Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Canon Of The Bible Part 1

Where did the Bible originate? Many question how we know which books should be accepted as qualified Scripture. In this message, we’re introduced to God’s providence in preserving the Scriptures throughout the ages. It was not merely dictated or constructed by humans.

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.

Our minds cannot grasp the immensity of the universe, let alone explain its origin. Creation displays the glory of God. In this message, we identify two necessary attributes of a Creator God. Could the same God, who created the universe in all its intricacy, care enough to reach down to us?

Despite the evidence, many scientists reject a divine hand in creation. Yet natural processes cannot spontaneously exist, and chance is not orderly. In this message, we consider the precision and accuracy of God’s creation of an inhabitable earth. We were created by God for His pleasure.

Many who doubt the Scriptures need to deal with the Christ who had no doubts about them. We must either believe Him or reject what He says and the Bible He quotes. In this message, we’re invited to grow in our confidence of the Scriptures. We need somebody who has the qualifications to speak on behalf of God.

Although modern scholars try to discredit Jesus, few say He had ill intent. Many look to Him as a good moral teacher, so His opinion of the Bible should at least be worth considering. In this message, we find three examples of Jesus’ belief in the historicity and ethical claims of the Old Testament. If Jesus held up the Scriptures as truth, we are faced with a choice.

Most so-called prophets bathe their predictions in mystery and allegory. In clear language, the Bible predicts specifics and details hundreds of years before events take place. In this message, we explore how predicted events in the Old Testament came to be fact. Will we believe if we’re convinced otherwise?

Many question whether the Bible’s prophesies are precise. Throughout Scripture, God contrasts His knowledge with false teachers and spiritists. In this message from Isaiah 44, we delve into what makes a prophesy trustworthy. The Bible’s fulfilled prophesies comfort us with more fulfillments yet to come.

How important is it that we know the Scriptures are a reliable? The Bible makes claims about both history and spiritual truth. In this message, we explore why we can trust God’s Word and the gospel we proclaim. Ultimately, faith in God is a work of the Spirit, not empirical evidence.

Since the Bible is under perennial attack for its accuracy, just how reliable is it? From creation to the flood, the Bible is accurate in its geography and history. In this message, we look at two instances from the Old and New Testaments where archeology has helped us confirm the Scriptures. For those who are closed to belief, there will never be enough evidence.

The Bible was written by 40 authors over some 1600 years. If the Bible is truly God-breathed, it is completely without error in all it asserts. In this message, we tour examples of the Bible’s accuracy in the Old Testament, revealing that it is God’s Word. Can we trust the Bible’s own testimony about itself?
