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.

God is so vast and incomprehensible that unless He took direct action, we would never understand Him in a meaningful sense. He took that action two thousand years ago when Jesus Christ appeared on earth. The Bible reveals that Jesus is the Son of God, and that all the fullness of God dwells in Him. Now, to see what God is all about, all we need do is look at Jesus. Today, we will take that look, a look at “The Son We Follow.”

Some religions have millions of deities. The Christian faith is based on the self-revelation of a single, omnipotent, God. Jesus taught us to call him “Our Father.” In the Bible, God has many names, but only one character. He is absolute holiness combined with infinite power, love, and justice. Today, we will come to grips with “The Father We Worship”.

You are being chased by wolves toward a gorge. A fragile rope bridge spans the gulf. Do you trust the bridge or face the wolves? Dramatic, yes. But this is the bottom line when it comes to the Bible; at some point your doubts have to give way to faith, that the Bible is what it says it is — the Word of God — and the only book that can lead you across the gorge of death into eternity.

What are your core beliefs? And how deeply do you believe them? For Christians, the Bible is at the center of what we believe. Some question the Bible’s origins and its authority.

Do you ever wonder if your coming to faith in Christ was an accident, or a coincidence, or maybe just a good choice on your part? Not a chance! The Bible says that, “Salvation is of the Lord”.

These days, people look to their iPhones or their PDA’s to find out what is next on their overly busy schedules. Keeping appointments is crucial for business success. But God has heavenly plans for His people, and sometimes His list of things for us to do includes change our plans.

Most people invest heavily in their futures. Savings accounts and retirement plans give us comfort for those “golden years”. But wise believers know that the real future lies in the hands of God, not in any plans we can make. Like the martyr Stephen, our ultimate destiny lies beyond this life.
