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.

Behind every turn in Joseph’s life we see God’s hand. And God has a plan for you and for me; a dream He wants to see brought to pass. If your life seems haphazard, be encouraged that God is in control.

It was a long road from a pit in Canaan to a palace in Egypt. For Joseph, God’s dream had been fulfilled. The fate of men and nations depended on one man holding on to a dream God had given him, a component of the providence of God.
April 3, 2014
The story of Joseph in Egypt is very dramatic, a former slave judging the brothers who sold him into slavery years before. In the mind of God, an ingenious plan was unfolding to save two nations. A dream was indeed coming to pass. 
April 2, 2014
Joseph’s dream was almost destroyed by frightful circumstances. But God saw to it that the dream’s fulfillment had international consequences. There was a far bigger purpose at work than Joseph even realized. And the same may be true for you.  
April 1, 2014
One minute, Joseph is in jail. The next, he is vice-regent of Egypt. But he kept it all in perspective:  he knew that God was working out a plan, a plan placed into his heart in a dream. So, how is your dream coming?
March 31, 2014
Few of us have ever faced the trials Joseph faced. Between this man and his dream lay injustice, treachery, slavery and prison. Indeed, his dream was sorely tested. How long could you hang on to your dream under circumstances like these?
March 28, 2014
Is the dream you have for your life farther away than ever? Take heart. Although Joseph had a dream of ruling his brothers, he ended up in slavery. A lesser man might have given up. But for Joseph, the dream never died.  
March 27, 2014
Do you have a dream? Maybe it seems unreachable. We are going to meet a man from the pages of the Old Testament whose dream had to die before it could come to pass.  
March 26, 2014
For all the crimes Satan has perpetrated, a simple death sentence is just not enough. God’s plan for the devil involves unlimited torment in a lake of fire that will never go out.
March 25, 2014
The ravages of Satan clutter the annals of time. But the devil’s doom is certain. He is on death row, howling until his end in the lake of fire. In this message we will take an encouraging look at the final end of Satan, the prince of liars. At long last, he will get his due.
