God's Providence in the Lutzers' 55-Year Marriage
Today is our 55th wedding anniversary. Rebecca and I look back, marveling at how little we knew about who we were, the challenges we would face, and the future God had mapped out for us. After our wedding in a small church in the Dallas area, we packed everything we had into my 1965 Buick and started the trek to Canada, where I would teach in a Bible school for one more year. Then, under the providence of God, I was accepted at Drew University in New Jersey. On the way, we stopped in Chicago for some summer classes, again … Read More >

A Preaching Tour in Albania–April 15-25, 2023
I’ve been impacted by a recent speaking tour in Albania. I have visited many different countries in the world, but this trip to Albania has affected me most deeply. My wife, Rebecca, and I returned with a burden for that country, but also for America. There are lessons learned, observations made, and scenes that will stay with me until I die. Some background. Albania was Stalinized beginning in 1944, and by 1967, it was the first country in the world to include in its constitution that there is no God. The surveillance of the people was so detailed and so … Read More >

Pastor Lutzer Speaks On “One Minute After You Die” At Regional Rally In Albania
This past Saturday on May 4, 2024, it was my privilege to speak to what was, most likely, the largest gathering of evangelicals in Southeast Albania. More than twenty churches came together, many by bus, to worship and celebrate their unity in Christ. Various musical groups led us in worship. Also, a short documentary was shown about the heroes who were faithful to Christ during the harsh crackdown of the communist era in Albania (1944–1992). Part of the crowd of 1,800 evangelicals that gathered in Korçë, Albania on May 4 to worship together and listen to God’s Word. In addition … Read More >

Are You Praying For Revival?
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, … Read More >

5 Minutes With Pastor Lutzer | When You've Been Wronged Part 4
Imagine getting a one-on-one counseling session with God. Who could give you better advice? Well, Cain allowed his anger, envy and jealousy to override the counsel given to him, personally, by God—and killed his brother Abel. He was so blind to his own sinful jealousy, all he could think about was avenging his wounded pride at any cost. Let's heed God's warning today that sin is crouching at the door.

Around the world today, nations are populated by the descendants of the scattered people of Babel.
