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.

“Blessed is the man….whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Meditation is the means by which the Bible can actually reprogram our minds.

How can we take home more from church than we ever thought possible?  Many times, sermons seem to sail right by us, but let’s discover together how to be changed by God’s Word.

The Bible is not like an encyclopedia. You read it not so much to learn, but to find your life changed. James tells us to “receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”

“The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.” Even when we have days which dispel our joy, we can focus on the Word of God, clinging to a joy the world cannot take away.

“The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” These words from Psalm 19 shed light on the educating power of the Scriptures. Wisdom floods our souls as we sit under its instruction, and we all can be “Changed by the Word.”
