A Clean Heart, Part 1 of 2 (When Jesus Has Your Heart)

July 31, 2019

All of us pick up a lot of dust in the race of life: dust that clogs the pores of our souls. We need to come to Christ for cleansing every day. From the Upper Room, let’s begin to learn what that process is all about, and why it’s not optional for those who trust in Christ.

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.
