The Lie That God Does Not Know...

September 7, 2007
Our Future Decisions #1 of 4
Some theologians see our lives as on a chessboard. We make a move, and then God responds with a countermove. These modern thinkers feel that God gives us totally free will, and then adapts Himself to our choices as we make them. To these theologians, the future for God is an unfinished novel. Today: we will see another lie exploded.

Takes No Responsibility For Natural Disasters #4 of 4So, what is easier to believe: seeing natural disasters as the products of blind chance, or seeing them as coming from God? The clear choice is the latter. Only a God Who controls our circumstances is worthy of trust. Today: some final thoughts and some questions about God's hand in what we call "natural disasters."

Takes No Responsibility For Natural Disasters #3 of 4Think about this: can you trust a God who hurls each lightning bolt to the earth during a thunderstorm's terrible fury? Well, the alternative is trusting a God who does not know where the lightning will hit. Today: we probe the mystery of God's hand in natural disasters, and why you and I can trust the God who manages each of our personal calamities.

Takes No Responsibility For Natural Disasters #2 of 4 It is a deep mystery. Why does God send torrential rains to flooded areas, yet allow parched ground to remain dry? The mystery deepens as we consider our frailty. When weather turns violent, we are reminded that God is all-powerful, and that our time is short. Today: more on God's responsibility for what we like to term "natural disasters" like the recent Asian tsunami. Stay with us.

Takes No Responsibility For Natural Disasters #1 of 4 Over 150,000 died when a giant tsunami destroyed endless miles of Asian coastline...a wall of killing water.

To Save Followers Of Other Religions #2 of 4Before Jesus rose into heaven, His last word to His followers was a commission to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. The urgency of His words underscores the fact that He is the only way to God, and that no other religion can save people from certain judgment. For you and for me, and for all humanity, the stakes are high, so please stay with us.

To Save Followers Of Other Religions #2 of 4In Bible times, all roads led to Rome. Some feel that all spiritual roads lead to heaven, even those that never intersect. Pause in your race of life to consider the claim of Christ that He is the only way to God. Some say "this is unfair…anyone who is sincere in their belief deserves a shot at heaven." Today: we will look at fairness, from God's point of view.

To Save Followers Of Other Religions #2 of 4Does it make sense to say that all religions lead their followers to God? Well, it all depends on how you define "God." The true God is the one found in the Bible, and He has revealed the only means by which we can approach Him. In fact, He has something to say about any religion that does not meet His standards. Get set for some straight talk.

To Save Followers Of Other Religions #1 of 4Any marathon runner will tell you that there is only one goal line, and only one route that gets you to that line as the winner. Even taking a shortcut sincerely will not get you a medal. Since rules are rules, you have to follow the track in order to win. Today: we are going to explore a tough subject. The trip will not be easy, but we invite you along for the journey.

When we realize that God does not think like we do, we can begin to see Him as He is, the God Who is in control. In the race of life, we must leave behind our preconceptions, and find in the Bible God's revelation of Himself. That revelation is all we need for this life, and the life to come. Today: some final thoughts on how God thinks.
August 27, 2007
There are just two ways to approach an understanding of God: from the bottom up, or from the top down. Only one way works. Either you accept His written revelation, or you invent your own idols, because we all worship something. Today: more on coming to grips with the true God, and on coming to grips with the way He thinks.
