The Eclipse of God – Part 1

Many would not refute that our country has become unrecognizable and that our culture is unraveling before our eyes. Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author and pastor emeritus of The Moody Church, about his latest book, The Eclipse of God: Our Nation’s Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity (And What We Must Do About It). Dr. Lutzer explains, "we need a fresh vision of who God is and not the God we just wish He was.” Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Because you care about our nation and standing up for the truth of the Bible, you won’t want to miss this critical discussion!
