The Belt of Truth #3 of 3
June 30, 2009
Go to any bookstore. There you'll find a plethora of authors spewing outright lies about the God revealed in the Bible. Whether it's about witchcraft, New Age spirituality, or pseudo-science, these books seek to muddy the clear waters God has given us in scripture. The onslaught is fierce, and we need a good defense...a defense like "The Belt of Truth" as revealed in Ephesians.

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.

It's as old as the Garden of Eden: Satan whispering lies into our ears, lies about the nature and character of God. We're all born with a propensity to believe those lies, lies that tell us that disobeying God is the path to true freedom. Before you bite into that apple, listen for a way to guard against falling for the devil's falsehoods.

Like it or not, we're all in a spiritual war. We can either succumb to Satan's devices, or, wear God's armor and fight. The Apostle Paul revealed the weapons of the armor of God in the book of Ephesians. And the first weapon we've been given is "The Belt of Truth." Today, we'll find out why we need this weapon, and, how to best use it.

The peace of Eden's garden was shattered when sin entered the world. Down through the ages, the damage continues to mount. As believers in Jesus, our eyes have been opened to the reality of a spiritual war that never stops. Satan is determined to thwart God's work in your life, and in mine. His plan, however, is destined to utterly fail. And you and I have a part in winning this war.

Our lives may seem peaceful, but always in the background is the sound of war. That's because there is a war going on. That war is in a place we cannot see. Demonic forces wage a battle against the saints of God on a daily basis, a battle that won't end until we enter the eternal state. Our job: learn to use God's weapons, that we may share in the ultimate victory.

Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, terror attacks across the globe, war... it seems, is never far away. That's just on the plane of existence we can see. But beyond what our senses can discern is a greater war, a cosmic conflict of the ages being fought by Satan and his legions against the purposes and plans of God. Today, we lift the veil on "The Invisible War."

The human condition: we're all born with a propensity to sin and a desire to seek revenge whenever we're attacked. But vengeance is not something we have a right to. The Bible declares that "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord." How do we adjust our instincts to agree with the scriptures? For some practical advice on letting go, please stay with us.

Sometimes every instinct we have runs counter to what the Bible says to do. That's especially true of reconciliation. When someone attacks us, we want to attack back. But the Bible says, "Bless those who persecute you: bless and do not curse." Today: some hard lessons on resolving conflict, and helping ourselves and others get over past injustices.

Despite our best efforts, some people will refuse reconciliation, and hang on to their hurts until their knuckles turn white. Letting go of past injustice seems, for many, to be the ultimate insult. After all, those injustices give these people their reason to go on fighting. Today: a call for all who hold their hurts dear to give them up, and, be healed of their anger.

"Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven," Jesus said. Is He saying that man can tell God what to do? This verse from Matthew 18 has been controversial for centuries. Today, Erwin Lutzer will explain what this scripture means, and how it relates to the task we all have of seeking reconciliation between those in conflict. For some helpful insights, listen with us.

What do you do when a fellow believer sins and will not repent? Jesus told us what to do: invoke church discipline. It's never easy to confront a sinning Christian, so Jesus gave us teaching on how and when to do the necessary task of bringing that brother back to repentance and fellowship. Today: a look at the end game of reconciliation: what to do when nothing else works.
