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.

We need help to run the race of life, and carry out the ministry God has for us. Our task requires spiritual power, and that power comes from the Holy Spirit who was promised to all who believe in Jesus. As a Christian, you need never feel alone.

Running the race of life takes strength. And the strength we need is more than natural energy. Jesus knew we would need supernatural strength, and He promised to send the person of the Holy Spirit to provide spiritual energy for every child of God even today.

In the Upper Room Discourse, Jesus seems to say that whatever we request, we can have. What are the conditions on answered prayer? Is it all tied to how fully we believe? Today: what Jesus meant when He said, “Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do.”

In His famous Upper Room Discourse, Jesus said that those who would believe in Him would do greater works than He did. At first glance, that appears impossible. What works could be greater than His? What does this astounding statement mean?

Believers in Christ can be sure that heaven is a real place because of the biblical testimony concerning it. That reality is a great antidote for the crushing weight of anxiety we sometimes feel. Are you weighed down by fear? Remember the words of Jesus: a place is being prepared.

Anxiety can slow us all down in the race of life. But anxiety is something Jesus said we can leave by the side of the road. Are you fearful about the future? If you’re beset by anxiety, join us for some words of great hope.

It’s good to pause the race of life long enough to examine one’s heart, and find out what really motivates us. Judas shows us how far away we can fall from Christ, even though, to all observers, we seem to be children of God.

Pause to ponder the mystery of a man whose heart was so black that he could look Jesus in the eye and still betray Him to His enemies. Is it possible that you or I could be so near, and yet be so far, just like Judas?

No Christian can get through a single day without the need to confess sins. That’s why Jesus washed the disciples’ dusty feet: to prove we need daily cleansing. Let’s cover some practical issues on keeping short accounts with God.

All of us pick up a lot of dust in the race of life: dust that clogs the pores of our souls. We need to come to Christ for cleansing every day. From the Upper Room, let’s begin to learn what that process is all about, and why, for a believer, it’s not optional.
