Inspirational Quotes by Erwin Lutzer
“I see a church that desperately needs to learn the lessons that the people of God have to RELEARN in each generation: We have to be a church that is, in some ways, repulsive to the world because of our authentic holiness and yet very attractive to the world because of our love & care. We need to be a courageous church at the time of weak knees and carnal living. In short, we have to live lives that are a credit to the gospel we preach and the Savior we worship. God has humbled us, and we must enter into our cultural decline not with a swagger but with humility and brokenness. And transparency”
“Many within the younger generation simply do not feel at home in our churches. They long to have honest sharing within a community of authentic believers who are realistic about their walk with God. They see many of our churches as being too formal, too rigid, and prepackaged.”
“Let those of us in our churches not sit in judgment of the world, however, for all too often, we are the world, sharing in our culture’s since and failures. Remember, it was because of Jonah and not the pagan sailors that the storm blew on the sea! Too often we are blind to our own darkness. We criticize the world for calling darkness, but perhaps we do the same.”
“The surviving church is one that has a holistic view of the scriptures and doesn’t simply cherry-pick themes and teachings that are more to individual likings and aptitude’s. It is a church that preaches to felt needs, to be sure, but emphasizes that when we stand in the presence of a holy God, our greatest felt need will be for the righteousness of Christ. It is a church that teaches us how to live on earth but with the greater purpose of preparing for the life to come. It is a church that is not afraid of talking about hell.”
“It is not possible to have a heart for God without having a heart for people and their deep abiding needs.”
“But by no means should we think that terroism is radical Islam’s most useful weapon. Indeed, many of these Islamic leaders decry terrorism in an effort to take the focus off of a more effective and insidious strategy, namely to subdue the West by civilizational jihad.”
“To overdo the sorrow aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to make heaven into hell. To underdo the sorrow aspect is to make faithfulness inconsequential.”
“To possess eternal life you simply need faith in Christ; to truly inherit it, you need faith and obedience.4 If we keep in mind that to “inherit eternal life,” or to “inherit” the kingdom, is an extra reward for faithful service, we will read many passages of Scripture differently.”
“Our first word to the homosexual community is that we ourselves need to repent.”
“The educational system became more focused on setting affective, not cognitive goals (outcomes): “The more enthusiastic they get, the easier are the exams and the sooner they will get a position, a job … The new generation has never had much use for education and reading. Now nothing is demanded of them; on the contrary, knowledge is publicly condemned,”10”
“God does not save us by circumventing our will. He works through our will, giving us the ability to choose to believe in Christ and also to do what is right.”
“The victory over sin that you seek will come from your relationship with God.”
“Me han contado que en el estado de Indiana hay un cementerio, en el cual existe una antigua tumba con el siguiente epitafio: Detente un momento, extraño que pasas por aquí. Tal como tú estás ahora, así también yo estuve. Tal como yo estoy ahora, así también estarás. Prepárate entonces para la muerte y sígueme. Un desconocido que pasaba por allí, leyó aquellas palabras y escribió debajo esta respuesta: Con”
“Be controlled by the Spirit, rather than drugs or alcohol or any other stubborn habit. The Spirit’s control will replace sin’s control.”
“Las mejores inversiones son aquellas que son seguras y permanentes; si somos sabios, invertiremos nuestro tiempo preparándonos para aquello que es infinito. ¿Qué es la vida, sino una preparación para la eternidad?”
“Grace, freely given, does not provide us license to sin. Rather, it should motivate us to give ourselves without reservation to the One who loves us so freely, so deeply. Whenever you sin, God wants you to come back into fellowship immediately. Learn your lessons, but within His forgiveness, not outside of it.”
“No matter how many pleasures Satan offers you, his ultimate intention is to ruin you. Your destruction is his highest priority.”
“His will is not merely that you be free from sin; He wants to conform you to the image of His Son.”
“God wants us to develop a passion for Him that is greater than our passion to sin!”
