When crisis strikes, from personal suffering to devastating earthquakes, some fall back on the notions that God may not be all-powerful or that the devil freely did it. Pastor Lutzer offers true comfort found in this truth: God is in charge. Do you believe that no disaster can befall us without God’s express permission? Originally Published: Jan 18, 2021

What does it look like for Christians to be involved in government despite increasing corruption? In this episode, Pastor Lutzer draws from the book of Acts to consider the point at which we lay aside our expectation of deliverance from corrupt leaders and choose rather to pray for boldness “to preach the word of God without fear.”

Today’s Reading: Acts 3:11-26Today’s Reference: Matthew 5:44 “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Was this prayer answered? We must realize that this was not a blanket prayer for everyone involved in Christ’s crucifixion; not everyone who participated in this crime was forgiven. But Jesus foreknew that many of those who put Him to death would indeed later repent, and He prayed God would let His blood cover their sin. God forgives those who ask. Yes, the prayer was answered for …

If So, What Are You Praying For?
I often meet believers who say, “We’re praying for revival!” But I wonder, “What exactly are they praying for?” Are they praying that God will clean up America’s deficient morality so we will no longer have to face the headwinds of a hostile culture? I think many of us think it would be wonderful if we could settle back to our former American way of life, which by and large, accepted our Christian values.
Such people—bless them—might not know that revival doesn’t make life easier; the obedience it demands is often painful, gut-wrenching, …

Death is not the way it was supposed to be. Yet at death’s door, the first Christian martyr, Stephen, gave us a glimpse into the heavenly realm. Pastor Lutzer contemplates seeing God’s unfathomable glory, both in this life and the next. Could it be that death, and even the sorrow it brings, helps us see what life’s all about?

Today’s Reading: Acts 3:11-4:4Today’s Reference: Hebrews 4:7b “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
The story of the crucifixion really only affects people in one of two ways.
For some, and I pray you’re one of them, the story softens the heart. It makes us aware of the severity of our sin and the boundless love of God. It draws us to salvation for the first time, or makes us reaffirm our commitment to Christ in fear and trembling.
But for others—far too many others—the story hardens the heart. Every time they hear it, …
