Many Paths Lead into God's Presence, Part 2 of 4

February 1, 2012
It is popular to think that we can approach God on our own terms. It is said, “All roads lead to Rome.” Although humans believe this, the Bible does not endorse it. In fact, it says quite the opposite. Far from offering a spiritual smorgasbord, the Bible insists that there is only one way to approach the Almighty. Before you buy into “pick your favorite God,” listen to today’s broadcast.

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.

If you believe a lie long enough, for you it becomes the truth. Many of us harbor falsehoods that can send us to hell. Please stop in your race of life long enough to consider that you may be among those who believe wrongly about God. This is serious stuff, nothing is more important than what you believe about Him.

Some see the gospel like the Augusta Golf Club, too exclusive. They would much rather have a menu of beliefs to choose from. “After all, you have your truth and I have mine,” they say. Today, we will see that God only has one way to Himself, and it is a way He has designed. Our obligation is to believe what He has revealed about His Son, and thereby find eternal life.

Not even the most egotistical guru has ever said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Only Jesus said that. Today: a challenge to those who say that Jesus was just another great teacher – the truth is that He is either a liar, a madman, or God in the flesh. There are no other alternatives. What do you think of Jesus?

People accept the fact of only one speed of light, and only one moon around the earth. But only one way to God? Say that, and you are ignored at best, hated at worst. The claims of Jesus to be the exclusive path to eternal life force us to decide: do I go with my instincts, or do I go with Jesus?

It is a force you cannot see, but you can certainly feel. It is everywhere, telling people what is okay for them to believe. That force is political correctness, and when it comes to the Christian faith, it is out in full strength. Today we focus on how we should witness in a day when people tolerate everything but the truth.

For two thousand years people have been trying to figure out what to do with Jesus Christ. Like Pilate, many reject Him. But others heed His call to believe in Him as the only One who can save them from the sins that separate them from God. Today: more answers to the crucial question many ask: “God, Yes, but Why Jesus?”

Some people think that since “all roads lead to Rome,” all religions must lead to God. This is an enormous mistake. If your life was at stake in a hospital, you would want the truth about your condition. Your life is at stake, eternally, and finding the truth about your spiritual condition and its remedy has to be “job one.” Today, we will learn more about why Jesus is the only road that leads to God.

Tolerance is a big deal these days, and we are all for tolerance. But there is one thing many people cannot tolerate. You can believe anything you want, but you cannot say you have the truth without offending those around you. When you say that Jesus is the truth, people become unglued. We will now take a look at why Jesus is the only way to God, modern pundits notwithstanding.

“The word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword.” That is especially true for the words of Jesus, Who knows us through and through. Today we are hearing His words on our motivations, as recorded in Matthew 6. Our job is letting in the light to scatter the darkness in our lives. Too many of us like that darkness.

Surgery is no fun. But the result can be restored health. Spiritual surgery is the same: not fun, but rewarding. Today we will have another session of motivation analysis, as we hear again the words of Jesus in Matthew 6. We will work on understanding and improving our attitudes for why we do what we do.
