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.

For many, silence is uncomfortable. We want sensory input to fill every waking moment. But the Bible tells us to set it all aside, pursuing God in silence and waiting upon Him. It’s a crucial practice of submission in the life of a believer.

There are times when we must shut out the noises we grow so accustomed to. Turn off the TV, and put down your smartphone. Draw near to God in the silence, and you’ll find that what remains is the still, small voice of God.

The worship of God has one firm prerequisite: we need to come with clean hearts. Then we can have genuine fellowship with God. Thankfully, the Bible tells us how to prepare our hearts for real worship.

Real worship is not about how it makes us feel. Genuine worship is ascribing worth to God - whether we feel like it or not. We need some straight talk about what worship really is, and why it takes discipline to worship God properly.

There’s a startling disconnect between the things the Apostle Paul prayed for, and the things most of us pray for. We focus on our physical needs, while God wants to work on our motivations. Let’s learn to pray for the things God wants by praying His word back to Him.

“They that wait upon the Lord shall run, and not be weary…” We gain strength for life’s race by waiting on God through prayer, but only if we make prayer a priority. What does it look like to have a consistent, meaningful prayer life?

We can’t run life’s race if our minds are not disciplined. Through a host of competing voices, we need to hear the voice of God, and meditation in the Scriptures is key. Are you hearing God’s voice on a daily basis?

A believer’s effectiveness is determined by the disciplines of the Christian life, practiced every day, every week. Have you recently evaluated your spiritual life? Here are disciplines which are crucial to your spiritual maturity.

Faith in Christ is the non-negotiable factor that transforms us from darkness to light, granting us heaven as our future home. Nothing is more important for us to understand, and today each and every one of us needs to trust in Christ.  
January 18, 2016
Believers in Christ look forward to a home in heaven. This outlook gives a sense of promise and hope. And this hope is something we can share with all who ask us why we have that hope. Do you have that hope?
