Pure Life Ministries Podcast

As we earnestly seek to be like Christ, we may get discouraged when we see how unlike Him we still are. In this "From the Chapel" segment, Josh Rowand testifies that as we fix our eyes on Him and simply obey Him, He is faithful to make us more and more like Him.

As we’ve seen throughout this series, a spirit of lawlessness has infiltrated much of the church. But scattered across this world are those who have rejected lawlessness and submitted themselves to God. In this episode, we’re looking at two character qualities that exist in every true believer: submission to God and faithfulness in the midst of life's trials.

It's nearly unthinkable that a pastor would come right out and say, “It’s all grace—live however you want, and you certainly don’t have to obey God!” But what if sermons are being preached every week across America that imply exactly that? Today, we’ll talk about the doctrine that has quietly created an atmosphere of lawlessness inside the church.

In this Timeless Truths segment, Jeff and Rose Colón explain that broken marriages will only experience true restoration when both the husband and the wife learn to walk in true repentance and humility toward each other.

There’s an old adage that goes like this: If you think you can’t be deceived, you’re already half-way there. With the antichrist spirit rising in our world, we must vigilantly guard our hearts with the truth of God’s Word and submission to God's authority.

God had healed Mike's lung cancer and delivered him from an addiction to drugs and alcohol, but he was still full of bitterness, anger and addicted to sexual sin. At Pure Life Ministries, Mike was broken over his selfishness and began to give to others the same love that he received from the Lord.

Our fallen hearts tell us that we should be in charge of our own lives and that we should do whatever seems right to us. But this lawless lifestyle actually leads to destruction. In the 4th episode in our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness," we'll talk about the blessings that flow into the lives of those who become passionately committed to keeping God's law from the heart.

Timeless Truths: Satan doesn't really care if people live moral lives, as long as they never truly give their allegiance to God. This is why we must allow God to lead us into repentance from the rebellion that is in all of us.

The holy law of God tests the human heart to its core. It cuts against pride, selfishness, lust and injustice. It requires (and rewards) genuine, self-sacrificial love. It asks every seeker after God a penetrating question: Will we truly submit to God and His ways, or will we embrace the spirit of lawlessness and self-will?

Timeless Truths: The greatest threat to the church of the Last Days is not the antichrist, but rather the spirit of antichrist that is already powerfully at work in the world.

From the Chapel: If we're living in a way that opposes God and His will, we cannot have genuine fellowship with Him. This means that we all must be willing for God to point out grievous ways inside of us. Once He does, we must return to Him, asking for forgiveness and mercy.

Timeless Truths: Every sincere Christian has made a decision to submit to the will of God. But that decision is going to be tested—especially in America. We’re surrounded by so much prosperity that, if we’re not careful, we can easily be drawn away from devotion to Christ and into a spirit of covetousness.
