Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Looking Back to Planet Earth, Part 2 of 2 (What is God Up To?)

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.

Jesus didn’t die accidentally. Every detail of His sacrifice was predetermined before time began. Believers in Christ look to His cross with deep humility and say with Thomas, “My Lord, and My God.”
