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.

Paul was determined to go to Rome, even knowing it could be a one-way trip. He would take the gospel to the highest levels of government, but en route, a shipwreck threatened to cut the journey short. Listen as Pastor Lutzer shares how this incredible story unfolds and how it should embolden our own faith.

Imprisoned for two years, Paul was finally on his way to Rome, knowing he faced almost certain death… but not before taking the Gospel to the heart of the world’s dominant empire. He pled his case before Rome’s king in Israel, seizing the moment to make sure the Gospel was preached.

The Jews wanted Paul dead. Paul appealed to Caesar, and ended up in a Caesarea prison. Years passed. Eventually a new governor appeals to Rome’s King in Palestine, Herod Agrippa. Listen today as we see how the Gospel reaches an even broader audience.

Felix was a Roman governor in Caesarea, Rome’s headquarters in what is now Israel. Facing Paul, Felix and his wife Drusilla found themselves confronted with the Gospel, which brought their own sins to light. The Gospel was working its power in the ancient world.

Paul the Apostle had appealed to Caesar in a conflict with Jewish authorities. This meant facing the Roman governor in ancient Caesarea. As waves lapped on the nearby shore, Governor Felix came face to face with a man the likes of whom he’d never seen.
