For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10
D.L. MOODYTo me, this is one of the sweetest verses in the whole Bible. In this one short sentence we are told what Christ came into this world for. He came for a purpose, He came to do a work. He came not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
ERWIN LUTZERYes, we were lost prodigals, but Jesus came to save us. Thanks to Him, our Heavenly Father is waiting for us. He says, “I have made …

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12
D.L. MOODYThe one glimpse the Bible gives us of thirty out of the thirty-three years of Christ’s life on Earth shows that He did not come to destroy the Fifth Commandment. The secret of all those silent years is embodied in that verse in Luke’s Gospel—“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them” (Luke 2:51). Did He not set an example of true filial love and care …

What is God saying to us?
The scenes are—well, they are frequently described as apocalyptic. That word rings with a prophetic tone; it means “pertaining to the end times.” A more familiar word might be catastrophic. Cameras from helicopters and drones, people with their smart phones and news teams on the ground, reveal miles upon miles of burned homes and businesses, and people fleeing for their lives with just the clothes on their backs. More than 60 square miles of some of the most expensive homes in the Los Angeles area, burned to the ground. As of this …

If all God’s ways are just, what do we make of children who die prematurely? Many wonder how God will rightly judge babies and young children. Pastor Lutzer ponders essential Scriptures on children’s conception, personal accountability, and destiny. As we bring these honest questions to God, we can leave it in His hands.

All the ways we attempt to quench our thirst for happiness and satisfaction leave us thirsty in the end. At Calvary, the Creator of the oceans and rivers felt thirst. Pastor Lutzer points to Jesus’ humanity and submission to the will of the Father as the weight of sin rested on Him. How long will we thirst before we are truly satisfied?

“Hell disappeared and no one noticed.”
With that terse observation the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared and we didn’t even notice.
But in November of 2025, the doctrine of hell received renewed attention when Kirk Cameron said (Part …

But Abraham said, “Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.” Luke 16:25
D.L. MOODYI believe that when God touches the secret spring of memory, every one of our sins will come back if they have not been blotted out by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will haunt us as eternal ages roll on.
ERWIN LUTZERMoody’s comments are chilling. Imagine existing forever in hell with the memory of your sin upon your conscience. …

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
D.L. MOODYThe natural human heart is like that inn at Bethlehem—no room for Christ! Every true saint of God for four thousand years had been gazing out into the future, looking and listening that they might hear the footfall of the Coming One. Bible students think that when Eve brought forth her firstborn and said: “I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Genesis 4:1), she thought …

The Bible’s teaching about hell is difficult to accept—in fact, it’s terrifying. In the final judgment, God is going to hold each one of us responsible. Pastor Lutzer considers why there’s an eternal hell for eternal beings and where we can flee for rescue. Imagine being judged for our sins, of all kinds, before the glorious throne of an infinite God. Originally Published: July 22, 2019

Is God fair? In a time when many imagine a more tolerant deity, many wonder how God can rightly judge those who've never heard of Christ. Pastor Lutzer discusses God’s love for justice, found in His revelation throughout creation and within our consciences. God’s justice effects our daily lives and our ultimate destinies.
