Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Serpent Strikes Back, Part 1 of 2 (The Serpent of Paradise)

The seduction of Adam and Eve in the Garden began an avalanche of sin and misery. As we assess the far-reaching consequences of mankind’s fall, we also learn that God, from the beginning, had in mind a way to repair the damage.

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.

In 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, let’s bring to mind what that sacrifice means.

Seeing ourselves as clay helps us to avoid believing the myth that we are in control. As the Potter, God is in charge, and He has a purpose we cannot see. His purpose will take us through the fire so that, one day, we’ll come out as gold.

Many believers have never seen themselves as clay on a potter’s wheel, being molded to suit the Potter’s purposes. But the sooner we understand this truth, the sooner we’ll be fruitful members of the body of Christ.
