Faith At The Breaking Point | Famines, Deserts And Other Hard Places #6 | Pastor Lutzer

What would it take for you to deny your faith in Christ? As we look into the book of Revelation, we see that the Antichrist is given amazing authority. There will be one world religion and one world economy. And yet there will be people who refuse to submit and refuse to deny Christ-and many will be martyred because of it.
So how did these saints overcome the Antichrist? They called on the blood of the Lamb. Despite all of the persecution, they trusted in Jesus Christ.

Paster when you pray remember me that Jesus our lord to help me to be strong in faith not to fear death because of preaching his name and his cross and blood.

[@lambharoy9186]

It's indeed good to hear the end of the story. The Final Victory belongs to our Jesus and to us along with Him.

There is no "reforming" Islam, and Muslims do not "stand with" Christians. There is only one way, Christ, and Christianity is an exclusive religion. "I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me."

[@MoodyChurchMedia]

Thanks for your comment. Pastor Lutzer would agree Christianity is an exclusive religion. It seems you're referring to what Pastor Lutzer said in this message, "There is a small group of Muslims who hope to reform Islam, and actually say that Sharia Law should not be a part of their religion. Unfortunately, as you well know, many of these who live here in America are living in hiding oftentimes because of multiple death threats. But we must stand with those who stand with us for religious freedom." Pastor Lutzer does not believe in standing with Muslims in the sense of compromising the Gospel. He warns against Islamism in his book, The Cross In The Shadow Of The Crescent. In the book, he says, "The real threat to the United States is not so much terrorism, but Islamism, which intends to challenge our constitutional liberties and take advantage of political correctness to silence discussion and debate about Islam." Pastor Lutzer is warning against terrorism as well as the Jihad of the pen. Learn more about his book and read an excerpt here: www.moodymedia.org/store/books/cross-shadow-crescent/ In this specific sermon, Faith At The Breaking Point, he's also distinguishing between Muslims who would manipulate our laws towards Sharia law versus those who hold to religious freedom. In this message, he is saying we should stand for religious liberty and with those who uphold it. We stand for religious liberty so we can have an open door for the Great Commission, because we believe in the power of the Gospel. We have no reason to fear when we share God's Word with our Muslim neighbors or discuss and debate with them. Yet even if we are persecuted like many Christians in other countries, we will not compromise the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Peter denied him three Times in Jesus very hour of .need

[@ohitsustu1835]

Belief and trust is at breaking point, not faith. God is refining His church, testing. Those not born again do not have faith and can't synthesise it. Faith is given by God at rebirth. You are either His endued with faith and sealed by Holy Spirit, or not. Don't be confused by the author of it, faith is not directly the problem rather it is the fleshy mind and walking in that that wobbles, wavers. Faith is strengthened, nourished and grows by exposure to the unmolested Bible of Truth. So walk in the Spirit, the flesh is condemned and done for.

[@RoanPretorius-de7xv]

Is it fair to judge a starving person / a parent of a vulnerable child who worships or takes the mark yet David who kills his mistresses honourable husband; Solomon who worshipped idols? David was not persecuted (besides Saul) he suffered no threat yet he lusted, “adulterated”lied and murdered - and he was accepted due to his repentance and Gods forgiveness- Solomon knew not one days trial or tribulation let alone persecution- yet he in his pride married 100’s of idolatrous pagan women against gods directive Became an idolator himself and followed their practices? Yet we assume he was saved?? And now a person who takes that cursed mark to eat to live is cursed with no hope?

[@minilevi8465]

Can “the earth “ refers to Israel instead of the whole earth? Refer to the verse “ all the world would be taxed by Caesar Augustus “ This “world “ was not the whole earth !

[@shalom4mshalem935]

As you presented a picture of christian persecution of those days then obviously christian fathers will kill their own children, own family rather than to be abused sexually and die with hunger. That is why pre tribe or mid tribe rapture is correct teaching.

[@RoanPretorius-de7xv]

What a horrible analogy about the horse
