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, …

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 …
I am grieved at the way in which social media is being used (or rather misused) in today’s overheated and angry culture. Christians are falling into the snare of sniping at each other in ungodly ways, all “for the sake of truth.” I am reminded of Paul’s words in Galatians, “….through love serve one another … But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.” (Galatians 5:13b, 15). Yes, we now have a platform where we can, if we wish, bite and devour others.
A friend of mine, a professor at …
Recently, we returned from our tour to Israel with both exhilaration and sadness. Exhilaration, because God granted us the marvelous experience of reliving biblical events and walking quite literally “where Jesus walked.” What can compare to crossing Galilee on a boat and contemplating the ministry of Jesus, or visiting where He prayed at Gethsemane? But we also left with sadness because there are so many people in that storied land who do not know the Savior and simply do not understand “the day of their visitation.”

Billy Graham died this morning, February 21, 2018, and I must add my voice to the many tributes that are pouring in from all over the world. It is difficult to convey in words what this man has meant in my life.
It all began in a farmhouse in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada when I was 12 years old.
“Who is Billy Graham?” I asked my sister Esther when she came into my bedroom to tell me that we were going to go to see a film that starred Billy Graham.
“He’s an evangelist in the United States and when he …
