The Point of Purity Podcast

In Genesis 4:7 God promises that when you do what is right, you’ll be blessed. But what is the “right” thing to do? Some people may think “The right thing to do is quit lusting. Stop getting angry. No longer be prideful.” And so on. While they would be somewhat correct, as it is certainly right to stop doing those things, they would also be somewhat incorrect as that is not what God is referring t...

In Philippians 4:19 the Apostle Paul declares, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Only God can give you what you are seeking.

You cannot do this without Him.   Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach at  http://www.thepuritycoach.com SHARE HOW GOD IS USIN...

Do you bumble In being humble? Pride says, “I am King. I am ‘god.’ Therefore, I must at all times feel happy, fulfilled, and satisfied. Worship me.” The primary focus is always upon self.

Hint: it’s not God.   Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach at...

In Jeremiah 33:3 God declares, “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Is that not what we’re after?

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord!” (Acts 3:19).

It demands a conscious choice to turn away from one thing and toward another.   Learn more about the...

Thirst can be a powerful motivator. When thirsty, you might do just about anything to quench that thirst. The longing begins to dominate your thinking, leaving you with a “gotta have it no matter what” mentality. Eventually, all you can think about is quenching your thirst. You begin to dedicate all of your time, your energy, your resources, your will, toward the singular goal of eliminating that...

Never lose sight of the fact that Satan is not your friend. He does not care about your pleasure, enjoyment, happiness, or fulfillment. He wants your destruction. Peter warns us to “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.” Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach at  http://...

When you begin to doubt and question God’s Word, it becomes much easier to deny God’s truth. Then it becomes easier to decide to do something other than what God says.

Just like the blinders on a horse, you will not be distracted by other things that have the potential of taking you off the right path. You won’t see that attractive lure dangling enticingly off to the side, trying to draw you away from your single-hearted devotion to Christ. Learn more abo...

Every day we are faced with choices about what we’re going to permit ourselves to see. Are you going to choose to see only those things that admonish and encourage you to live a godly life, or will you choose to allow yourself to view things that have the strong potential of tempting you to indulge in the sinful lusts of the flesh?

Do you desire to please God with your life? Do you also struggle with sinful thoughts and habits? In Gal. 5:17 Paul reminds us that the flesh is in conflict with the spirit – and the spirit is in conflict with the flesh. They are opposed to each other making it difficult to do what is right. In Romans 7 Paul talks about how the things he wants to do, he doesn’t; and the things he doesn’t want to d...

As important as it is for our physical well-being to not only eat but eat right, it is even more important for our spiritual well-being that we not only “eat,” but eat properly. God instructs Joshua (and us) to keep His Word on our lips. In other words, we need to daily feed on Scripture. We need a daily diet of God’s Word.   Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach at  http://www.thepuri...

It is probably safe to say that most of us want to be prosperous and successful, whether it’s as work, in our financial endeavors, our friendships, and on the list can go.
