Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Down, But Not Out #2 of 2 (Restoring the Soul)

March 22, 2013

David was out of hope and had nowhere else to turn. He went before God and confessed his sin through guilt-ridden tears. God not only forgave him, but used a child, born of Bathsheba, and put them in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

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.
