When the Answer is Disguised, Part 1 of 3 (The Triumph of Unanswered Prayer)
April 17, 2015

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.

Someone has said, “Pressure produces.” It’s when we’re suffering that God refines our character, and that’s more important than Him answering our prayers when we think He should. Unanswered prayers and suffering form in us the quality of endurance.

When the answers to our prayers don’t come on our schedule, many of us lose heart. But the Bible says that trials and suffering produce endurance, a quality with which God is very pleased. Here are more lessons on what to do “When the Promises Don’t Work.”

It happens again and again: a child dies even after we pray. Where was God? Many react by giving up prayer, questioning God’s promises, intentions, and character. Do your prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling too?

Death is everyone’s unavoidable fate, due to the legacy of the sins committed by Adam and Eve. But believers cling to the promise of Jesus, “I am the resurrection and the life…he that believes in Me, though he may die, yet shall he live.”

Jesus faced untold agony in a place called Gethsemane. Knowing what awaited Him, and praying until blood drops hit the ground, He finally said to His Father, “Not my will, but Thine be done.” The great transaction would now take place.
