You are entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own truth. This week, Pastor Lutzer discusses God's universal truth found in John 14:6.
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
- John 14:6
God has always been ruling, during times of peace and even in times of war. This week, Pastor Lutzer speaks with us about God's eternal throne from Psalm 45:6-7.
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kindgom is a scepter of uprightness; you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness."
- Psalm 45:6-7a
We were created for God's glory. This week, Pastor Lutzer explores God's eternality from Romans 1:19-20.
"For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse."
- Romans 1:19–20
Can you see the future? God can. This week, we begin to explore God's eternality in Deuteronomy 33:27.
"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
- Deuteronomy 33:27a

Dr. Warren Wiersbe, known as “the pastor’s pastor” and a trusted Bible teacher and writer, died yesterday in Lincoln, Nebraska at the age of 89. Most people will remember him for his many books—at least 150—while others will remember him for his solid, practical Bible teaching on the Back to the Bible radio program, or his seminars on Sermon Preparation at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Dallas Theological Seminary. The list of his accomplishments is long.
Wiersbe was a wordsmith ...
So, who created God? This week we consider God's eternality from Psalm 90:2-4.
"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You return man to dust and say, 'Return, O children of man!' For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night."
- Psalm 90:2–4
The moment you and I speak about the attribute of love, there is a tension between how that love is to be applied. Pastor Lutzer explores the tension that comes with the love of God in Exodus 34:6.
"The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, 'The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.'"
- Exodus 34:6
How can we believe that God is loving when He doesn't intervene as we expect a loving God would? This week, Pastor Lutzer confronts our expectations of love from Romans 8:38-39.
"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
- Romans 8:38–39
The loss of the beautiful Cathedral of Notre-Dame has touched all of us deeply. Those of us who have had the privilege of visiting this iconic cathedral marvel at its Gothic architecture. I have watched people come into the cathedral and as soon as they adjust to the semi-darkness, their eyes follow the high columns heavenward. This is, of course, the very point of Gothic architecture; it speaks of transcendence, inviting us to look up beyond ourselves to God in humble worship.
As has been reported on the news, this cathedral has weathered political revolutions and two World Wars. When ...
What does it mean that God loves the world? Does this mean His love is unconditional? This week, we explore the deeper question behind John 3:16.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16
