There is no one like God, completely and morally perfect. God will do whatever it takes to ensure his children are progressing towards holiness. Pastor Lutzer examines 1 Peter 1:15-16, uncovering how we can imitate our heavenly Father. How does God intend to lead us to holiness?
In a culture consumed with finding our authentic self, what if we can't face the true depths of our sin? Face-to-face with God, we are undone. Pastor Lutzer shows two reasons God's holiness shows us our sin. In God’s presence, the real us is unmasked.
Is it a contradiction for a completely holy God to want to be with us? Pastor Lutzer contemplates two immense but practical attributes of God. No matter where God is, all of His attributes are.
Pastor Lutzer points out two groups in whom God’s holiness is displayed: the wicked and the righteous. God has made a way to approach Him in His moral perfection.
“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?"
- Exodus 15:11
Hi, this is Pastor Lutzer, wishing you a very blessed New Year!
When I was a little boy, I learned a little ditty that I think goes something like this: "The future lies before us, like a path of driven snow; be careful how you tread it, for every step will show." This is a wonderful opportunity for us to think in terms of the direction that we're going to go, the steps that we will leave behind.
Now if you've made New Year's resolutions, I can tell you (with probably a high degree of certainty) that you have broken …

I have a friend who is a Christian, but he doesn't celebrate Christmas. No Christmas trees, no gifts, no Christmas carols! He is so sick and tired of the way in which Christmas has been commercialized that as far as he's concerned, he wants nothing to do with it!
There's a part of me that sympathizes with him. You know, I've been to Europe, for example; and there you can go to the "Christ-Mart," the Christmas market. And of course, it's wonderful to walk around and sip some apple cider and see all of the things that are available. But if you were to stop and ask people what Christmas is about, …

On Saturday evening, November 10, 2018, Pastor Lutzer was awarded an Emmy!
There is a story here.
Last year, the National Religious Broadcaster’s media network, NRBTV, partnered with Four:2 Media and Moody Church Media to produce a documentary celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. The partners agreed that Pastor Lutzer’s book, Rescuing the Gospel: The Story and Significance of the Protestant Reformation, would be highlighted and that he would host and act as an Executive Producer on the program.
The documentary, A Call …
Times have changed!
Today I stood at two historic places in American religious history. The first was in Northampton, Massachusetts, at the church of the 18th century evangelist Jonathan Edwards, who is known for his message, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”
And the second was at the grave of the 19th century evangelist D.L. Moody, buried in Northfield, Massachusetts. Although these evangelists were very different, they both preached to large crowds the same Gospel of salvation from sin. Whole cities were affected through their faithful preaching.
Today, Edward’s church is an “affirming” church which long ago changed …
Her name is Kourtney. I will tell her story in a moment.
First, however, I’d like to explain some theological matters about God’s relationship to those who are born with a disability or with limited giftedness and a perceived lack of physical beauty. What is God’s involvement, if any, in the way each of us was formed, our appearance, or who we would strive to become?
Many theologians seek to absolve God of all responsibility for the “mistakes of nature” by posing the argument that because of sin, nature is fallen. Therefore, God has a “hands off policy” about many …
