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.

Believers in Christ look forward to a certain home in heaven. And this outlook turns their inward look to an upward look, full of promise and hope. This hope is something we can share with all who ask.

When Babe Ruth pointed to center field, he knew where that ball was going. And Christians can know where they are going after death. That is because our assurance of salvation is built on three pillars in the scriptures.

In the race of the Christian life, it is possible to be certain that you will finish in heaven. And knowing your destiny makes all the trials of life more bearable.

A great joy awaits those who, through the new birth, begin their own race on the track of the Christian life. After the finish line of this life lies an eternal future. This new birth is a miracle only God can perform.

It takes a work of God to implant eternal life.  All the effort we could ever expend cannot bring us one inch closer to heaven. Jesus tells us we need the miracle of the new birth.

For those running the race of life, the goal line is heaven. If there is one thing you need in order to enter into heaven, it’s vital to know what it is. We all desperately need the gift of righteousness.

In the race of the Christian life, there is one gift from God that believers cannot live without.  We dare not die without it, either, since this gift opens the doors of heaven, making us acceptable in God’s sight.

Believers get their strength from God through His abundant grace—God’s unmerited favor towards His children through Christ.  That grace, which none of us deserves, is the focus of this message.
October 1, 2014
Once people understand what the Bible teaches about salvation, they know that grace is unmerited favor, and they thank God every day for the grace that made it possible for them to become citizens of heaven.
