Series: Who Are You To Judge?
If you watch enough religious cable TV, you'll be totally confused about which doctrines are true and which are false. In the marketplace of religious ideas, packaging and glitz often carry more weight than Bible truth. Today: you'll hear a pointed call to return to a standard against which doctrines must be measured. doctrines that impact your eternal destiny.

Series: Who Are You To Judge?
Cultural distinctives...music styles...food...we're quick to judge one another on matters that are not central to our faith. The race of life is tough enough without being called to task by another Christian for something the Bible is silent about. Today: learning to discern the difference between core principles and personal preferences to avoid judging others needlessly.

Host: Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer
Series: Who Are You To Judge?
When finding fault in others, our vision is 20/20. It quickly becomes 20/200 when focusing on our own faults. Jesus taught us to not judge a small splinter in someone else's eye without first removing the large wood beam from our own eye. That principle is found in Matthew chapter 7 and it's our focus on today's broadcast. So, how's your eye today?

Turn on cable TV, and you'll see a variety of religious experiences. Are they all valid? And, is it even OK to ask? The wise believer runs what he or she sees through a filter of discernment, since there is much error mixed with truth these days. Today: a foundational study in Matthew chapter 7 to help us know when, and how, to judge what we see.

It's easy to fit in, to follow the crowd, to blend with the trend, to accept whatever we encounter without question. But we're called to run life's race, not in the well-worn ruts, but on the high ground of God's word. Today: why we must discern right from wrong, and truth from error. Otherwise, we'll have little if any impact on a world in dire need of Jesus.

The Bible says, "Don't let the world press you into its mold." Yet that's exactly what has happened in church after church. The world is happy to accommodate various viewpoints, as long as none claim to be the truth. As we adopt that tolerance, we're sliding down a slippery slope towards making no difference in the world at all. Clearly, it's time to get back on track.

Years ago, people could see a big difference between the world and the church. Sadly, that difference is fast disappearing. Now, we're in the fast lane with everybody else, racing to acquire more goods for our short-term benefit.   Many feel that evangelical distinctives are fading as the cultural noise level rises. It's high time for some straight talk about what can be done.

Series: Children of an Awesome God
"For without faith it is impossible to please God...." This Bible verse is the key to seeing victory when all seems lost. Living in triumph means knowing that nothing can separate you from the love of God, not even death or the death of someone close to you. Only the Christian can face the worst life has to offer and know it's but a steppingstone to a glory that will never end.

Romans chapter eight ranks in the pantheon of the greatest words ever penned. The chapter ends in utter triumph. Paul declares that nothing in all creation will ever separate believers in Jesus from the love of God. Today: why we are "super-conquerors" over anything that dares try to keep us from that love, even over the power of death itself. Today we find a reason to rejoice.

They're among the most soaring words ever penned...the words the Apostle Paul used to conclude Romans chapter eight. Here he lists all the things that cannot separate us from the love of God. If you're a believer who's treading some deep water right now, and you need some encouragement, you've come to the right place.

For centuries, the sins of Israel were covered temporarily by blood sacrifices in the temple at Jerusalem. This was a picture of a future sacrifice, one that would take away sin forever.  That sacrifice was that of Jesus on the cross. Thanks to Him, believers have a certificate of acquittal from the guilt they should rightfully bear. Today, the high price of that acquittal is made clear.

As a monk, Martin Luther would go to confession for hours at a time, trying to be sure his every sin would be forgiven. Did this guarantee him a place in heaven?  No, it did not. Certainty only came when he discovered the principle of justification by faith. Confessing sins is fine, but that next sin lies in wait around the corner. Today we see why believers can rejoice in their acquittal before God.

"Will the defendant please rise?" The courtroom is hushed as the judge reads the indictment. Your guilt seems sure. But then a court official steps forward with a certificate of acquittal: a document affirming that the sentence has been carried out...on another person on your behalf. In Romans 8:33, Paul asks "Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God that justifies...."

But sometimes, a governor will commute the sentence, or set him free if new evidence is discovered. In a moment, the inmate's outlook leaps from despair to joy. We all deserve a spiritual death-row sentence. Today we look at another gift God has bestowed on those who trust Christ.

We humans are capable of some pretty awful things. The long history of war, oppression and greed proves that. Being basically selfish, we'd never turn from sin were it not for the grace of God being extended to us. Redemption is entirely God's idea, that theme runs through the whole Bible. And God's children inherit the riches of that redemption.

In the movie "National Treasure," explorers find a vast horde of gold and jewels after tracking clues to its whereabouts. When Christians explore the Bible, they find a vast horde: blessings that they will inherit as children of God. Our outlook on life becomes an uplook when we realize what lies ahead. Today we hear a partial listing of what you inherited the moment you received Christ.

"If God be for us, who can be against us?" Paul's great question in Romans chapter eight is one we must answer. Some point to circumstances and say they've been abandoned by God. How do we reconcile the promise of the Bible with the reality of our personal situations? Today: another look at a famous portion of scripture, and some help in making it real.

How would you react if a lawyer called, saying you'd just inherited a million dollars from a distant relative? Disbelief? Sure, but later, reality would sink in when the check was placed in your shaking hands. Well, if you're a believer, you have a check waiting for you at the bank of heaven. And it's for far more than a mere million. Listen here for the details.

None of us chose to be born to our parents. It would be folly to think we could've had a say in coming into this world. The birth process into God's family is no different. Peter says, "as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word." God graciously makes sure we are spiritually born, and then provides the resources we need to grow in that grace as His children.

Those who believe in Jesus and have found new life all share a common reality: they were chosen by God in eternity past. Before they were born, God knew they would share in His eternal kingdom. This would involve forgiving their sins and declaring them to be as righteous as His Son. If life now seems uncertain, know this: your future is as secure as the God who will make sure you get there.

Trying to understand fully the mind of God is a bit like taking a drink from a firehose.  There's way too much for us to grasp.  Comprehending His purposes in the crucial area of personal salvation is something we need to come to grips with.  In the majestic eighth chapter of Romans, the matter is at the core of Paul's teaching.  Today: a clear look at what, for many, is a hard-to-understand part of the Christian faith.

These days, seeker-friendly churches are everywhere.  We assume people will seek God, if we make them comfortable.  As a believer matures in the faith, he or she comes to realize that salvation is not so much a result of our seeking God as it is the result of God choosing us first.  Listen to learn why, if God had not done this, none of us would ever have chosen Him.

Some people face adversity with a dour disposition.  "What next," they say.  Such people don't see a larger Hand at work.  The hand of God moves in the lives of His people to bring about good even when the circumstances are bad.  Through the eye of faith, we who know Him can be sure that a better day is coming, and we can live triumphantly no matter what comes our way.

It's easy to see God's hand when blessings are flowing, it's tougher when all we sense is bad news.  Today we look at some ways God uses life's rough spots to fashion in us the character He desires to see.  Stay tuned for more from a famous chapter in the book of Romans.

Some call them delusional.  They gaze in wonder at believers who accept even tragedy as part of a greater good.  Only a Christian can be certain that all of life is heading toward a future glory.  That's why a believer can know that all things, even the bad things, work together for good for those who love God.  For a challenging message on a famous Bible verse, please stay with us.

When the economy worsens, many find themselves suffering for the first time.  No job, foreclosure, fear for the future.  Christians get socked by life's reversals like anyone else.  But there is a crucial difference.  The believer knows he or she has a permanent home where no foreclosure is possible and where all suffering will end.  Today: why we never groan alone when experiencing trials.

Someone once said, "Once you're 60, if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't work."  Well, as we believers age, we long for heaven.  We long to be free of the limitations of this body, and from the pain we often endure.  Suffering is a lot easier to bear when we have hope for a future day when all suffering will cease.  That's the hope Paul speaks of in the marvelous eighth chapter of Romans.

The rain falls on the just and the unjust, as humans, none of us escapes times of pain, sorrow, or deprivation.  It's tough to be optimistic when slogging through life's tough times.  Some people try to grin and bear it; others crack under the pressure.  Christians can have a different perspective: looking toward a future glory that makes our present suffering infinitesimal in comparison.

"The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs. joint heirs with Christ."  That's the teaching of Romans chapter 8, a promise for believers of being given the riches of heaven despite being unworthy sinners.  Just like a father gives gifts to his kids, God invites His children into the throne room to partake of His bounty.

Think you've always gotten the short end of life's stick?  Just wait. As a member of the body of Christ, your inheritance is earning interest right now in the bank of heaven.  One day you will make a withdrawal.

When a child is fearful, his first instinct is to run into the arms of his parents.  There's safety and comfort in the family.  Christians are born into God's family, and they don't find God unapproachable at all.  From Romans 8 we learn that the Holy Spirit births in them the desire for intimacy with God, in fact, even the desire to call Him "daddy."  Can you call God "Papa?"  If not, stay tuned.

How would you feel if you got a letter saying that an unknown benefactor had died, leaving you ten million dollars?  You check, and find you're an heir to a fortune, and didn't know it.  An heir is exactly what you are as a child of God.   In the book of Romans, we read that "The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, joint heirs with Christ."

Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  God gave this command to parents, not governments.  Throughout history, tyrants have always targeted the young, requiring them to be educated in government schools.  Do they take Proverbs more literally than many believers?  Today we see a clarion call for parents to face, and embrace, their obligations.

There's a cardinal rule for all who seek to oppress a people: control the flow of information that the people receive.  In the past, that meant turning newspapers into government mouthpieces.  Now the job is harder.  Technology has increased the avenues through which information can travel.  And so, propaganda must become ever more sophisticated.  Today we look at the power of propaganda.

Dictators know that imposing laws is step one in achieving absolute power.  Control the laws, and you control the people.  Laws provide the framework for arrest and prosecution, they instill in people a fear of what might happen if they break those laws.  The Christian knows that there is always a higher law, no matter what government may claim.  The result is the dilemma of when to disobey those in power.

U.S. unemployment: close to 10 percent.  Add those who've given up looking for work and the real rate approaches 20 percent.  American voters know one thing: if they don't have jobs, they have an economic crisis.  And when they see government wasting trillions as jobs get more scarce, they revolt, as we saw when Scott Brown upset decades of Democratic control in Massachusetts.

Today we will discuss a powerful new book that details what this downfall might mean for America.

He paid the penalty for the sin of mankind, and we who believe can stand before God forgiven, our debt cancelled, thanks to Him.  Redemption began in the mind of God.  It found its completion on a hill outside Jerusalem.

Many people think they somehow have to earn their way into heaven.  They don't realize how much that would cost.  The penalty for sin has to be paid before anyone can enter God's holy presence.  When Jesus cried out "it is finished," He was signaling to all who could hear Him that His imminent death would pay that debt...in full.

It's a great joy to burn a mortgage.  The bill is paid in full.  The house is now yours...no one else can lay claim to it.  When Jesus cried out, "It is finished," He was declaring the debt of sin "paid in full."  These are words, not of despair, but of victory.  And that victory means eternal life for those who believe, and receive Him.

It's a great paradox.  The one Who said "I thirst" from the cross is the one Who says "if any man thirst, let Him come to Me." He paid the price that lets sinful man drink from the fountains of eternal life.  Without Him, we face a terrible eternal thirst.  Are you thirsting for life that will never end?  If so, please listen, as we learn more about a cry from the cross.

The crucifixion of Christ was not an accident of history.  The painful details of that awful day were foretold in Scripture.  When Jesus said, "I thirst," He fulfilled the words of Psalm 69.  In fact, Jesus fulfilled the words of many prophets spoken hundreds of years before He came, words that told of a sacrifice, a "wounding for our transgressions," all to bring us to God.

In this life, we will never understand the sufferings of Christ on Calvary, nor His pain when the Father forsook Him there.  We hear Him say, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?" but we can't understand what it was like for the Son to lose fellowship with the Father.  Today:  some lessons we can understand from the fourth saying of Christ on the cross.

There are many mysteries in the Bible: mysteries we can never fully understand.  One of them was uttered by Jesus on the cross; "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?"  God turns His back on His only Son as the Lamb of God is slain.   Today, we will describe the unthinkable mystery, and then try to comprehend it.

As Jesus committed His mother into John's care, He commissions us to care for those around us who have nowhere else to turn.  Do you know anyone like this?

While on His cross, Jesus granted forgiveness to a dying thief on a nearby cross...a man who believed Jesus when He said "Today you will be with Me in Paradise."  Are you sure of your future after death?  Today we will learn of the "Cry of Assurance."

But forgiving your executioners is far different.  Here the Son of God exhibits the heart of God in stark clarity.  Can any of us comprehend this kind of compassion?

The Bible reveals this truth: although these wounds were inflicted by Roman soldiers and approved by Jewish leaders, in actual fact God Himself was the One behind the crucifixion of His own Son.

If we trust Christ for salvation, that empty tomb in Jerusalem is a promise that the tombs you and I shall occupy will one day be empty as well.  Death is the last enemy to be destroyed, and the resurrection of Jesus is proof that the grave is not our final home.

It was on a high place, perhaps Israel's Mount Tabor.  Jesus gave three disciples a blinding vision of the future.  Here, Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ, symbolizing Jesus as the fulfillment of both the law and the prophets.   God's voice thundered from a cloud, and the experience was so powerful that, years later, Peter wrote of it as being "on the Holy Mountain."

When you've set out to attack someone verbally, and then find yourself out-reasoned, all you may have left is pure rage.  That was the case when the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons using Satan's power.  Jesus replied, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."  That left them speechless, and plotting to destroy Him. Today we learn of the turning tide of opinions against Jesus.

In Old Testament times, people connected sickness with personal sin.  We now know this connection is not always accurate.  But Jesus used that common perception in healing a paralyzed man, beginning by forgiving his sins, and thus infuriating the nearby Jewish scribes.  Today we will look at a great miracle, and the testimony it bears about the Son of God.

There are times when you really need friends, especially at crisis points when we're powerless to solve our own problems.  Four men wanted to help a sick man get well.  Their determination to get their friend to Jesus was noted by the Savior Himself, even though they broke through a man's roof to get the job done.  When we can't help ourselves, God provides others who can bear our burdens.

What exactly is a miracle?  C.S. Lewis defined it as "an interference with nature by a supernatural power."  The miracles of Jesus were clear, public, long-lasting, and not in dispute, even by His enemies.  Those miracles testify to His being the Son of God, and were performed not to amaze, but rather, to teach.  In today's message we will look at one of those dramatic miracles.

The Sea of Galilee was home base for the disciples Jesus first called.  No doubt about it, they knew fishing very well.  So when their new master told them where to toss their nets, it took unusual grace to do as they were asked.  Their obedience was rewarded handsomely when those full nets almost broke.  Today we look at a lesson for disciples then and now.

Many people work their entire lives, hoping that someday they'll have a higher calling than the drudgery of a daily job.  When Jesus called Simon and Andrew away from their fishing nets, He said they would become fishers of men.  For these two, that higher calling meant leaving their boats behind.  Do we hear the higher calling of Christ?  Are we willing to pay the price to follow it?

Would you leave a lifetime job and head into the financial unknown if a man walked up to you and said, "Come and follow Me?"  To those who became His disciples, the call of Jesus was clear and unambiguous.  And their response was to immediately leave their nets behind.  Are we as quick to heed the call of Christ?  If not, perhaps today's broadcast is tailor-made for each of us.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," people say.  Many of us seek immediate gain rather than long-term benefit.  Some of us want our comforts and happiness more than we want to do the will of God.  By denying Himself for forty days in the wilderness, Jesus showed us that there's a higher purpose in life than feeling good and getting what we want.

During Hurricane Katrina, many people stole food in their distress.  Illegal?  Yes.  But OK under the circumstances?  These situations are tougher in real life than they are in theory.  Jesus had not eaten for forty days when Satan said, "make these stones into bread."  Temptations are wanting to fulfill legitimate desires in a way God does not intend.

When you travel east from Jerusalem, you find yourself in a barren wilderness.  Rocks are everywhere, water is scarce. Here, Jesus was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan.  Weakened by hunger and thirst, the Son of God faced His enemy, and taught us how to face that same enemy.  In today's message we trace the story of forty tough days in the life of Christ.

When Jesus sought out John to be baptized in the river Jordan, He was creating a picture for all who would follow Him...  That picture was one that predicted His coming atoning death and God's power in bringing Him back from the grave.  Baptism is a public display of our belief in a life after death.  Today: final lessons we can take home from the baptism of Christ.

Feelings of rejection set in, as Adam and Eve's story repeats again and again down through history.

Communication breakdowns affect nearly every marriage at one time or another, and this began quite early in history.  In fact, we have record of it in the Garden of Eden.

Left to ourselves, we're basically narcissistic.  We'd much rather meet our own needs than meet the needs of others.  Enter marriage.  In matrimony, two people have to care for each other.  This combats the inherent selfishness we all share.  In many ways, marriage is a crucible in which character is forged, and where happiness is found in pleasing your mate, not yourself.

The central idea of the marriage vow is this: you and your mate pledge that sexual activity is restricted to the two of you...  No old flames...no flings...no other partners.  To violate this destroys the trust that a working marriage requires, as well as violating the commands of the God who designed marriage in the first place.  Today: why keeping your vows is crucial if your marriage is to make it.

It would be a long journey from tending sheep in the desert to commanding Egypt's pharaoh, "Let my people go."  Moses was molded by God through four decades in a desert to ultimately lead Israel out of bondage into freedom.  Your life's road may be rocky at times as well.  But it's those desert lessons that prepare us to be used by God in ways we cannot imagine.

If life was a bed of roses, we'd never appreciate how good roses smell.  For Moses, the desert gave him that appreciation....  Herding sheep was Moses' lot for 40 years, a time during which God was preparing him for leadership beyond his wildest dreams.  And many of us are now in the desert, learning lessons for a future day when we will understand why we needed to learn them.

In a failing economy, some executives find themselves waiting on tables at restaurants.  They've got a friend in Moses....  For Moses, the economy failed when he fled the court of Pharaoh after murdering an Egyptian.  Once in line for the throne, now he's tending sheep, a job he would live on for 40 years in a barren desert.  Today: how to handle being over-qualified.

Most of us know Moses parted the Red Sea as Egypt's Pharaoh "let his people go."  Lesser known is how Moses got there....  The race of life for Moses led him through valleys as well as mountains.  One of those valleys was a 40-year stint in the desert tending sheep: quite a comedown from his role at Pharaoh's palace.  Today: a lesson on preparation for true leadership.

Christmas Day: a welcome break from the hectic days that are finally over.  Spend some time now remembering Jesus....  The "peace on earth" spoken of in the Christmas story will not happen until Jesus sets up his kingdom on earth.  He will deliver the whole world from the scourge of war.  But when He first came to live among men, very few people understood that.

The Jews of Jesus' day were enslaved by the Roman Empire, eager for anyone to deliver them from Caesar's yoke....  That's why some saw in Jesus the deliverer that had been foretold.  They wanted a leader to overthrow Rome's tyranny.  But Jesus had a larger deliverance to make: a deliverance from the power of sin.  Today: we'll see Jesus from God's vantage point.

In a Nazareth synagogue, Jesus opened a scroll of Isaiah the prophet and began to read.  A hush fell over the audience....  He read of good news for the poor, freedom for prisoners, sight for the blind, and liberty for the oppressed, ending by saying "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears."  Only the Son of God could say that.

Through a simple, uncluttered life, He taught us by example how to serve one another.  Today: we conclude our look at Christ the Servant as foreseen in the writings of Isaiah.

In general, kings do not perform the role of servants.  They have a retinue of people whose sole job it is to serve the king.  Jesus will return one day as King of Kings.  However, in His first coming He was a servant to the will of God, giving His life to save His people from their sins.  Today: we begin a look into three chapters of Isaiah, chapters revealing what kind of servant Jesus was.

Let's let Isaiah the prophet lift our spirits by reminding us of the future reign of Christ the King on this earth.   Indeed, the baby Jesus will be a baby no longer when his thousand-year reign of peace dispels the darkness of war and suffering.

Three wise men visited the young Jesus after His birth.  We recall their famous trek when we sing the carol "We Three Kings."  Kings in ancient times had almost absolute power.  A person's life or death was in a ruler's hand.  Nowadays, presidents and congresses come and go.  Today: a look forward to a time of a real king really ruling: Jesus on this earth.

Americans have little use for kings.  Kings have absolute rule...that's why we declared independence in 1776.  Kings have a total claim on their subjects' lives, time, and taxes.  We're not used to that these days...we see kings as relics of a bygone era.  But today: we'll see why Christ is the long foretold King of Kings, and what that title means.

At the mall we're assailed by lights, trees, tinsel, ornaments, and all sorts of holiday cheer.  What you won't find there is much reference to the Christ whose coming is the reason for the season.

Evolution is, at best, an attempt to evade God's authority over what He's made.  That attempt will always fail....  Once the arguments are over, one simple fact remains: there must have been a beginning.  And only God could have made what exists out of the nothing that had to precede the something.  Today, we visit Job for the last time, who, after hearing all the evidence, repents in dust and ashes.

In war, killing civilians is called collateral damage.  Our culture is reeling from the collateral damage done by Charles Darwin...<br><br>
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.

Charles Darwin made history with <i>On the Origin of Species.</i>  This book helped launch evolution on its way...<br><br>
The battle lines are drawn.  Christians believe in a Creator God.  Evolutionists believe in random chance.  The bottom line: if there's no God, there's no one to judge our behavior.  And a lot of people would like that just fine.  Today:  we begin a series on "The Darwin Delusion."

Tension...quarrels...fights...at one time or another, all of us find ourselves in conflict with someone else.  It's no fun. Even Christians have a dark side...desires within that can snare us on the race of life.  The Bible says, "Take heed, lest you fall."  Any of us can tumble off the spiritual mountaintop, because the war within each believer is very real.

The Christian life: joy, assurance, and deep satisfaction.  But it's also a life of suffering.  Can these co-exist? Today, we'll learn why faith always leads to ultimate victory, but may not change our immediate circumstances.  We'll come full-circle in our series on unanswered prayer, and then, find ourselves content with the God to Whom we pray.

We Americans have short attention spans.  We're used to soundbite news, fast food, and immediate solutions to problems.  However, many people pray for years, asking God for deliverance from appalling situations.  The answers never seem to come.  So, faith is not getting what we want...faith says we accept what God gives us.  Please stay tuned.

All around us are people with long term health issues...issues that seem to have no resolution, short of divine healing. But when these people pray for healing, the answer appears to be an ongoing "no."  They hear the verse, "my strength is made perfect in weakness," and sadly wish that their answer had been "here's the healing you seek."  Are you disappointed with God today?  Stay with us.

When Christians find themselves in a time of need, they naturally pray for God to provide.  Sometimes the answer is "no...."  How we then react is crucial.  We must come to understand that even the "no" answers are still answers, and that God is fully aware of our needs and what is best for us.  Today: why our faith can grow even when the answer is no.

When we earnestly pray for something we believe to be in God's will, and find the answer to be "no," what do we do?   First, remember that you're in good company.  The Apostle Paul had a great need...he sought the Lord repeatedly for relief.  But the answer was "No, My grace is sufficient for you, My strength is made perfect in weakness."  Today: more about what to do when the answer is "no."

It's tough taking "no" for an anwer.  As children, we all felt those "no's," when our parents chose to deny our requests.  As children of God, there are times when the answer to a prayer of ours is a clear "no."  We have a choice: these times can either make us resentful, or, they can increase our faith.  Today: how to react and respond when God denies a petition we make to Him.

When it seems our nation is ripping away from its moorings, we as believers need to understand the prophet Habakkuk.  This prophet lived in a time of turmoil not unlike our own.  His small book in the Old Testament is a remarkable one-way dialog with God, a dialog that reveals the prophet's own journey of faith from frustration to the calm assurance that God is in charge.

Habakkuk the prophet might as well have been writing in our day.  Many of his observations belong on the front page.  It's easy to feel trapped with no way out.  Evildoers are having a field day and the foundations of the nation are being torn apart.  Yet, in the midst of turmoil, the prophet has a burst of faith that God is still in charge, just as He is for the USA.

America looks a lot like the Israel that Habakkuk the prophet had to deal with.  Things are bad and getting worse.  The prophet's dialogs with God reveal a man wrestling with how God could seemingly be out of touch with how tough things really were.  Today, we'll get into the heart of the prophet's complaint as we learn lessons on praying during dark times.

Our nation seems to be heading down a path toward more government control and less freedom.  So, what should Christians do?  It's not unlike the scenario painted by Habakkuk the prophet: things were bad and getting worse.  In all that was happening, he was asking God "Where are You?"  Disaster was near, and it seemed God was not concerned.  Today: lessons from a prophet on prayer.

When God answers our prayers in ways we don't expect, He's reminding us that it's Him we really need, not the answers.  Today, we're concluding a message on making sure our relationships with God are strong and growing, realizing that knowing Him is far more vital than getting what we want from Him.  Stay with us for some practical ways to strengthen your connection with God.

There's a process that takes place as we mature as Christians.  Our prayers shift from asking for things, to asking for God.  That's why some of our prayers are answered in ways that surprise us.  God wants a relationship with each of His children, a relationship that transcends all the daily details we think are so crucial.  That's why His responses to our prayers may be disguised.

Sometimes, we ask God for things we clearly need.  No answer is forthcoming.  But then, out of left field, another answer comes our way.  Prayer is something of a mystery.  We're commanded to ask in faith, without doubting.  The answers sometimes come from unexpected directions, even unrelated to what we asked for.  Today: another perspective on the matter of unanswered prayer: answers in disguise.

All too many people bring high hopes to these kinds of meetings, only to leave disappointed, told that they lacked enough faith to claim their rightful healing.  Can believers expect physical healing on demand?   Today: some straight talk on when God fulfills His promises.

Most of us get antsy when having to wait more than five minutes at McDonald's.  Oh, to be Abraham in the Old Testament.  God gave this man promises that would not come to pass for hundreds of years.  Abraham died before seeing any of them fulfilled.  Next time you feel like God is a bit slow in answering your prayers, remember: His scale of time is bigger than yours...He has a larger agenda.

We're truly creatures of time, and waiting means minutes, hours and days.  But months and years?  That's tough.  When we pray for something, we hope for a quick response from God.  But God has His own clock, not always in sync with ours.  How do we handle prayers that, to us, are time critical, when the answers seem to be anything but?

Unanswered prayers and suffering form in us the quality of endurance.  Today: more on what to do when prayer does not seem to work.

Some philosophers see both good and evil in human nature.  For them, the side that wins is determined by our environment.  As much as we'd like to take credit for being basically nice people, only the new life implanted by God in the new birth can take a bad man and make him good.  Then our new desires for righteousness will spring forth in any environment.

Fact is, we can't win in life's race without agreeing with God about our basic condition.  We need His grace, not to supplement our goodness, but to save us from our depravity.

Control freaks are obsessed with themselves.  It's sad, but true: by subjugating others, they seek to elevate their own importance.  At some point such people become evil, as did King Saul of Israel.  Today, we'll trace the life of a man so hard-hearted that he would not let go of his kingdom even when God told him to.  To find out what happened, stay with us.

We're so deceived; we think we're OK as long as we keep our sins in balance, like a circus juggler.  We do this, knowing full well that God is not fooled.  Yet, we do it anyway.

She wanted to hear what we want to hear: that we are really OK, if not beautiful people.  So we look for mirrors on our walls to show us what we want to see.  The result: self-delusion, and one answer as to why good people do bad things.

There are times in the life of every believer when things get so bad that we doubt God's care.  That's when Satan strikes.  Flaming arrows come our way challenging our faith, making us question if God is truly good.  Today: why you and I need the shield of faith to deflect these missiles of doubt, and, how we're to use this piece of spiritual armor.

Flaming arrows...that's the image the Bible uses when describing the attacks of the devil on believers who want to live for God.  There is a defense Christians can use to ward off Satan's fiery darts.  We can protect ourselves with what the Apostle Paul calls "the shield of faith."  Today, we'll learn how to use this piece of the armor of God, and see how a strong faith can block arrows of doubt.

Some think peace is just the absence of conflict.  But God can give us inner calm even when the world is topsy-turvy.  Jesus knew His disciples would face extreme trials.  Most would die as martyrs after suffering great persecution.  The peace He left them is one of the weapons in the armor of God, a weapon we're told to wear as shoes.  So, how's your peace today?

Taking the gospel of peace to a world under Satan's dominion: that's a sure way to find yourself immediately at war.  The devil sets his sights on any believer obeying the command to take the gospel to another person.  Only by having the peace of God within, can that believer withstand the attacks of Satan from without.  Today: more from Paul's teaching on the armor of God - our equipment for victory.

"Peace I leave with you...my peace I give unto you...."  The words of Jesus are very dear when circumstances get tough.  The peace of God is unlike any kind of peace we can get from the world.  God's peace is there even when it seems all hope is lost.  And this peace is a great defense when the devil is on the attack.  Today:  making sure we have the peace Jesus promised.

Inner calm: it's great when everything around you is a swirl of conflict.  In trying times, peace is what we need.  And peace is much more than just a sense of well-being.  Its basis is what Paul calls "the gospel of peace," good news that gives us assurance of a future that will transcend our daily stress.  Are you experiencing the peace of God today?  If not, listen with us.

      <description><![CDATA[Who Are You To Judge?
May 20nd through May 31st
A church that has made its peace with the world can no longer affect it As 21st century Christians, we have settled down to a complacent form of faith that demands very little of us, and thus makes very little impact on the world. When secular values infiltrate the church, we accept them without a twinge of conscience and congratulate ourselves on our tolerance. We believe that we no longer have the right to challenge secular trends and decisions, in or out of the church. Erwin Lutzer looks at today's world, and confronts us with our responsibility, as believers in the church of Jesus Christ, to again be a force for what is right...not easy.<br><br>

      <description><![CDATA[Children of an Awesome God
April 12th through May 19th
When the economy is tanking, we may not find much encouragement in our surroundings.  Many of us are fearful for the future.  But for the Christian, this is a good reminder that our real security and treasure lies in the world to come.  This is the teaching we find in the book of Romans chapter 8, teaching that can transform our outlook as it changes our lives.  We hope Pastor Lutzer's series "Children of An Awesome God" will help you to more fully understand your place and privilege in the family of God.<br><br>

The news that Ted Haggard had to resign from his church in Colorado because of sexual immorality has touched all of us very deeply. Whether we knew him or not, many of us knew of him and the great work that God had done through him in the past. We're praying regularly for him and his family as they endure a crisis that can scarcely be imagined.]]></description>
