The Point of Purity Podcast

In his assault on Eve’s mind, Satan used three subtle steps to deceive her into buying his lie. We saw in last week’s episode that Satan attacks your mind with lies to turn you against God’s will. We also began a deep dive into HOW he typically attacks by looking at his approach to Eve in the Garden of Eden.  In this episode we will look at steps 2 and 3 and discover how we can counter his lies wi...

2 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that “We are not unaware of (Satan’s) schemes.” In other words, we already know his operating method. He’s been using the same tactics for centuries. That means you don’t have to go into battle against your spiritual foe ignorant of the tactics he’s going to use against you. We saw in last week’s episode that Satan attacks your mind with lies to turn you against God’s w...

Satan knows that as a born-again believer you are God’s precious child. That is exactly why he’s unloading his arsenal upon you. Satan hates God more than anyone in the universe. Satan wants to hurt God more than anyone. Satan knows that God loves you more than anything. His surest way to hurt God is to attack the love of God’s heart—you. Satan’s primary strategy in his war against God is to attac...

Job said, “I have not departed from the commands of (God’s) lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.” (Job 23:12) In last week’s podcast I said that we need to learn to delight in God’s Word. We need to say as David did, “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” (Psalm 119:103) The pressing question we have to address here is this: How d...

James 1:25 says, “The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this , not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.” (James 1:25) How are you doing with that? Are you looking intently into God’s Word? I’m not talking about casually glancing at Scripture. I’m not referring to doing a brief “devotional” every morning at...

Every time you sit in a Sunday service and listen to the sermon, every time you attend your Bible fellowship or Sunday School class and hear a lesson taught, every time you go to small group Bible study, every time you have your personal devotions or turn on the radio to hear your favorite preacher—every time—you are listening to the Word of God. Are God’s words “going in one ear and out the other...

Statistics tell us that 7 out of every 10 men, and 4 out of every 10 women admit to struggling at some level with lust, porn, masturbation and sexual impurity. Maybe that’s you. If not, I’m positive someone you love and care about is fighting this battle. This episode is geared specifically for you.  In this special episode, I share our personal testimony with you. I was a pastor addicted to porn...

 If you were to look closely at my thumb you would not see even a hint of green to it (except for maybe the time I hit it with the hammer). If I want something to grow in my garden, I typically go to the nearest gardening supply store and pick up a handy-dandy bottle of stuff to sprinkle on my plants. Voilà—they grow—it’s a miracle!  Why can’t I do that with my spiritual life? It feels like I’m co...

Galatians 5:16 says, “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” To consistently surrender your life to the leading of the Holy Spirit means you are moment-by-moment choosing to say “no” to the constant cravings of your sinful flesh. It also means you are continuously choosing to say “yes” to the Spirit’s rule in your heart and mind. It’s a choice. It's...

Why do we hold on to our FROGS? Why do we wait until tomorrow to deal with our sin-issues? Why do we choose to spend one more night with those Frequently Recurring Obstacles to Growing Spiritually when we know they aren't any good for us? Grab your Bible and come on in as we dive into this weeks episode - part 5 of our mini series on How to Live FOR Christ. In this episode we talk about our s...

Today, the world around us has almost completely rejected the concept of sin. Because mankind has refused to acknowledge it for what it is, they have no true understanding as to why they are the way they are. Everything they do is considered to be a “lifestyle choice.” Hardly anything is acknowledged to be sin anymore. It’s no wonder, then, that (as Christians) we struggle with living godly lives...

You are being watched. As people watch how you react and respond to whatever life throws at you, what are they seeing? What kind of “god” are you portraying to them? Whom are you worshiping? King Me? Or the King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s?  It’s only when you daily choose to surrender yourself completely to the One and only Almighty, God that people will see His godliness being lived out in every...

As long as you take breath, King Me is going to hound you. The King loves the throne. The King craves the attention. The King will fight you tooth and nail to hold on to the title as king of your heart & life.  Dethroning King Me isn’t just a one-and-done thing. King Me won’t go away that easily. You can’t just wake up one morning and say, “Okay, Your Highness, strike three, you’re outta here!...

Life is about so much more than just living. It’s more than just (inhale) sucking in oxygen. God has a purpose for you today, tomorrow, next week. In fact: His purpose for your life is understood only through a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Then and only then will you find  genuine purpose, fulfillment, meaning and real satisfaction to every aspect of your life.  Learn more about the minis...

The fact is: you cannot manufacture godliness on your own, but hey - you don’t need to. As a born-again believer, God is living in you. That means you already have His godliness. All of it! Listen:  Only God can be godly, and He has already placed all His godliness within you. You have the ability to be godly because you have the all-powerful God living within you!  Learn more about the ministry o...

What is the purpose of your life—why are you alive right now? The fact is, as a child of God, the life you’re living is not your life. This isn’t about you . Contrary to popular opinion, you aren’t here on this planet for your own personal pleasure and satisfaction.  In Romans 14:7-8 we see that God gifted you with life so that you could live it for Him and for His glory . All of it. Every bit of...

Why is it so important that God is in charge of every facet of my life? Why is it so difficult to always let go and let God be the final authority over my life? I’ve got a News Flash for you: This life isn’t about YOU. It never was and it never will be. Ok, I know, not actually a “News Flash” but we do tend to try to make it all about us don’t we! Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach...

To win our battle against sexual impurity, we must grasp the vital necessity of growing in our relationship with God. If you want to know how to defeat the dragon of sexual impurity, read God’s Word. If you want to live a life that honors and glorifies God, fill your mind with Scripture. As you apply God’s truth to your life, as you walk in obedience to God’s standards, you will be wise—you will b...

In our last few episodes we’ve been learning about why we always fail when we try to fight this battle for purity on our own. We can’t do it, but God can! In today’s episode we take a look at Psalm 19 and discover the singular, most powerful weapon God has provided us with that is guaranteed to take down the beast of sexual impurity in your life. Namely: The Word of God. Learn more about the minis...

Just as we need a solid foundation in order to build a solid structure, so we need to build a morally pure life on a spiritually solid foundation. The bottom line is simple, if you expect to stay standing in the midst of the storms of sexual temptation that constantly bombard you on every front, you need to be planted firmly on a foundation that will not fail—one that runs deep into solid rock.  W...

Proverbs 3:5-6 commands you to “trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Proverbs 4:23 commands, “Above all else, guard your heart!” So, how are you doing with that? Are you guarding your heart? Are you trusting in Him completely? Over the last two episodes we have been talking about the health of our spiritual heart. In this episode I want to share with you a couple more thoughts from God’s word o...

God is calling each and every one of us to put all of our attention upon Him. He knows what’s best for your heart. He knows what will make you spiritually healthy and help you grow, and He has prepared a special meal just for you! We need to open our Bible every day for the rest of our lives and feed upon every word that comes from God’s mouth In this episode we conclude last week’s study on how t...

Spiritually speaking, we are all born with a serious heart condition. Jeremiah 17:9 declares, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick.” Now here’s the good news. At the moment of your salvation that old sinful heart was crucified—put to death. Your hardened, calloused, and rebellious heart of stone was removed, and God gave you a new heart. You’ve had a total heart transplan...

In this episode we talk about the fact that we can’t fight this battle for purity on our own. We will discover that to win this war, we must be in God’s Word every day studying it, memorizing it, meditating...

God says, “do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.” It is vital for your integrity, it is critical for your purity, it is a necessity for your godliness that you remain faithful and true to God! That you stay focused! In this episode we continue our deep dive into Psalm 27 and ask the question: Are yo...
