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.

When sin entered the human race, our consciences were defiled. We all move into the shadows, hoping to hide from the consequences of what we’ve done. And when our deeds are exposed, our first instinct is to blame someone else.

Deep in every human heart is a conscience: a sense of right and wrong that we cannot shake off. When our conscience is clear, we have freedom. When we violate it, we’re in bondage. Can we clean up our lives and our consciences?

The Bible paints a different picture, one of a basic depravity that can only be remedied by the grace of God in Christ. In this message, we will see a big picture view of who we are, and how we can be made good in the eyes of God.
