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.

Jailers know that locks usually stay locked. But when Paul and Silas were sprung from prison, one jailer learned otherwise, causing him to ask, “What must I do to be saved?” In this message, more on prison doors flinging open.

Ancient Babylon’s leaders had no idea that their time was up. A festive party ended in the King’s death, and God’s judgment was served. Modern America also has no idea how many minutes are left on its ticking clock. In this message, we will see our handwriting on the wall.

When God says a nation is doomed, that doom is certain. Belshazzar’s feast began with revelry and ended with Belshazzar dead. Babylon died with him, as might America if we don’t heed the warnings of God.
