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.

No one hears the church’s outcry on the filth seen on TV and the movies, since the church is watching like everybody else.

Signs and wonders always attract attention. But few take notice when a man or woman finds salvation through Christ. Where is God’s power most clearly seen?

In some cities, you can attend a miracle healing service almost any night, or see one on cable TV during the day. Miracles seem to be everywhere. Almost everybody wants one.

“All that glitters is not gold.” That’s especially true of false teaching. Our task is to discern the genuine article. We need to avoid the rabbit-trails of error as we run the race of life.

In both Testaments, the Bible has a lot to say about false prophets. Most of it is bad news for prophet and follower alike. Modern-day false prophets promise blessing without repentance, and prosperity for all who send a gift. Some TV preachers exploit the vulnerable and lead many astray.
