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.

If you want to walk in the true light, you have to agree with God on everything. You have to come clean not just with God, but with others as well.

We like to think of ourselves as basically good people who make mistakes, not as sinners desperately needing the grace of God. But if you don’t see yourself as a sinner, you don’t see a need for redemption.

Throughout the Bible we see the contrast of darkness and light—darkness is sin, and light is God. Those who walk in darkness rationalize their sin, learn to manage their guilt, and even believe that they’re walking in the light. They not only lie to others, they are deceiving themselves and even lying to God.

Pastor Lutzer shows us that we have our own kingdoms—career, money, even our giftedness —and how we can easily fall into the same snare as Saul did. By comparing David’s reaction to Saul’s attacks, we also learn what we can do to keep from sinning.

Trying to hold on to his kingdom by destroying those around him, King Saul gives us a good example of how an obsession with control can become evil.

Control lies at the heart of sin. We’re all born controllers. But when does wanting to control something become, not just a sin, but evil?

Jesus can deliver you from any addiction. God wants to deliver us from sin. He sent His Son to die so that we could experience freedom from sin. The transformation occurs when our love for Christ is greater than our love of sin. When we humbly submit to the will of God, He will begin to change our desires until eventually seeking and loving God is more important than seeking our next “fix.”

Addictions will always trip us up in the race of life. Once caught in the trap, many people find themselves unable to break free. In today’s message you’ll hear how to take the first steps toward freedom and the real life God wants you to experience.

An addiction is the blinding self-absorption of sin. It doesn’t matter what the sin is, and you just can’t tuck it away somewhere. It needs to be dealt with because a sin can progress into an addiction. It will become your master, and you’ll be its slave. Listen today as Pastor Lutzer explains how freedom is attainable.

In God we can find the fatherhood that all of us need whether we’ve come from a good home or a bad home. When we trust Christ as our Savior, God adopts us. We are His sons and daughters and we can say, “I am loved by God as much as He loves His Son, Jesus.”
