Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Fingerprints of God #1 of 4

December 2, 2009
The scientific method involves experimentation and the validation of results. When it comes to creation, this won't work.... There's no way to re-enact the moment of creation. Science must give way to faith, and that troubles many. The issue of evolution has carved a great divide between those who believe the Bible and those who scorn it. Today: questions and answers on a theory that really can't hold water.

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.

Here's a question: when you look in the mirror, do you see the image of God? Now, some of us might, if we did some careful grooming.... All kidding aside, despite all of our shortcomings, God made every human being "in His image." What does this mean? Today, we'll find out why mankind ranks as the crowning glory of God's creation, and why our redemption required so high a price.

Talk about a big assigment: Adam and Eve were given the job of identifying and naming all the animals in Eden... God put His First Couple in charge of the lesser life forms on the earth. Darwin's followers see man as just another creature. God gave that first couple dominion over them. So, who has the higher view of human life? Today: what life was like in Eden.

For Darwin's followers, there was no Eden. Primitive man rose up by pure chance from the primieval slime, and, here we are. The Bible gives an account with no chances. God hand-made the first human man and woman, and gave them a place to live with a mandate to serve Him as custodians of the earth. While the world celebrates Darwin's theories, believers know that it was God, not chance, that brought male and female together.

Only a scientist with his head fogged by evolution could fail to be amazed at the intricacy of life on earth... The more we probe distant stars, the ocean depths, and the screens of electron microsopes, the more we stand in stunned disbelief. All the evidence points to the hand of a great designer. Chance played no part in fashioning this creation. Stay with us.

Evolution's biggest problem? The first millisecond of the Big Bang. How did anything come out of absolutely nothing? For most under evolution's sway, the evidence and facts do not matter. Their objection is more moral than scientific. If there is a God, He's an inconvenient truth, and so, He must go. Today we'll see why He isn't going anywhere, and why His creation is ample evidence of a genius Designer.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." These ten words begin the Bible's book of Genesis... These ten words are the topic sentence for God's great paragraph of creation. What they include, and what they exclude, is our focus on today's broadcast. No random, purposeless turn of chance could have ever produced the grandeur of the universe. Please stay with us.

Evolutionists have a tough sell. It's one thing to say life developed by chance. It's another to say how it all started... Untold quadrillions of stars, planets and galaxies all argue that a Designer put them there. Pure chance can't create anything...something had to set it all in motion. Today, a look at the virtual infinity that is the universe we live in...fit to honor the One who made it all.

North and south are diametrically opposed, as are zero and infinity. The same is true for evolution and creation... You simply can't have it both ways. Compromise may work in Congress, but not in sorting out how we got here. Either Darwin was right, or the Bible is right. Today: the end of a message making the distinction totally clear. Please stay with us.

Square pegs don't fit in round holes, and evolution and creation cannot both be true. Some Christians have tried to bridge the gap... Bowing to the influence of Charles Darwin, some argue for theistic evolution and other approaches that allow God to stay in the background as natural selection does its thing. Today: more on the influence of a man whose teachings cannot be reconciled with those of the Bible.

In war, killing civilians is called collateral damage. Our culture is reeling from the collateral damage done by Charles Darwin... Taken to its logical conclusion, Darwin's evolution sees humans as just advanced animals, with no more rights than a grasshopper. As society buys into this amoral philosophy, many are now in outright rebellion against the way God created them. Stay with us.
