The Battle for Your Heart, Part 4 of 4 (Guard Your Heart)
October 10, 2013
Imagine yourself in a boat that is safe and dry. Across the pond another boat is leaking and sinking. You may think you are okay. In contrast to this, in terms of moral temptation, we are all in the same boat. Whether in the church or not, all of us as humans are prone to moral sins, and the media makes such sinning easy.

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.

Jeremiah the prophet surveyed the wickedness of his day and lamented, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick, who can understand it?” In this internet age it’s no surprise that immorality is rampant, since we are predisposed to evil in the first place. How should Christians protect themselves from the media onslaught shouting from their computers and TV screens?

Never before has the believer in Christ faced the onslaught of moral temptation that faces everyone who clicks with a mouse. The Word of God is replete with warnings to avoid places that put us at risk of moral failure. In times past, that meant “don’t buy a pornographic magazine.” Now it means “don’t go to an explicit website.” The forces of evil want your heart, and today, we learn more about this battle.

It has been said that America will fall, not by the guns of its enemies, but by the moral rot of its citizens. The media is one reason why. The more “online” we become, the more exposed we are to powerful forces determined to make us addicts to moral perversity and the occult. The danger is very real and the evidence is everywhere.

A runner knows that the pain he feels will cease when the race is over. The hurt will not last forever. This gives him hope. A Christian knows that the pain of this life will end when Christ returns to Earth. That certainty enables us to withstand persecution, deprivation, and even death itself.

For believers in the race of life, the ultimate goal line is still ahead. When Christ returns, all our labors will end. The hope of Christ’s return has motivated Christians for two thousand years. And that return in power is nearer now than ever. Only a few saw Jesus rise into heaven, but every eye will see Him when He returns.

There is coming a day for believers in which the race of this life will end. No more running, no more track, no more labor. That day is the bright hope for Christians: the day Jesus returns. That day will be like no other day before or since. And because the Scriptures cannot be broken, that promised day is an absolute certainty.

One thing runners need is power—physical power and mental power—in order to give a race all they have. The disciples of Christ got a foretaste of His power when they saw Him ascend into heaven. As a cloud hid His rising form from view, attending angels reminded them that Jesus would one day return in great power and majesty.

When Jesus ascended into heaven, He went to prepare a place for us. And though only a few saw Jesus rise into the sky, the entire world will see Him return.

The ascension of Jesus was a movement from the visible to the invisible, the material to the immaterial, and from the finite to the eternal. It was the key to founding the church—the body of Christ.
September 27, 2013
Of all the religious founders who’ve ever lived, only One is still living. Only One has opened the door to heaven. Jesus is alive and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, waiting to return in glory to this Earth.
