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.

Sin is an affront to the holiness of God. When we allow it in our lives, it leaves us dead and unable to connect with God. God intervened through the redeeming power of His Son’s sacrifice.

It’s impossible to miss if you read your Bible: God has no tolerance of something called sin. Sin is so serious that God sent His only Son to die as a sacrifice to pay its penalty, satisfying His own demands for justice.

The Holy Spirit of God convicts believers of their sins. When we become Christians, our body becomes the Spirit’s temple. Let’s keep a clean house for Him as we serve the Lord.
