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.

Much of the anguish in today’s families can be traced to fractured relationships between fathers and their children. Can we open those clenched fists and hearts, restoring dialogue and love to broken ties with our fathers?

There is one man whose imprint on our lives can never be erased. Even from the grave we feel the impact of our fathers. In the Bible, fathers are responsible for the spiritual well-being of their wives and children.

The ideal mom draws strength from the Lord, living a life of faithfulness to her calling as a wife and mother. This kind of woman was exemplified in the book of Proverbs. If our culture had more mothers like her, our families would be in much better shape.

Some think ideal women have perfect hair, perfect complexion, and probably a very imperfect husband. Let’s forget the fashion magazines, and focus on the Bible’s description of a perfect and godly woman.

Motherhood is key to a nation’s survival, as mothers bear and train the next generation. The Bible exalts mothers, giving them principles by which they can fulfill their role. Motherhood is a vital component in rebuilding fractured families.

When the family breaks down, culture itself breaks down. Single-parent homes face enormous obstacles. But there is a resource that can prevent marriages from shattering, and it comes to us from the finished work of Christ.  
February 25, 2016
Many marriages begin happily, but quickly descend into conflict. We display the latent rebellion that’s marked all of us since Adam and Eve. God has a solution to humanity’s deepest problems; He can heal broken relationships.

Today’s endangered species is the family. Fractured, broken, stressed, dysfunctional. All of these words describe a crisis in the most basic unit of society. If the church does not act to save the family, who will? The Scriptures have the answers for what ails our homes.

At the end of all things is a man on a white horse. Jesus is that man. When the last chapter about planet Earth is played out, it will be about Him. The end of the Drama of Redemption and the beginning of eternity will glorify Christ.  
February 22, 2016
The drama of redemption began in Eden and ends with a new heaven and a new earth. The enemies of Christ are vanquished, the rebellious are judged, and the redeemed find themselves on streets of gold in the New Jerusalem.
