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.

Without communication, there cannot be love. In a broken world that’s tearing apart, we want to hide from each other and ultimately from God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer offers hope to couples, families, and relationships fractured by barriers and hostility. God has made a way to cover the shame of our sin and brokenness.

It’s not possible to have a happy marriage or family without communicating. To understand the communication barriers we all have, we must visit the Garden of Eden. In this message from Genesis 3, Pastor Lutzer analyzes the roots of sin, shame, and fear in human relationships. If it’s so important, why can’t we communicate?

Despair is paralyzing. The feeling we are not worthy of God or His love strikes at our position in Christ as His precious child.

We all have internal struggles with sin. One major cause of evil is our enemy Satan, who seeks to destroy us.

Those who have a conscience can feel shame—that sense of embarrassment when caught in a sinful act. There’s also the painful, unhealthy shame inflicted on victims of abuse. In this message, Pastor Lutzer celebrates how Christ’s righteousness can be applied to broken, even deceived, hearts. We don’t have to stay stuck in shame.

Victims of sexual abuse live in a mix of shame and regret, and often with a desire for revenge. But we don’t have to be defined by what happened to us.

Those with sexual abuse in their past often live with fear or repressed anger. Some avoid intimacy or strike out at others, hoping to lessen their pain.
