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.

Christmas marks a singular event in human history...the day the Son of God was born. That day was announced by angels. Angels are God's messengers, and the account in the book of Luke tells us that angels were instrumental in making Christ's birth known over the skies of Bethlehem. Royalty was coming into the world, a King Who would live and die, and then rise again to return in glory.

Many families gather at Christmas to read the Nativity story from Luke chapter 2...a story marked by the supernatural work of angels. Angels had a joyous task 2,000 years ago...announcing the Good News of the Savior's birth. The skies over Bethlehem were ablaze with light, as poor shepherds cowered in fear. Today we will take a look at "What Angels Celebrate."

Modern thinking says angels are benevolent friends looking for ways to help us build our field of dreams. Real angels are far different. God's warriors do His bidding, protect His children, and fight demonic forces in unseen places. The angels always point us to God Himself. They know what we need to know: that God is high and lifted up, seated on the throne of His glory.

Christmas is a great time for angels. You see them in department stores, on Christmas tree branches and on holiday greeting cards. But many people are confusing demonic dalliances with real angelic visitations. Today's program will help you understand the difference...a difference that is more crucial than ever, as more and more people are being deceived.

Today it is OK to believe in angels...especially the kind that make our dreams come true. But beware of these angels. Believers running life's race understand the difference between God's angels and Satan's fallen angels, who seek to deceive us any way they can. Today, we continue a study of angels, and we will move from what they do to what they know.

TV shows, books, and magazines all tell us that angels come to us in disguise to surprise us with wonderful experiences. But believers running life's race know that these "surprises" really come from fallen angels, or demons. Real angels do not have time to give us warm, fuzzy feelings. They have a job to do: carrying out God's orders and serving as ministering spirits to God's people.

You can read lots of books about people's experiences with angelic beings. Problem is, some of those beings are no angels. Believers in life's race know that fallen angels, or demons, do Satan's bidding on planet earth. Real angels serve God, and God alone. Today: signs to help us discern the differences between very real beings who inhabit the spiritual realm we cannot see.

Christmas will soon be here, and many of us have angels on the tops of our trees. Pop culture makes much of angels, but who are they? For believers running life's race, God has provided an unseen army of angels, powerful creatures whose duties go far beyond decorating trees. To help us understand them, Dr. Lutzer brings us a series called "The Flurry Of Wings," a study of angels.

Whether rich or poor, all of us are equal in one key area. No one has more than twenty-four hours in any given day. Making our time count means spending some of that time in the presence of God. Through prayer we can receive guidance and develop our faith. Then we can navigate the unknowns of life with the One Who knows the end from the beginning.

Waiting for God...it goes against our instincts. When something needs to be done, most of us want to jump in and do it. But waiting for His timing guarantees that things happen at the right time. Waiting for God means investing time every day in prayer: seeking His face, and seeking His direction. Today: how David survived the decade between becoming King and actually being King.
