The Lie That God Does Not Know...

September 11, 2007
Our Future Decisions #3 of 4
Does God know what you are going to do tomorrow? You might say "of course." But incredibly, some theologians are saying, "no way." As we run life’s race, we need a God who knows when we are going to cross the finish line. Today: Pastor Lutzer brings what for some is a theological debate down to where you and I really live.

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

Our Future Decisions #2 of 4 Like any intellectual pursuit, theology has its fads, such as the idea that God does not know our decisions in advance. Going far beyond the classic debates between Calvinists and Arminians, some now say that God has chosen to limit His omniscience to let us fully express our free wills. Well, today, another lie bites the dust.

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. Is God involved in calamities like this, or do we turn to Mother Nature when we seek the cause? Today: you will hear a strong affirmation that God, indeed, is the driving force behind nature...even in its most tragic moments.

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.

The trip will not be easy, but we invite you along for the journey.
