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.

Long-term gain can be short-circuited when investors go for short-term, fast profits. The same is true in life. Going for immediate pleasures can ruin the potential to enjoy the overwhelming pleasures of God—pleasures that last a lifetime.

When we sin, our consciences become defiled. We move from the light to the shadows, hoping to hide from the consequences of what we’ve done. And sadly, when our deeds are exposed, our first response is to blame someone else.

Ever since the beginning of man’s existence, Satan has lied to us. In the Garden of Eden, he lied to persuade Eve to take fruit from the forbidden tree. And Satan’s lies continue even today.

Deep in every human heart is a conscience—that sense of right and wrong that we cannot avoid. A clear conscience gives us freedom. When our sin is troubling us, we’re in bondage. In this message we begin a series that will help us clean up our lives, and our consciences.

While many people prefer to mind their own business, Esther got involved at a crucial point in the history of the Jewish people. She spoke at great personal risk. We must do the same to face the daunting challenges that lie ahead.

To save her people from extinction, Esther faced the risk of execution to beg the king of Persia to rescind a royal edict. She didn’t try to avoid the situation. She knew that at that key moment, the responsibility was hers.
