August 6, 2010
You can tell where a Christian’s values lie by examining his or her giving. One hallmark of a true believer is generosity. It’s a touchy subject, but we’re not afraid to hit the nail on the head as we focus on another of the spiritual disciplines that strengthen us in the race of life. Today we look at what God wants you to do with the resources He has provided.

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.

To many people, the Bible is something you put your hand on to be sworn into office. Beyond that, it’s just Jewish myths and moral teaching, but the sixty-six books that make up our Bible contain powerful, life-changing truth, thanks to the God who made sure we are reading what He intended. How the books of the bible became the word of God is the focus for today’s message.

Thanks to the space program, astronomers know a great deal about what is “out there.” But they can’t tell us how it all “got there.” The tough thing for astronomers is the question of Ultimate Cause….what was there before the Big Bang.
