffering–a purpose we can’t fathom while in the deep valley. Can we realize that the ultimate good of God’s glory far outweighs the pain we encounter along the way?

Suffering teaches lessons that an easy life can never teach. Job’s terrible trials brought him face to face with God. Let’s look at the life of the Apostle Paul, a man with a God-given thorn in the flesh.

Sooner or later, we all experience suffering. But believers have the promise that suffering for the sake of Jesus will be rewarded. But nothing else matters but the glory of God, especially when we’re in pain.

Corinth was a moral cesspool; its pagan temple was filled with prostitutes. The church there was plagued with sexual sins including incest. As a result, we have very clear teaching on how a Christian can glorify God by treating sexuality the way it was intended.

One way for believers to handle the temptation of sex outside of marriage is to realize Who is present during it all. God Himself is a witness since the believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. God looks seriously at our sexuality.

Sex creates very deep bonds between people. It joins them metaphysically, whether married or not. For believers, that joining affects their relationships with Christ. Can our sex lives glorify God?
March 21, 2017
Every one of us is a sexual being. No area of life is more challenging for a believer. First Corinthians was written to a church with serious moral issues. Let’s see our sex lives through the prism of the glory of God.

Accepting a job beneath your qualifications is humbling. At some point, any job beats no job. Let’s learn to see God’s glory as our focus, letting Him orchestrate our promotions as well as demotions.
