December 11, 2015
With joyful carols filling the air, the Christmas season is upon us. Economy experts paint the season as pivotal for retailers, and many get caught up in the materialistic desires of our culture at this time of year. It’s sad that so much darkness is amongst us, but that’s why we look to Jesus as our source of light.

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.

Christians are commanded to present their bodies as living sacrifices acceptable to God. But we often give in to the pressure to “get off the altar” and live as we please. How can we get back on the altar and stay there, as a holy sacrifice to God?

As members of the body of Christ we have a mission to fulfill, and a disciplined use of our resources is key to getting God’s work done. Let’s look at how to determine our priorities, and then, how to live by them.

In the body of Christ there is great diversity. Mature Christians enjoy the gifts of every member of the body, since each believer has a unique contribution to make to the growth of Christ’s kingdom.

God sees believers as part of Christ’s body, which is the church. In life’s race, Christians don’t and shouldn’t run alone. We share the actual life of God Himself in the church through His Spirit.

As Christians running the race of life, we’re blessed to be a part of an invisible assembly—the body of Christ worldwide. It’s vital to understand the body of Christ and our part in it, because God designed His church to work together.
