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 laws are built into the fabric of creation. One is the law of sowing and reaping, well known to all who plant crops. Sow sparingly, and that is all you will reap. Sow generously, and you will get a larger yield. This principle also applies in giving to God’s work. Today we hear a few lessons on finances from the Apostle Paul to the church in ancient Corinth.

Interest rates are time-dependent. The longer your money earns interest, the more it compounds. The widow who put two mites in the temple treasury could not imagine the ultimate sum her gift would draw in the bank of heaven.
