September 4, 2018

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.

God wants us to see our money as a trust fund to manage, not a possession to squander. After all, it’s His money. We are merely stewards of it. We need to be like the Macedonian believers who were eager to give. 
September 3, 2018
Christians often get tripped up by issues of finance. Whose money is it really? Mine, or someone else’s? Jesus had much to say about money, and if we’re serious about crowning Him as our Lord, we need to listen to what He has to say.

For every Olympic track star, there are ten thousand runners who never make the team. But that’s no reason to give up. Many believers with few talents approach life with a clenched fist rather than an open hand, but God prefers the latter.

We’ve all been given gifts and abilities. It’s not how many we have, it’s how we use them that’s important. Rather than complaining about what we don’t have, we need to focus on how to best use the gifts we do have.

In a race, the time determines the victor. For Christians, how we use our time determines our effectiveness for God. At the end of our lives, we’ll be judged on how we used our minutes, days, and years. 
August 28, 2018
The clock never stops. Once gone, time can’t be reclaimed. The Bible teaches believers to “redeem the time, for the days are evil.” God has given us only one life, and we are called to use the time wisely.

The hope of Christ’s return has motivated Christians for two thousand years. And that day is nearer now than ever. When Jesus ascended into heaven, only a few were witnesses to the event. But every eye will see Him return to vanquish His enemies. 
August 24, 2018
There’s a day coming for believers when the race of life will end. But that day is the Christian’s bright hope—the day Jesus returns. It will be a day like no other. And because the Scripture cannot be broken, that promised day is an absolute certainty. 
August 23, 2018
Christ ascended to bring many sons and daughters to glory. His ascension was step one in creating the Church—the body of Christ. Only a few saw Jesus rise into the sky, but the entire population of Earth will see Him return. 
August 22, 2018
Christians know that Jesus is sitting at God’s right hand. His ascension into heaven opened heaven’s gates for us. So why is the ascension important? It was the key to founding the church.
