Running To Win

The Descent Into Gloom #3 of 4

February 1, 2008
If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, turn to Luke chapter 16. Here you will find out what will happen to you when you die. A man cries in pain, begging to be able to contact his loved ones and tell them to repent, lest they join him in suffering a just judgment. The answer: "no." Today: a sober look at a future no one would want if they knew it was coming.

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.

Most of us are too busy to think about our own deaths, but each of us has an appointment we cannot avoid. We must be ready. Runners in life's race know that one day the race will be over. Those who run best already know where their track ends. Today: more teaching from the Bible about where unbelievers will spend their eternities.

It may surprise you to learn that no one is in hell today. Hell is empty, awaiting the arrival of another place called Hades. Hades is where unbelievers go when they die, and one day, Hades will be thrown into hell. Today: a look at the Bible's teaching about the ultimate fate of people who never trusted Christ for salvation.

For many, death is a fearful mystery. Some take comfort in reports of lights at the end of the tunnel...but those lights can be demonic. Taking the Bible at face value offers the truth about the great mystery of death. Since "it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this, the judgment," we are going to see what the Bible says will happen "One Minute After You Die."

Is there an explanation for the similarity of peoples' stories about near-death experiences? Dr. Lutzer says "yes." Those lights at the end of the tunnel may not be what they seem. As believers, we need God's revelation on what happens after death. And God has given us that revelation in His word.

Some people who have been near death and back report a strange, inviting light beckoning them to cross through the door. But is that light what it seems to be? How seriously should we take the revelations of those in the twilight between life and death? We need to know, since one day, we too will pass beyond this life and face what lies on the other side.

You never know when death will come, but what happens "One Minute After You Die?" Nothingness?...A strange light?...Another dimension?...Or eternity?

As the songwriter penned, "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing." And its greatest splendors are found in First Corinthians 13. Real love seeks the good of others first, and seeks our benefit last. This is a far cry from the way people are attracted to each other these days. But as believers, we are held to a higher standard: God's love standard as found in the Bible.

From time to time the issue of spiritual gifts has divided believers. Speaking in tongues has long caused contention. The Apostle Paul put that issue to rest a long time ago in his writings to the church at Corinth. He taught that there is something that far transcends all spiritual gifts, and that something is love. Today: more study in the famous "love chapter."

These days, the problem with the word "love" is one of definition...people "love" their cars and "love" new fashions. But millennia ago, the Apostle Paul wrote the ultimate essay on love. After you master First Corinthians 13, you will know what real love is, and is not. Today: more details on God's view of love - the kind He shows us, and the kind we are to show to others.

The world has little interest in the doctrines that Christians believe. But it takes notice when believers love one another. As someone has said, our lives are the books that people read every day. And those outside the church are drawn to experience the love that we as believers share. Today: a look at why we do what we do, and what our underlying motive must be if we are to reach the lost.
