Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

January 5, 2017

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.

To save her people from extinction, Esther faced the risk of execution to beg the king of Persia to rescind a royal edict. She didn’t try to “pass the buck.” She knew that at that key moment, “the buck stopped here.”

At crucial times, great leaders arise, often from simple roots. They’re seen at the vortexes of history, and are often called upon to make momentous choices. Today we meet one such leader, a woman named Esther.

The “peace on earth” spoken of in the Christmas story will not happen until Jesus sets up His kingdom on earth. He’ll deliver the whole world from the scourge of war. But when He first came to live among us, very few understood that.

Jews in Jesus’ day were enslaved by the Roman Empire. That’s why some saw in Jesus a long-sought deliverer. But Jesus had a larger deliverance to make: a deliverance from the power of sin.

In a Nazareth synagogue, Jesus opened a scroll of Isaiah the prophet and began to read, ending by saying, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.” Only the Son of God could say that. 
December 23, 2016
Through a simple life, Jesus taught us by example how to serve one another. Let’s look at Christ the Servant as foreseen in the writings of the prophet Isaiah.
