Running To Win

Getting Rewards Right, Part 2 of 2 (You Can't Redo Life)

November 10, 2015

We don’t always know why, but God chooses to give some of His children more than others… more abilities, more money, and better health. When we realize that it’s the Giver who makes the call, and not the receiver, we’ve come a long way in understanding how God rewards his people.

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.
