Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

December 11, 2014

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.

Those who think marriage is a magic door to happiness should note that half of all marriages fail today. God intended marriage to develop character, and a hard heart can break the bonds between a couple if one will not repent.

Some marriage partners see their mates like car models. They want to trade them in when a better one comes along. The Bible tells us how to make marriages last, and today, we will see why living a life of love, purity and honor is the only way this can happen.

When God says a nation is doomed, that doom is certain. Belshazzar’s feast began with revelry and ended with Belshazzar dead. Babylon died with him, as might America if we do not heed the warnings of God. 
December 2, 2014
The judgment of God may be long in coming, but it can come with a vengeance. For ancient Babylon, that time came when Daniel foretold the doom of Babylon’s king. We in America should take heed, as his story might well be ours.

During persecution, some believers are spared, while others go through torture and death. Some wonder why God does not deliver all of His people, since He surely could.  This is a question we all face as we try to understand God. 
November 28, 2014
Every day, government pressure mounts on the Christian faith. How should believers react? For guidance, we can look to a similar time of persecution long ago.
