When the Answer is Disappoints, Part 1 of 3 (The Triumph of Unanswered Prayer)
May 1, 2015
If we ask why some Christians abandon the faith they once had, the reason is usually unanswered prayer. The bitter disappointment of knowing that God could heal a child or resolve a bitter dispute, yet He chooses not to do so, leaves us wondering whether God actually cares. These messages are intended to increase our faith and remind us that God's hidden purpose is more important than having our desires met. You need to hear these encouraging truths, and you probably know someone else who needs them as well.

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.
