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 baby Jesus will be a baby no longer when a thousand-year reign of peace dispels the darkness of war and suffering. Let’s allow Isaiah the prophet to lift our spirits by reminding us of the future reign of Christ the King on this earth.

In ancient times, kings had almost absolute power. A person’s life or death rested in the hands of the king. Though we live in a different kind of world now, we look forward to a time of a true King ruling the whole earth.

Typically, kings have a total claim on people’s lives, time, and taxes. In the modern U.S. we are not familiar with this type of government. Many see kings as relics of a bygone era. But today we will see why Christ is the long foretold King of Kings, and what that title means.

Christmas morning is only a few weeks away. Why not pause with us today as we consider the position God the Father has given Jesus His Son, the one for whom the holiday is named?
