The Point of Purity Podcast

What exactly is an archenemy? How is that different from a regular enemy? An archenemy is someone who is extremely hostile and opposed to a specific person. An archenemy hates you and wants nothing more than to see your total annihilation. So, he hounds you. He assaults you. He haunts you day and night. He is relentless in his attacks. He won’t quit until you are destroyed. As a Super Man of God,...

What your eyes  see shows you how to live, where to go and what to do. So, what happens when the majority of the things we allow our eyes to see each day are sinful and ungodly? This episode asks the question, are you protecting your eyes?

The spiritual battles we are engaged in make World War I and II combined look like a child’s game. At times this war can seem overwhelming. At times it feels like it’s never going to let up, never going to end and we just want to quit. Don’t give up!

Do you desire to please God with your life? Do you also struggle with sinful thoughts and habits? There’s a conflict going on there, right? On the one hand there’s a desire to please God. Yet on the other there’s a strong desire to please self.  How do we win? Welcome to the Point of Purity Podcast! I’m your host Steve Etner – author, National Speaker, Certified Professional Mentor TM and Purity C...

Satan is a master at deception. Just ask Eve. Just ask Judas. Just ask David, or Peter, or even me. His ultimate goal is to lead your thinking away from God. His purpose is to turn you against your Heavenly Father, and he knows the best way to do that is to weasel his way into your mind.

Everyone struggles with temptation; it’s just a fact of life. Let’s face it, temptation to sin is all around us. Just as a fisherman uses a specific lure to capture a fish, so Satan lures us away from the path God wants us to take. So, what is the lure that draws you? James says it’s your own evil desires. It’s King Me sitting on the throne of your heart that always leads you into trouble. Learn m...

It’s important that we deal with our broken cisterns, our FROGS, our Kryptonite. Those habitual sins won’t provide you with what you’re looking for. They may promise you happiness, they may try to guarantee you pleasure, they may tell you that they can offer everything you could ever want in life—but they’re broken. They won’t give you what you need, simply because they cannot. Only Jesus is the a...

Whenever Superman is around a chunk of Kryptonite, he is robbed of the strength the sun provides him. Just like Superman, as Teknon Theos (a child of God) your power to stand firm against the enemy comes directly from the SON. The closer you are in your relationship to Jesus Christ, the greater your power.  Yet you too have a weakness. It’s your Kryptonite. Learn more about the ministry of The Pur...

Your words are a direct result of what is going on in your thoughts. What you think will come out in what you say. If your thoughts are focused on King Me, your words will be centered on self. The prophet Isaiah said that the man whose mind is busy with evil will speak folly. On the flip side, if your thoughts are focused on God, your words will draw attention to Him.

Here’s a question for you to consider: As people watch you, are they getting a right view of God? Are you making a lasting impression upon them for the Kingdom of Heaven? In fact, there’s a deeper, more significant question you should be asking yourself. Do those people even know that they should be asking you to tell them who you really are and how you’re able to do the things you do for Christ?...

One of the biggest obstacles we face, preventing us from being Super Men of God, is believing the lie of the enemy that says, “Well, you’re only human, and that means you’re going to sin.” Yes, we’re human. Yes, we have a tendency toward sin. But no, we do not have to give in to it. We sin because King Me is sitting on the throne of our hearts. We sin because we choose to. Learn more about the min...

Have you ever stood at a wishing well and, just for the fun of it, tossed in an old, dirty penny? Think of that well as your mind. What’s being tossed into it? What are other people tossing in there? What are you allowing to enter your mind every day? What are you allowing yourself to think about?

The guy who “delights” in God’s Word is the guy who finds great pleasure in reading it. He can’t wait for the moment when he can open its pages and study it, just to hear God speak to him. He’s the guy who sees the value in using it to address his problems; and he’s anxious about living it out in his life. Do you feel that way about your Bible? Do you delight in God’s Word? Learn more about the mi...

To be a wise man, to be a Super Man of God, to consistently – daily be God’s man of steel, you must not only hear what God is saying, but also seek to understand how it applies to you. Then , as the Holy Spirit guides you, make the necessary adjustments to your daily behavior so you can consistently live out God’s truth and principles. When you do this, God says you are a wise builder. This is whe...

Are You a Wise Man or a Moron? How’s that for an opening question? Does it intrigue you or offend you? Jesus sure had a way of doing that to people. You see, He asked that very question in Matthew 7. In Matthew 7 Jesus introduces us to Wally and Martin. Wally is a wise man, and Martin is a moron.  So, who are these two guys? What are they building? What makes Wally wise and Martin a moron? Enquiri...

Which kind of home would you want to live in: one built on a weak foundation, or one built on a strong one? Seems like a silly question. After all, what sane person would want to live in a house built on a poor foundation (that is, unless you’re a little pig thinking you’re safe from the big bad wolf)? Just as a solid foundation is needed in order to build a solid structure, so we need to build ou...

Are you ready to give everything you are and everything you have for your King? Yes, you may be asked to stand on the battlefield alone. You may be required to fight the fight of faith with no one standing by your side. But do you understand that when you surrender to the Lordship and leadership of God in your life you are guaranteed the victory? The Almighty, all-powerful God of the Universe is w...

Have you ever been in a spot where you knew the odds were stacked against you? You knew there was no way you could win. You knew if you stood up for what was right, if you chose fight instead of flight, you risked losing everything. And yet, in spite of all of that, you stood for what you knew to be right no matter the cost. That, gentlemen—that is a man of steel. That is what makes a Super Man of...

Do you want to be stronger spiritually, able to stand firm when the enemy attacks, capable of not giving in to your Kryptonite, bending your will so it conforms to God’s? Do you want to be faster, able to go immediately to God when facing a trial or temptation? Do you want to see through the walls of doubt and fear and comprehend what God’s path is for your life? Then you must train yourself to be...

Do you truly want to live a life that consistently glorifies God?  Think deep. Think long and think hard. Make the bat connect with the ball. As a man, deep down in your gut do you want, long, desire, and crave for a life totally characterized by godliness no matter what? Do you really want to be a Super Man of God?

David begins Psalm 27 by declaring “The Lord, the Almighty, All-Powerful, Most Holy and Sovereign One who cares about me is my light and is the only one I choose to follow!” That simple statement declared to the world David’s willful, intentional, purposeful decision to daily turn his back on King Me and follow the only One who can show him how to navigate through life.
