July 17, 2019

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.

Some have redefined marriage as any so-called loving relationship, no matter what sex the partners are. Others pollute marriages with adultery and pornography. People want to gratify their desires in every way but God’s way. When we abandon God’s morality, people’s lives are in turmoil.

It’s tough to be sure of anything in this world. But Christians can know where they’re going after death. Why? Because our assurance of salvation is built on three pillars in Scripture.
