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.

At the Lord’s Supper, we take bread and wine and recall the broken body and shed blood of Jesus, given for us. In focusing on the price paid for our salvation, it brings to mind what that sacrifice means.

After Jonah preached, he got angry and depressed. God then sent a sequence of events to teach the wayward prophet some pointed object lessons. We will meet a plant, a worm and a scorching east wind.

Jonah finally obeyed God, but he took no joy in the revival following his preaching in Ninevah. His self-focus kept him from seeing the big picture. Instead, he sat down and asked God to end his life.
