Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

We Are Called to Holiness, Part 2 of 2 (Living as God's Community)

February 3, 2014

When God said “Be ye holy for I am holy,” He was giving us a command that our character grow to match His. As members of the body of Christ, we are called to live in sync with God’s will and purpose, and that includes a separation from sin.

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.
