Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Lots of Space But No Room #2 of 2

December 9, 2009
Well, there's only about two weeks of shopping till Christmas, and most of us just hope there's enough time left to get everything done.... If our broadcast finds you making plans to race to the store, remember this: the holiday has its roots in a far different culture at a very different time and place. Listen today as Erwin Lutzer brings us down to earth with another view of Christmas.

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.

As Christmas approaches, all of us start running like never before. For many, Christmas has become a race of its own.... Buy those presents, decorate that tree, put those cards in the mail. And while you're on the move, take a few minutes with Erwin Lutzer, and consider Christmas from a different viewpoint, from a place far away and a time long, long ago.

Evolution is, at best, an attempt to evade God's authority over what He's made. That attempt will always fail.... Once the arguments are over, one simple fact remains: there must have been a beginning. And only God could have made what exists out of the nothing that had to precede the something. Today, we visit Job for the last time, who, after hearing all the evidence, repents in dust and ashes.

Evolutionists give the impression that the war is over...Christians should "just get over it." "No way," says Erwin Lutzer.... The teachings of Darwin have corroded the underlying fabric of society. Freed from obligation to a Creator God, people cast off their moral sense and do what feels good. The results are catastrophic. On this broadcast: God tells Job, his friends, and us, who's really in charge.

Some people scan the Bible looking for Jurassic Park. Finding no dinosaurs there, they wonder how those bones fit in.... Today, answers to many questions about how the fossil record fits in with the Genesis account of creation. We'll talk about those "missing links," and find that Darwin's evolution is a theory in search of evidence, and it's still looking.

The scientific method involves experimentation and the validation of results. When it comes to creation, this won't work.... There's no way to re-enact the moment of creation. Science must give way to faith, and that troubles many. The issue of evolution has carved a great divide between those who believe the Bible and those who scorn it. Today: questions and answers on a theory that really can't hold water.

Here's a question: when you look in the mirror, do you see the image of God? Now, some of us might, if we did some careful grooming.... All kidding aside, despite all of our shortcomings, God made every human being "in His image." What does this mean? Today, we'll find out why mankind ranks as the crowning glory of God's creation, and why our redemption required so high a price.

Talk about a big assigment: Adam and Eve were given the job of identifying and naming all the animals in Eden... God put His First Couple in charge of the lesser life forms on the earth. Darwin's followers see man as just another creature. God gave that first couple dominion over them. So, who has the higher view of human life? Today: what life was like in Eden.

For Darwin's followers, there was no Eden. Primitive man rose up by pure chance from the primieval slime, and, here we are. The Bible gives an account with no chances. God hand-made the first human man and woman, and gave them a place to live with a mandate to serve Him as custodians of the earth. While the world celebrates Darwin's theories, believers know that it was God, not chance, that brought male and female together.

Only a scientist with his head fogged by evolution could fail to be amazed at the intricacy of life on earth... The more we probe distant stars, the ocean depths, and the screens of electron microsopes, the more we stand in stunned disbelief. All the evidence points to the hand of a great designer. Chance played no part in fashioning this creation. Stay with us.
November 26, 2009
Evolution's biggest problem? The first millisecond of the Big Bang. How did anything come out of absolutely nothing? For most under evolution's sway, the evidence and facts do not matter. Their objection is more moral than scientific. If there is a God, He's an inconvenient truth, and so, He must go. Today we'll see why He isn't going anywhere, and why His creation is ample evidence of a genius Designer.
