#4 of 4
The problem of evil is perhaps the thorniest issue facing theologians. Clearly, God could prevent evil, but He does not. Since He is in charge, the wars and suffering around us must be a part of His plan for the world. For some, this creates a dilemma they cannot resolve. Are you among those who feel this way? Well, today we will face the issue head-on.

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.

Join us on a mind-expanding journey into God's intentions for the newly created human race...a journey that may not go where you think.

To get an accurate picture of what God really does know, stay with us.

Our Future Decisions #2 of 4
Like any intellectual pursuit, theology has its fads, such as the idea that God does not know our decisions in advance. Going far beyond the classic debates between Calvinists and Arminians, some now say that God has chosen to limit His omniscience to let us fully express our free wills. Well, today, another lie bites the dust.

Our Future Decisions #1 of 4
Some theologians see our lives as on a chessboard. We make a move, and then God responds with a countermove. These modern thinkers feel that God gives us totally free will, and then adapts Himself to our choices as we make them. To these theologians, the future for God is an unfinished novel. Today: we will see another lie exploded.
