Running To Win

Lies We Love, Lies That Hurt, Part 2 of 2 (Restoring The Soul)

July 12, 2019

“If it feels good, it must be right. After all, I’m entitled to my happiness.” Those are lies, by which we rationalize our disobedience to God’s commands about sex. In this message we talk about the many ways we twist the truth, in order to justify what our hormones demand.

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.

It takes a work of God to implant eternal life. All the effort we could ever expend won’t take us an inch in heaven’s direction. Jesus told us that what we need is the miracle of the new birth.

For those running the race of life, the goal line is heaven. If there was just one thing required to make it across the finish line, wouldn’t you want to know what it is? In this message, we learn about that one thing, and how desperately we need it.
