Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Before there was a Bible, before the Old Testament was written, God called a man out of Ur and promised to make him into a great nation. Seeing that promise fulfilled required great faith. Abraham faced a lifelong journey of trust in God.

Believers of all ages will one day inhabit the New Jerusalem. The Bible says it’s both gigantic and glorious. The book of Revelation gives us the details, and if you are a follower of Jesus, it is your future home.

“No eye has seen the things God has prepared for those who love Him.” The Bible tantalizes us with glimpses of what is yet to come. It’s a mystery, but it’s a glorious mystery. Let’s pull back the curtain for a peek at the age to come.

Many can’t accept the idea of God judging unbelievers eternally in hell, especially people who’ve never heard the gospel. This doesn’t seem fair! Why does the justice of God require such severe punishment? Is spreading the gospel that crucial?

Medieval art portrays the afterlife with saints in glory above and sinners in torment below. Hell is portrayed as a place of fire, which the lost will inhabit for eternity. In our “enlightened” age, however, hell is no longer taken seriously.
