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.

A death-row inmate faces a grim prospect, with nowhere to turn. But sometimes, if new evidence is discovered, a governor will set him free. We all deserve a spiritual death-row sentence.  But here is another gift God has given those who trust Christ.

Humans are capable of awful things. The long history of war, oppression and greed proves that. We’d never turn from sin were it not for the grace of God. Redemption is entirely God’s idea… and God’s children inherit the riches of that redemption.

When Christians read the Bible, they find a vast horde of blessings that they’ll inherit as children of God. Our outlook on life becomes an uplook when we realize what’s ahead. Here is a partial listing of what you inherited the moment you received Christ.

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” Is this true? Some say they’ve been abandoned by God. How do we reconcile this Bible promise with the reality of tough personal situations?

How would you react if you inherited a million dollars? Disbelief? Sure, but reality would sink in when you got the check. If you’re a believer, you have a check waiting for you at the bank of heaven. And it’s for far more than a mere million.

None of us chose to be born. Being born into God’s family is no different. God makes sure we are spiritually born, and then provides the resources we need to grow as His children.

Those who believe in Jesus and have found new life all share a common reality: they were chosen by God in eternity past. If life now seems uncertain, know this: your future is as secure as the God who will make sure you get there.

Comprehending God’s purpose in salvation is mind-expanding. In the majestic eighth chapter of Romans, that’s at the core of Paul’s teaching. Let’s take a clear look at what, for many, is a hard-to-understand part of the Christian faith.
January 20, 2017
As believers mature in the faith, they come to realize that salvation is not so much a result of our seeking God as it is the result of God choosing us first. If God had not done this, none of us would ever have chosen Him.
January 19, 2017
God works in the lives of His people to bring about good even when what’s happening is bad. Through the eye of faith, we who know Him can be sure that a better day is coming, and we can live triumphantly no matter what comes our way.
