Series: When God Is First
When we hear of Christians persecuted for their faith, we often think of high profile people like preachers or missionaries. But a day is coming when ordinary believers will feel the heat as the rising hatred of Christ brings suffering on a wide scale. Our allegiance to Jesus will be tested and we will be sifted like wheat to see if we are the real grain, or merely useless chaff.

Series: When God Is First
The rights of American believers to exercise their religion are now being destroyed, bit by bit. Clearly, persecution is coming. What do we do when faced with tough choices? Choices where we need to decide if we will obey God or man? The book of Acts gives us a blueprint on how to handle suffering for Christ and there may be a lot of that awaiting us in the days ahead. It's time for a much-needed reality check.

Series: When God Is First
The gift of tongues has been a battleground for a long time. Some say it proves you're filled with the Spirit, so you'd better have it. To help clear up confusion, let's focus on what actually happened in the first century, and discover why the gift of tongues was given and what kind of tongues they really were. You may have had questions about all of this for some time.

It's said that "the pen is mightier than the sword." Yes, words are powerful, and when spoken, they can cut like swords. If we could rewind the tapes of our lives and hear all we've said, we'd probably be shocked. Our tongues can be lethal weapons. Only under God's control can they bring blessing rather than cursing. So how's your tongue these days?

As a runner heads into the last turn, sometimes his energy begins to run out. What he then needs is a source of power. Like runners getting a second wind, we're not left to carry out the Great Commission without resources. Jesus promised power, and when He has first place in our lives, that power begins to flow. How do we receive it?

Series: When God Is First
The message is clear. Our culture and the media tell us to "look out for number one." And, in a way, they're right. Running the race of life involves understanding who is in charge. Once we realize that "number one" is not us, the race gets a lot easier. Today let's take the first step in living life with God in firm control.

Series: Restoring the Soul
It's said, "you can run, but you can't hide."  When it comes to sexual sin, there's no ultimate way to cover up the damage. King David's tortured journey through moral failure shows us God's determination that we repent, and His mercy in restoring our souls, allowing us to once again serve Him as we should. Today: how we, like David, can come back to God.

Series: Restoring the Soul
King David had no excuse. With several wives, he had no need for additional sex. But along came Bathsheba. The fire of lust burned, a baby was conceived, and a king ended up sanctioning murder to cover up the scandal. But the story didn't end there. David acknowledged his sin, sought forgiveness, and found restoration with God. So can any of us who has sinned sexually.

Series: Restoring the Soul
Although we're all programmed to love a quick fix, breaking the cycle of moral failure is a process, not an event. Addictions to pornography and illicit sex run deep, but the cure runs deeper still. That cure requires something to believe, something to do, and something to share. Today, we focus on what we must do in order to be free.

Years ago pornography was sold from behind the counter. Nowadays it's free, delivered to the privacy of your own computer. No wonder there's an epidemic of sexual addiction sweeping our culture. People turn their fantasies into realities, and families are being destroyed daily. Today: how to break the cycle of sexual addiction, and swim against a rising tide of immorality.

They say the future is an open book. The pages are blank...nothing's written down. But the past, that's a different story. Many look back and see horrible abuses they've suffered, or, others they've abused. Even though forgiven by God, they feel dirty, and that feeling turns to depression and anger, sometimes toward God. Is there a way out? Please stay with us.

When Jesus healed people, they had to want to be healed. The same is true for those seeking forgiveness...they had to desire it. The woman who wiped her own tears from Jesus' feet knew that this man could restore her dignity as well as forgive her moral sins. How badly do we want to be restored to fellowship with God? Today: a woman points the way for us to find the healing of our own souls.

At what point is forgiveness impossible? Some feel that one moral failure condemns them. What about a hundred? Many assume God won't forgive moral sins, so they sin all the more, not knowing the mercy of the Christ who died for sins like these. Today: a real-life story of how Jesus restored the dignity of someone with a lifetime of sexual sin.

When pop stars sing about lovers they can't get out of their minds, they're on the right track.  Those lovers are now part of them. Immoral relationships create very deep bonds, even between people having what they think is casual sex. And the more bonds we make, the tougher they are to break. Today: finding the way out of the damage done by not obeying God's moral rules.

Looking back on the scars of a broken relationship, one man said "Oh, the price I've had to pay for fifteen seconds of pleasure."  Sex, with the wrong person, is more than a one-night stand. It imprints the partners with an indelible soul tie that can follow them to the grave. And multiple partners mean multiple soul ties, making real commitment almost impossible. Today we will learn how to break those bonds.

"I can do it and not get caught, if it's beautiful, it must be right...and, after all, I'm entitled to my own happiness." Time for some straight talk. Those are lies from hell, by which we rationalize our disobedience to God's commands about sex. And our list is not yet complete. Today we look at more ways we twist the truth to allow us to do what our hormones demand.

When rationalizing behavior, people say, "It's only a little white lie." Trouble is, when it comes to sex, lies aren't white. Driven by our desires, we've become experts at self-deception.  We'll do whatever it takes to satisfy our urges, and then justify what we do by believing blatant lies.

Everyone has to handle sexual desires. Some do so God's way, while many choose their own path...the path of shame. The first couple sinned by disobeying God. Then the ripple effect moved into all areas of life, including sex. As time passed, people began using other people to gratify their desires without commitment. Today we look at one unavoidable after0effect of violating God's moral laws.

These days, some want to redefine marriage as any so-called loving relationship, no matter what gender the partners are. It's clear that our national soul is sick. Since marriage is God's appointed place for sex, marriage is under attack. People want to gratify their desires in every way but God's way. The result: millions of people's lives are tangled, their souls in turmoil. Stay with us.

It's one thing to have strong faith in God when the sun's shining and all's well with the world. It's quite another when storms come. Storms teach lessons that calm seas never teach. A boatload of prisoners was sailing to Rome when their vessel sank in gale force winds. Were it not for the courage of Paul, one of those prisoners, all would have been lost. Today we take a look at the last chapter in an amazing story of faith.

Mature Christians know God's will is not a flower-strewn pathway.  Often, storms arise that threaten to throw us off-course.  Paul was determined to go to Rome, knowing it would be a one0way trip.  He would take the gospel to the highest levels of government, but while enroute, a shipwreck would slow his journey.  Today we look at Paul's troubles on the way to see Caesar.

One never knows what a day may bring forth.  Locked up for two years, Paul suddenly faces a Roman King.  What would he say?  He was on his way to Rome, knowing he faced almost certain death there.  But not before getting the gospel to the heart of the world's dominant empire.  On the way, he plead his case before Rome's king in Israel at the time.  Paul seizes the moment to make sure the gospel is understood.

What do you do with a political football like Paul?  Various Roman leaders punted his case back and forth for two years.  Accused of sedition, the Jews wanted him dead.  Paul had appealed to Caesar, and ended up in a Caesarea prison.  Years passed.  Eventually a new governor appeals to Rome's King in Palestine, Herod Agrippa.  And so the gospel was taken to ever higher government levels.

Felix and his wife Drusilla found themselves confronted with the gospel, a message that brought their own sins to light.  Today we watch as the gospel works its power in the ancient world.

As the waves lapped on the nearby shore, Governor Felix came face to face with a man the likes of whom he had never seen.

The gospel brings liberty to a culture that's long been bound in tradition.  This new liberty is sometimes a problem.  Jewish customs were a big deal in Jerusalem, and some new believers there insisted that converts to the Christian faith keep observing Jewish laws.  The conflict was sharp, and Paul had to settle an argument that put the outreach of the gospel at risk.

What's your passion?  For some, it's making money.  For others, it's their art.  For Paul, it was the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The Apostle Paul rejected the counsel of his peers and went back to Jerusalem after completing two missionary journeys.  His determination to settle a church split there, drove him into hardship, deprivation, and eventually, execution in Rome.   What price would you pay to do God's will?

Today: that power on display atop a famous hill in a city known for its philosophers.

The explosive power of the gospel was beginning to be felt in the world of the first century.  The Holy Spirit began convicting of sin, causing a fearful jailer to ask, "What must I do to be saved?"

That word "power" in Greek is the word that gives us "dynamite" in English.  That power began to be felt in the early church, and today we'll begin tracing the impact the gospel made in the first century.

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.

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, and 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.

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 stay with us, as we learn more about a cry from the cross.

In just two words, Jesus proves His humanity as He hangs on the cross.  Two words prove that His sufferings were real.  We hear Him say, "I thirst," not understanding how painful that thirst was.  This cry from the cross of shame came from the same One who would later freely offer the water of life to all who would believe.  Today: we come to grips with the awful price Jesus paid to reconcile us with God.

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 try to comprehend it.

Could more heart-rending words ever be spoken than these from the cross: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?"  Jesus was abandoned by God the Father as the price of sin was paid in full.  In this dark moment, Jesus uttered the fourth of the seven sayings from the cross, and today we'll try to understand what He meant.

As Jesus committed His mother into John's care, He commissions us to care for those around us who have nowhere else to turn.  Today: lessons from some of the last words of the dying Savior.

Today we will explore who is covered by that atonement, and who it is that receives the forgiveness Jesus asked for.

"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."  While dying, Jesus asks God to pardon His enemies. Extending forgiveness to someone who offends you is one thing.  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?

Hidden in the counsels of God are all the reasons why He sent Jesus to the cross.  Christ's wounds paid a great debt and the Bible associates those wounds with our healing in Isaiah chapter 53.  Seeing such love, we stand in reverence, wonder, and worship, we long to know how we can rightly respond to a God who would go so far to restore us to Himself.

Death, that's everyone's unavoidable fate, the legacy of the first sin committed by Adam and Eve.  But believers cling to the promise of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life...he that believes in me, though he may die, he shall live."

It is still a peaceful place, as pilgrims meditate on the great transaction that took place here in an ancient garden.  Gethsemane lies on the Mount of Olives facing the Old City of Jerusalem.  Jesus spent a night in agonized prayer here before being nailed to a cross outside the city wall.  His task: to drink the cup of suffering for you and for me.  What does this mean?

To walk where Jesus walked means walking with Him in Gethsemane.  Here a decision was reached that made salvation possible for billions of believers yet to be born.

It was on a mountaintop, perhaps Israel's Mount Tabor.  Jesus gave three of His 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 the cloud, and the experience was so powerful that Peter wrote of it years later 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 watch as the tide of opinion turns against Jesus.

What exactly is a miracle?  C.S. Lewis defined a miracle 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 this message we take a look at one of those dramatic miracles.

Many people work their entire lives, hoping that someday they will 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'd 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?

Here are a few lessons we can take home from the baptism of Christ.

"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 is but a steppingstone to a glory that will never end.

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.

A death-row inmate faces a grim prospect.  His date with execution will soon arrive.  He's got nowhere to turn.  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.

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 of blessings that they will inherit as children of God.  Our outlook on life becomes an uplook when we realize what lies ahead.

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.

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.

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.  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 what's happening is 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.

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.

When the economy worsens, many people find themselves suffering for the first time.  No job, foreclosure, and 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.  This is why we never groan alone when experiencing trials.

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 as we look toward a future glory that makes our present suffering infinitesimal in comparison.

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...that's exactly what you are as a child of God.  In the book of Romans, we read: "The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs...joint heirs with Christ."

Many people are deluded, seeing themselves as they want to, not as they are.  This can lead to tragic consequences.  Today, insights on self-perception: seeing yourself and your surroundings the way God sees them.

Series: Why Good People Do Bad Things
When Timothy McVeigh went to his execution, America was left wondering how a decorated war veteran could've done something so evil . . . many ask why seemingly good people turn bad...people who, based on all outward evidence, should act properly.  The answer lies in understanding our fundamental nature.  If you're willing to face the truth, please stay with us.

Some of us make New Year's resolutions, which are quickly broken.  Today, you'll hear a challenge for one resolution you should keep.  In Gethsemane, Jesus roused his sleeping disciples, asking "Could you not pray with me one hour?" Erwin Lutzer is placing that question before us today.  As a new year dawns, let's covenant to set aside one hour a week for Jesus.

The Olive trees there are very old.  They were younger when Jesus prayed before his execution on the cross.  The location is Gethsemane: a place, even today, for tears.  Here, Jesus asked His disciples to pray with him.  They fell asleep, prompting the Savior to ask, "Could you not watch with me one hour?"  Today: we ask that question anew.

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.

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.

The people 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.  On this Christmas Day: 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.

In fact, according to the prophecies of Isaiah, He came as a servant. Today: we continue our look at Christ the servant, the one whose life, death and resurrection make Christmas possible.

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's needs....  Jesus will return one day as King of Kings.  But 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 that reveal 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.

Americans have little use for kings.  Kings have absolute rule....that's why we declared independence in 1776.  Kings have a total claim on people's 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.

Like a diamond, the purity of Jesus radiates in many facets as we behold His glory.  Isaiah gave us names to describe these characteristics in the ninth chapter of his prophecy.

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.  Today: we're set to rectify that imbalance.

Just because Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still doesn't mean we can.  It just isn't true that "every promise in the book is mine."  But there are powerful Bible promises we can, and should, stake our lives on.

He needed more daylight to defeat an enemy, so he asked God to make the sun stand still.  Now that's faith.  Today: lessons we can learn from an event that seems to defy the rules of nature.  Stay with us, as we pay a visit to the Valley of Ajilon.

It's sad, but it's true.  Many believers attempt to manage their sins rather than to confess and forsake them.  They think they can control their lives and keep a lid on the infection eating them up inside.  They keep their sins a secret, feeling sure they can contain the damage.  But the story of Joshua and Achan proves otherwise.  Today: some sober conclusions we must understand.

Today's armies don't conduct warfare the way ancient Israel took Jericho.  You don't march around and shout, you attack....  But they did march around Jericho's walls, because God's purpose was to prove to them that He and only He caused their victory.  As Zechariah would later write: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord."

Fact is, though, He is watching.  Jesus was in the Temple courtyard, watching as the rich made sure the crowds saw them give.  Then, He peered intently at a poor widow who dropped her last two mites in the treasury.  The object lesson was clear.

It's always big news when a wealthy benefactor drops a few million on a college or pays for a new hospital wing...<br><br>
But no one seems to notice a poor person giving a quarter to someone else in need.  That is, no one but Jesus, whose keen eye watched a lady entering the temple courts one day in Jerusalem.  Could you ever be commended by God for giving, like this woman, all you have?

An old proverb says "many hands make light work."  In the church, everyone has a part in meeting financial needs.<br><br>
In the book of Exodus, we read of the building of God's tabernacle.  There's great detail on everyone's contribution, both of time and treasure, to make the project a success.  When we see giving as an act of worship, we cease focusing on the money and begin focusing on God.

In a weakening economy, it's easy to reduce our giving to the work of God.  After all, we need to eat and pay the rent...<br><br>
Many of us are burdened with debt at the same time as our jobs are in jeopardy.  So, what do we do?  Today, we begin a series that will show us how to honor God no matter how empty our wallets get.  The key...realizing that our use of money is one way in which we worship God.

These are known as times of revival, times when new life comes to the church, and then to the community at large.  When this happens, we say that "God has come to church."  Today, an encouraging look back to times when God indeed came to church, and words of hope that He'll do so again.

Some of us are early risers.  We hit the ground running, do our day's work, spend time with the family, and then hit the sack at bedtime...<br><br>
Others are night people...preferring to sleep in and then work and play in the dark.  The Bible talks about day people and night people as well, although in a different way.  Today, find out if you're a day person, or a night person...the distinction is crucial.

When it seems the news can't get any worse, it does.  Many wish for the Lord's return, to put an end to the bad news...<br><br>
The Christian knows that this world is not his home, he's just passing through.  In First Thessalonians we learn of the glorious return of Jesus to set right all that is wrong, and, to take His followers to be with Him.  As we wait, the church is called to be watchful.

When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone, He most assuredly was not handing down the ten suggestions...<br><br>
There are laws at work in the spiritual universe: laws that can neither be debated, nor circumvented.  We may claim freedom from the law as believers, thinking we can do as we please.  But God has a word for those of us who feel this way, a word brought to us by the Apostle Paul.

Taking a stand for what's right means going against the prevailing tide.  To do this, we need strength from God...<br><br>
To a large extent, that strength comes from developing a life of prayer.  The Apostle Paul modeled this for us in his writings to the church at Thessalonica in ancient Greece.  Today: how prayer gives us the courage to hold our ground for the truth of the gospel.

It's not always popular to be seen taking a stand.  But when God comes in unusual power to a church, we often see courage and resolve that was not there before.  Today, how the ancient church in Thessalonica took their stand, and how we can imitate them today as darkness settles over our land.

Everybody likes a servant.  We all enjoy being waited on.  But not many of us like being the ones doing the waiting...<br><br>
Servants have to serve even when those they serve don't appreciate it.  They know that God watches their service, and is pleased.  A church that serves is a church where God's presence is felt very strongly.  That's a lesson we're taking home from our current study on revival.

That's what happens in a church experiencing the direct moving of God in their midst.  A desire to serve others rises to the top, as it did in ancient Thessalonica.  Paul commended this church for their service, and today, we'll learn the lessons they learned so long ago.

Fractured, broken, stressed, dysfunctional...all these words describe a crisis in the most basic unit of society...a crisis that begins when marriages fail.  Today: a candid look at the causes of these failures.

The resulting carnage of divorce and shattered families leaves a trail of dysfunction for generations.  God intended marriage to develop character, not just fulfill sensual desire.  Those who opt out of their marriages miss many rewards.  Today: what those rewards are.

There's good evidence in the Bible that marriage is designed more to develop character than to insure a lifetime of bliss.  When the rough spots come, and they will, what are couples to take from those experiences?  Today: a frank dose of married reality.

In the old days, it was said, "his word is as good as his bond."  A handshake and a promise was all it took to seal the deal. These days, when a marriage breaks up, we have pre-nuptual agreements to divvy up the loot.  Few take seriously the covenant they enter into when they tie the knot and exchange the rings.  Today:  back to basics, and why marriage, in God's eyes, is a lifetime deal, come what may.

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.

The first people had a perfect place to live and no one to argue with, except each other.  Somehow, temptation and sin ended the paradise of Adam and Eve.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Series: The Darwin Delusion
Charles Darwin made history with "On the Origin of Species."  This book helped launch evolution on its way.  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."

When you try to swat a bee, be sure he'll try to sting you.  And when you hurt other people, they may just try to hurt you back.  One thing kids learn real quick is how to get even.  Taking revenge is a natural reaction when we're offended.  But the Bible commands us to not seek revenge.  Today: rising above our instincts and allowing God to be the one who makes things right.

It seems that conflict is inevitable.  Even if we do no wrong, someone out there is all set to do some wrong to us.  Resolving the resulting conflicts can be as painful as it is necessary.  We must extend forgiveness even when every emotion in us tells us to "get even" instead.  Today: more practical counsel on reconciliation:  making things right with God and man.

But many among us dread times like these because it means facing people who've hurt us, or worse, people we've hurt.  Unresolved conflicts are the collateral damage of sin, even forgiven sin.  Today: putting damaged relationships back on track.

Certain laws are built into the fabric of the universe...gravity...the speed of light...and the principles of sowing and reaping.  You can't avoid gravity, and you can't change the speed of light.  Neither can you buck the system that says "what you reap, you sow."  God uses this principle to teach His children to not sin...sometimes the lessons are hard.  If you find it tough to stop sinning, stay with us.

Most of us are creatures of habit.  It's easy to fall back into old patterns of sin, even after we've sought God's forgiveness.  Often we get tripped up in the race of life by returning to the detours of past behavior.  Some of us are quite sure there's no way to break out of the cycle of sin, forgiveness, restoration, and back to sin.  Today: we begin to find that way out.

The Bible says that when God forgives our sins, He "remembers them no more."  How can this be, since God knows everything?  After great spiritual failures we say with King David, "My sin is ever before me."  So how can it not be before God?  The answer lies in the concept of "covering."  Today: hope for all who fear their sins on earth will never be forgotten in heaven.

When we're faced with the long-term consequences of our sins, it can be hard to believe that God has really forgiven them.  Many who struggle with guilt find it returning to haunt them even after they've sought forgiveness from God.  We need to realize that God will help us deal with sin's consequences once we reckon ourselves clean in His sight through Christ.

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 wish, sadly, that their answer had been "here's the healing you seek."  Are you disappointed with God today?

Human love can fade when people grow tired of each other.  Divorce statistics prove that human love is fleeting at best.  Our motivation for service in the body of Christ, and for serving our marriage partners, must be found in what the Bible calls "agape" love, the love that comes from God.  Only then can we endure life's tough times, and remain faithful to those we're committed to.

These days some believers have switched off the local church, and are going it alone, or in small groups.  This is not healthy.  The body of Christ involves accountability to "those who have the rule over you." Only when we're part of a local fellowship can accountability take place.  Today: we'll turn to First Corinthians chapter 12 and learn what the local church is all about, and how to find out where we fit.

An old proverb says "Many hands make light work."  There's no doubt that sharing a task lightens everyone's burden.  In the body of Christ, everyone has a gift with which to serve others.  Knowing what that gift is, and putting it to work, are the keys to satisfaction and joy.  As each does his or her part, the result is a marvelous harmony.   Today: coming to grips with your gift.

For some, church is a weekly duty.  People go through the motions, really wishing the services would just get over sooner.  These people are missing out on the great adventure of finding their place in the body of Christ and learning how to serve in the power of the Spirit.  Today, we want to ignite in you a passion for the church you attend, and to renew your excitement in being used by God.

It's said that the first casualty of war is the truth.  That might also apply to politics, where truth is in short supply.  A person of integrity runs life's race without lying, and, without ever stretching the truth.  If you find a person like this, you've found a rare jewel.  Character is vital, and today: you'll hear more about the characteristics of a man or woman of integrity.

If another Christian accuses you of poor behavior because you do things he won't do, it's good to remember this: life is a race.  Helping a brother or sister stay on track is more important than flaunting your Christian liberty, or winning at their expense.  Don't be a stumbling-block: that's one key principle involved in judging our conduct.  For more principles, stay with us.

Some Christians have strong rules of behavior:  no movies, no dancing, and so on.  Others have no rules.  Who's right?  Many running life's race are tripped up by the conduct of believers around them, conduct they feel is inappropriate for a Christian.  How should we judge the behavior of others?  Or, is it our business to judge at all?

Demons try to subvert the purposes of God in every believer's life.  Our task: to discern the danger, and avoid opening the many doors that can lead us there.

But demonic influence is very real...it's enshrined in modern philosophies as well as the media: music, TV, the movies.  As believers running the race of the Christian life, we must understand what we're facing, and, how to deal with it.

But you can see yourself as a unique creation of God, and then, live in freedom.

The price tags have been switched, and now, many assess their value based on how they look.  This distorted view of self is damaging, especially to young people, including Christian young people.

Modern-day false prophets promise blessing without repentance, and prosperity for all who send a gift.  Some TV preachers exploit the vulnerable and lead many astray.  Today, how to tell when teaching is off the mark, and error has replaced truth.

When seeing the faults of others, our vision is 20/20.  But it's 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?

Many fear that evangelical distinctives are fading away.  It's high time for some straight talk about what can be done.

It's 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?

It's one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God...but it's another to put that knowledge to use when we find ourselves sinning every day.  The devil keeps accusing us of falling short of God's standards.  Today: some practical ways to wear "The Breastplate of Righteousness."

Inside, we all know that the slightest sin separates us from the white-hot purity of God.  And we all commit sin.  Satan the accuser points to us as Christians to say "Look at you.  You sinned again.  You have no right to stand before a holy God.  Give up...there's no hope you'll ever see heaven."  But there is one way to stop his foul mouth cold.  Today, you'll learn what it is.

The first lie ever told: Satan in the Garden of Eden.  "Has God said..." the serpent hissed, planting seeds of doubt.  He's still hissing that same old song today, trying to get believers to either doubt the scriptures, or, ignore them altogether.  It's all part of his strategy in "The Invisible War."  We need to wear "The Belt of Truth" to ward off these demonic temptations.

New army recruits are given weapons during basic training.  The idea is to learn how to use them well for the day of battle.  God has provided several weapons we as believers are to use to fight "The Invisible War."  The Apostle Paul names them in Ephesians chapter six, in a list he calls "the armor of God."  Today, we enter basic training to learn how to use weapon number one.

Series: The Invisible War
Our lives may seem peaceful, but always in the background is the sound of war.  That's because there is a war going on.  That war is in a place we cannot see.  Demonic forces wage a battle against the saints of God on a daily basis, a battle that won't end until we enter the eternal state.  Our job: learn to use God's weapons, that we may share in the ultimate victory.

Iraq...Afghanistan...the Middle East...terror attacks across the globe...war, it seems, is never far away and that's just on the plane of existence we can see.  But beyond what our senses can discern is a greater war, a cosmic conflict of the ages being fought by Satan and his legions against the purposes and plans of God.  Today, we lift the veil on "The Invisible War."

The greatest act of submission to the will of God was Jesus, the perfect Son of God, allowing Himself to be put to death.  To make sure we understood Calvary, God gave us Mount Moriah.  There Abraham, a picture of God the Father, was asked to sacrifice Isaac, the picture of Christ the Son.  To read Genesis 22 is to weep.  Today: we plumb the depths of a story only God could have written.

Have you ever really been put to the test by God?  A test that proves that you will obey Him...no matter what the cost?  There are few places in Scripture that draw more tears from the reader than the account found in Genesis 22.  Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac, the son of promise, the son through whose line the Redeemer was to come.  Isaac was to die.

When they woke up one fateful morning, the citizens of Sodom had no idea that this would be their last day alive.  Sodom's debauchery was relentless to the end.  The brimstone was on its way as God mercifully sent two angels to rescue Lot's family before the smoke rose.  Today: a story of compromise, and of a faith too weak to stand against evil...in short, "A Worldly Faith."

Warning: You may be deeply changed when you make the transfer of ownership from your hands to His.<br><br>
