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.

The great moral code God gave to Moses contains principles that govern our relationships with God and with each other. That code shows us who we are, and more importantly, who God is. Today, we begin a series on The Ten Commandments.

When Jesus was preparing to raise Lazarus from the grave, He wanted there to be no mistake that Lazarus was indeed dead. That is why He waited four days before displaying His glory and power in calling Lazarus from the tomb. Jesus specializes in giving new life to those dead in their sins and separated from God. Today we learn why you and I should believe.

Our greatest fear is death. Our greatest pain is losing a loved one to death. A friend’s death caused Jesus to weep.
