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.

Some people dislike the time for offerings in a church service. They may give grudgingly, so as not to appear cheap in the eyes of others. Why do you contribute? The Bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. What kind of giver are you?

Planting a few seeds will result in a small harvest. Planting generously will result in a much greater harvest. The law of sowing and reaping not only applies to farming, but also to investing in God’s work.

How we handle money says a lot about who we are. The economy may be down, but God is still faithful. He will honor our choice to put resources where “moth and rust cannot corrupt.”

In Luke 16, Jesus teaches us the importance of investing for eternity. We need to use worldly wealth in a way that brings eternal dividends.

Some people hold on to their money until their knuckles turn white. True financial freedom only comes from knowing that we are merely managers of God’s wealth – and investing in His Kingdom brings a return beyond imagination.

Even in times of downturn, the principle of return on investment, or ROI, remains crucial. It is no less crucial when investing in the Kingdom of God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shares some lessons on investing the money we have – money that actually belongs to someone else.
