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.

These days, success often requires a good education. To D.L. Moody, the mark of success was the hand of God on his life. Though he could neither spell nor speak eloquently, God chose to use him in mighty ways, just as He can use you and me in our day.

What kind of a man does God use? Is He limited to the well-educated? Those with the right connections? Or could it be that His most choice servants are those whose lives are wholly dedicated to Him?

At any given moment, we may not know what God is up to. When a prayer is not answered as we would like, God may always has a higher purpose in mind. Yet one thing we do know – just as God was with Joshua, so He is with us today. His faithfulness never changes.

We can be sure that our faith will always lead to ultimate victory, even if we never see the rewards of that faith while still in this life. That was true for many of the heroes of faith in the Bible. One such hero was Abraham.
