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.

Before there was a Bible, before the Old Testament was written, God called a man out of Ur and promised to make him into a great nation. Seeing that promise fulfilled required great faith. Abraham faced a lifelong journey of trust in God.

For many, silence is uncomfortable. We want sensory input to fill every waking moment. But the Bible tells us there are times to set it all aside, pursuing God in silence and waiting upon Him. It’s a crucial practice of submission in the life of a believer.

There are times when we must shut out the noises we’ve grown so accustomed to. Turn off the TV, and put down your smartphone. Draw near to God in the silence, and you’ll find that what remains is the still, small voice of God.

The worship of God has one firm prerequisite: We need to come with clean hearts. Then we can have genuine fellowship with God. Thankfully, the Bible tells us how to prepare our hearts for real worship.

Real worship is not about how it makes us feel. Genuine worship is ascribing worth to God—whether we feel like it or not. We need some straight talk about what worship really is, and why it takes discipline to worship God properly.

There’s a startling disconnect between the things the Apostle Paul prayed for, and the things most of us pray for. We focus on our physical needs, while God wants to change our motivations. In this message, we learn to pray for the things God wants by praying His word back to Him.
