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.

Many try to gain heaven through their own efforts. They think that if their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, they’ll make it through the gates. Others hope that the sacraments will ensure their eternal future. So, what’s the truth?

Picture a solo marathon runner taking a wrong turn. Run as he might, his efforts will never win him the race. Sincerity is great, but it’s not enough, especially when it comes to our spiritual life.

Asthe New Year comes, what lies ahead in the plan of God? God’s will is a series of small events that ultimately takes us where He wants us to go. Let us receive light from the Scriptures to make our paths clear.

A new year dawns with no written history; it is a blank slate. We don’t know what’s coming, and that’s why it makes a lot of sense to allow God to order our steps in the uncertain weeks and months ahead.

In Gethsemane, Jesus roused His sleeping disciples, asking, “Could you not pray with Me one hour?” Let us ask that same question to one another today! As a new year dawns, let’s covenant to set aside one hour a week for Jesus.

If you visit Gethsemane, you can see the ancient olive trees. It is a place for tears. There in the garden, Jesus asked the disciples to pray with Him. They fell asleep, causing the Savior to ask, “Could you not watch with Me one hour?”
