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.

You’d never find a more unlikely convert to the Christian faith. Saul was intent on capturing and killing as many believers as possible. That all changed one day when Saul the Pharisee found himself blinded by the light.

In Israel, you can stand on the very mount from which Jesus Christ ascended to His Father in heaven. Prophecies foretell his return to that very Mount of Olives to set up His kingdom on Earth. But is He ruling in heaven right now?

For 40 days the resurrected Jesus walked the roads of Israel. But then the time came for a journey to heaven. But what is He doing now? Jesus is still advocating for His people.

The sight on the Mount of Olives was unforgettable. Jesus rose into the sky! His ascension marked the beginning of a new ministry, for He is interceding for His people at the Father’s right hand.
