#647 - Don't Wait for God to Expose Your Sin

Jesus said that every deed done in secret would eventually be exposed. It’s not a question of if…just a matter of when. That's a frightening thought for those who have done a lot of shameful things in secret. 🔥 In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the danger of hiding sin, what happens in our souls when we refuse to bring our sins into the light, and the blessing of dealing with our sin in God’s chosen way. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Read the article this episode is based on: 💻 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/blog/dont-wait-for-god-to-expose-your-sin Listen to more episodes on confessing your sin: 🎧 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/blog/podcast-no-confession-no-freedom ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/blog/podcast-how-to-wisely-confess-sexual-sin-to-a-wife ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#646 - Unveiling Yahweh Part 2

Study the writings of godly men throughout the ages, and one thing stands out: In their eyes, He was incomparable, unsearchable and eternal. He wasn’t just a little better than the false gods, there was no comparison. He wasn’t just barely deserving of His people’s worship, He was worthy of total and utter devotion. In Part 2 of our Unveiling Yahweh episode, the PLM speaking team sits down to discuss Steve Gallagher's sermon on the greatness of God and will talk about why having a vision of God's greatness is so important for every professing believer. 🙇 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out the sermon this episode is based on: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/v5krpp9-obtain-a-greater-sight-of-yahweh-isaiah-409-31.html ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#645 - Unveiling Yahweh Part 1

About a year ago, we embarked on a new preaching series called "Unveiling Yahweh." Why? Because Scripture tells us that without a sight of God, we are spiritually foolish, shortsighted, proud, and hard-hearted. ⛓️ But when the eyes of our hearts are opened, His glory convicts us, breaks our pride and selfishness, leads us to repentance and then fills us with hope, courage, purity and love. ❤️‍🔥 In this 2-part episode, the speaking team of Pure Life Ministries will discuss two sermons that are part of this series, in hopes that your eyes will open to see the transforming glory of God. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out the sermon this episode is based on: ⛪ ➡️ https://rumble.com/v5iynhp-what-does-it-mean-to-know-god.html ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#644 - Why You Should Read "Gladys Aylward: The Little Woman"

At an evangelistic meeting, Gladys Aylward gave God a complete surrender of body and soul. Soon, the call came: go to China. It seemed impossible, but she was convinced if He had called her, He would lead and provide. Her story is both amazing and ordinary—her daring feats of bravery in the midst of the Japanese–Chinese war and her perilous trek leading a hundred children to freedom. 😮 Yet it also shines with simple acts of love and faith, flowing from her conviction that everyone needs to know the love of God in Jesus Christ. Her story is extraordinary, yet accessible to all. And it’s yet another reason why we think you should read Christian biographies. 📚 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Every true believer struggling with sin will eventually realize just how deeply they need inward transformation. But how is that transformation actually going to take place? Sheer willpower? Gaining doctrinal knowledge? Talking to others?

Every so often, people contact our ministry in deep despair, asking, “Have I committed the unpardonable sin?” In this Ask the Counselor episode, we’ll turn to Scripture to see what the unpardonable sin actually is, why those trapped in grievous sin often fear they’ve committed it, and—most importantly—what hope God gives to those who feel beyond forgiveness. ✝️🩸 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

How many times have you promised yourself, “I will never do that again!” but then fell into sin again?

#641 - Aligned More and More with God's Beautiful Will | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

When we surrender to God, He takes a personal and intimate interest in our lives. Because lawlessness still lingers in our fallen nature, He lovingly disciplines us—not to harm us, but to draw our wills into closer alignment with His beautiful will. As we yield to that process, we discover more and more of the peace and fulfillment that come from living under His authority. 🐑 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out more of our podcast series in our smartphone app: 📲 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/app-download ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#640 - Two Marks of a Genuine Believer: Submission and Faithfulness

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. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

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. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Jesus prophesied that on Judgment Day many would say to Him, “Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy, and preach, and cast out devils in Your name?" And to their shock, He will respond, “I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness.” 💔 In Ep. 07 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness" we'll face the uncomfortable reality that many in the Church are actually in the same spirit of lawlessness as the godless world around them. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

There is a great controversy raging within Christianity in our day. The question is: what relationship does faith have with righteousness? Of course, our concern is not with the technicalities of the debate. Our concern is whether people are being deceived into thinking that saving faith has nothing to do with the way they live their life. ⚠️ This is Ep. 06 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness." ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out our flagship resource by Pastor Steve Gallagher, “At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry”: 📕 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/at-the-altar-of-sexual-idolatry/ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 🛣️ ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#636 - Jesus Never Gave Us the Right to Be Lawless | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

Nearly every aspect of a first century Jew's existence was shaped by Torah. And yet, Jesus spoke to the Jews of His day like they were habitual law breakers. Why? Because they did not comprehend that the law was meant to make them desperate for a profound inward transformation. Today in America—we need the same realization. The inauguration of Jesus as King does not do away with the demand for obedience to God's laws. We too must cry out in desperation to be delivered from self and to be made into a loyal citizen of the kingdom of heaven. 🙇 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Learn more about Kathy’s testimony in her book, “When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart”: 💔 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/when-his-secret-sin-breaks-your-heart/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

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.

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? 🔍 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Yahweh wanted a unique and exclusive relationship with Israel. He wanted to reveal Himself to her and use her to call the nations to Himself. But Israel was so used to serving sin and self that she didn't know the first thing about embodying the humility, selflessness and purity of a God like Yahweh. In this episode, we’ll look at the momentous day when God came down in fire on Mt. Sinai to give Israel His law, and we’ll talk about why that event is still relevant for us today. 🔥 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

At the dawn of creation, sun and moon, stars and planets, birds, beasts, fish and man freely submitted to the authority of God. And then a rebel creature invited mankind to choose their own will above the will of God. And with that, the spirit of lawlessness began to work in this world. Welcome to our series, “Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness.” In this series, Steve Gallagher and the staff of PLM will offer both scriptural and practical truth aimed at helping each one of us discern whose authority we are under.

One of the worst parts about addiction is the sinking feeling that you’ll never break free from the horrible cycle of sin. You start to wonder if there’s any way out at all.

Sin always comes with painful consequences. Emotional, physical, or relational pain. And for many people, these consequences often stir up difficult questions. "If God loves me, why would He allow such hard consequences? Does this mean that God has forsaken me? Is there any way to move forward after this?" 😞 In today’s episode, we look to the Scripture to give biblical answers to some of these questions. 🔍 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

So, God calls you to preach to a tribe of cannibals. You move your family, learn their language—only to find they have no concern over sin, or judgment, or eternity. This was the dilemma Don Richardson found himself in as he sought to evangelize the primitive Sawi people. Thankfully, he pressed himself into entire dependence upon the Holy Spirit to show him how to spread the good news of Jesus Christ in this seemingly impossible context. And when God moved, He moved dramatically! 👀 In this episode, we’ll talk about why you should read “Peace Child” by Don Richardson. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “Peace Child” by Don Richardson: 🕊️ ➡️ https://a.co/d/8qRwNo7 ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Repentance is so vital to the Christian life, that there will be catastrophic consequences if we neglect it.

Repentance is an ancient concept—one could say it is as old as sin itself. From the very beginning, whenever God's people have been separated from Him by sin, repentance has been the key to restoring their relationship with Him.

Many Christians don't realize that God never intended for repentance to be a one-time event, because sin isn't overcome all at once! It's overcome little by little, and every time we truly repent, we're given new power to overcome sin, and new power for holy living. 🙇 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 📖 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Repentance and brokenness might seem negative...until you experience the spiritual benefits that flow from them. For example: a true fear of God that destroys the love of sin.

According to Jesus, the pathway into the Kingdom of God is marked out by two inseparable things—genuine repentance from our sins and a real choice to put our faith and trust in Him. But, in our church culture, many seem to think that repentance is unnecessary as long as you "believe." 🙅‍♂️ In this episode, Steve Gallagher will address this fatal error by showing that there is no such thing as saving faith apart from repentance. ⬆️ ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 📖 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ Residential Counseling Program: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Are Addictions Caused by Childhood Problems? | Ask the Counselor

Some say that if you want to discover the roots of addictive behavior, you have to look at a person’s childhood, because the data shows that if a child’s father doesn’t give them the love they need, they can have real problems later in life. But does that mean that a father's failure to love causes a person to become an addict? In today’s interview, we'll discuss what the Bible teaches about why we do what we do, and how to deal with our own bad choices.

"I’m struggling.” This is probably the most common way Christian men describe their continual attempts to break free from sexual sin. 😓 But for many, it would be much more accurate if they said, "I'm a slave to lust.” In today’s episode, we'll get to the heart of addiction and we'll talk about the first step men must take if they want real freedom. ⛅ ------ Check out more segments of "Ask the Counselor": 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/ZToXPj4NDVg ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Keep Your Eyes on God's Goal

Sometimes the goal we set for ourselves does not fully match God's goal for us. Here's a surprising example of this: when we make freedom from sexual sin our highest goal. In today’s interview, we’ll talk about why God's goal for our lives is much deeper and more wonderful than that, and why pursuing His goal for our lives is a key lesson on the road to freedom.

Mercy Destroys the Spirit of Lust

Real freedom isn't just about protecting our hearts from a lustful spirit, it's about yielding to a completely different kind of spirit—a loving, giving, spirit of mercy. 🙇‍♂️ In today’s interview, we’ll talk about why learning to get in the flow of God’s mercy is absolutely critical for going all the way into a life of victory, and we’ll also give you some practical things that will help you foster that spirit of mercy. ❤️‍🔥 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

How to Wisely Confess Sexual Sin to a Wife

How should a husband confess that he is in sexual sin to his wife? Whether it’s years of addiction to pornography or illicit affairs, acknowledging this kind of sin to one’s wife is a delicate task. But a man cannot simply unload all the details and expect to easily move on. He must realize that confession is only the beginning of a very difficult process for them both. In this interview, Kathy Gallagher and Pastor Ed Buch sit down with Nate to share from years of experience how they have counseled husbands and wives to successfully work through this difficult and sensitive topic.

5 Steps to Overcoming Hopelessness | Ask the Counselor

We looked at common things inside us that lead to these feelings in our last episode and showed how they prevent us from gaining freedom. This week, we’ll identify five crucial steps that a person must take if they want to walk in true liberty from sin and what it looks like to put those into practice.

Today’s focus is on the common barriers to overcoming sexual sin and the ways these often produce hopelessness in a sex addict’s life. This interview is part of our new and ongoing “Ask the Counselor” series, where we interview various members of our counseling staff about some of the common questions asked by those in sexual sin.

When Jesus Returns, What Will He Find

When Jesus came in the first century, what He found caused Him to fashion a whip to cleanse the temple and led Him to pronounce woe on the religious leaders.

One of those often-unnoticed opponents is pride, and yet overcoming it is closely linked with living a pure life. In this episode we talk about the struggle for humility and why it is so important to never give up in that fight.

Husbands, It's Time to Know Christ

For the Christian husband coming out of sexual sin, reclaiming his marriage for the Lord will be no simple task. But thankfully, he is not alone! Jesus is with him. Jesus is willing to come along side any man who desires to magnify Christ in his marriage. And as a husband seeks to know Jesus’ heart, his marital relationship will grow stronger. The personal testimony of Jeff Colón and his wife Rose will inspire any to find the answer to all his marriage’s problems in knowing Christ.

Husbands, It’s Time to Lay Your Life Down

Married men in sexual sin often say that they love their wives. But their actions tell a different story. Viewing pornography, committing adultery, and engaging in other forms of illicit sexual behavior reveal a lack of love in their hearts. After years of this hypocrisy, putting the words, “I love you,” into action will be difficult. But husbands can learn how to love their wives by letting Scripture teach them God’s way of love. Our heavenly Father’s willingness to give up His precious Son demonstrates that love. Christ’s becoming a man and willingly sacrificing His life for us reveals it too. It’s a standard every husband must strive for. Love that gives all and holds nothing back.

Husbands, It’s Time to Be Honest

As we continue our series on becoming a biblical husband, we want to cover another critical aspect of rebuilding a marriage—honesty, transparency and vulnerability. These virtues are essential in marriage, especially for men overcoming sexual sin, because many of them are well versed in hiding their sin and lying. Dustin Renz’s own secret life built up for years. And while he felt that he was protecting those around him through his lies, he now looks back seeing how his deception only prolonged his path into freedom. His wife Brittany shares with us as well the devastating effects his hidden sin had on her, a young mother on the mission field. Together they share with us what it took for them to work through the aftermath of all this in a biblical way.

Husbands, It’s Time to Be Selfless

Selfishness is engrained deep within the heart of any man who's given himself over to a life of sexual sin. This sinful mindset will be a huge challenge in learning to be a good husband, even after the Lord has begun a real work. In this interview, Steve Gallagher shares how selfishness caused division in his marriage for years and discusses the process the Lord used to transform his heart and make him into a more loving and caring husband.

Husbands, It's Time to Fulfill Your Calling

If you’re really beginning to live in victory, you might think that from here on out everything will be easy. But in your marriage, you will still see that old man rising up. You may find your temper surfacing occasionally. Complaining and criticism may still come naturally. There’s even thoughts of lust still grabbing at you when you least expect it. Is this what God has for your marriage? I think the answer is yes, and no. It’s not God’s will that you continue in sin. However, he does desire to use these struggles to mold both of your characters. It takes time to unlearn years of sinful habits and to learn the values that God has designed and called you to live out in your marriage. For husbands, it starts by learning to love and serve your wife in the way that Christ loves us.

Developing a Life of Intercession
26:13

Developing a Life of Intercession

If we carefully read the Gospels and the Book of Acts, we can clearly see that prayer was a huge part of the life of Jesus and the early church. There were times Jesus spent all night in prayer. The apostles spent ten days praying in the upper room, seeking God and waiting for the Holy Spirit. When Peter was in prison, the believers prayed, and the prison doors opened. The believers in Antioch prayed and fasted, leading to the commissioning of Paul and Barnabas for missionary work. There is no mistaking it: God moves in response to prayer, and if we want to do God’s will of mercy, then we must learn to become strong in prayer.

In our podcast series, "Victory," we have been learning that living a life devoted to helping meet the needs of others will destroy the power of lust in our lives. But we learn very quickly that our flesh and the devil are directly opposed to this lifestyle and that there are many hindrances to keep us from living out God’s will. In this interview we want to discuss a few of those hindrances which come against us as we seek to repent of that selfish lifestyle.

Lyndell's Story of Hope: An Adulterous Christian Woman No More

Lyndell Holtz grew up surrounded by godly examples. She had a powerful experience with the Lord as a young girl, developing strong convictions about right and wrong. She eventually married an aspiring minister and began a life she thought was destined for happiness. But after 20 years Lyndell found herself depressed and doubting, still aching for that happiness.

Breaking Free from Satan's Will

From Our Podcast Purity for Life Episode #395 - https://www.purelifeministries.org/podcast Satan is an incredibly crafty foe. He can convince multitudes that, though they have ongoing sin in their life, their work in ministry or church attendance means they are living according to God's will. Tragically, hundreds of thousands are living like this, professing Christianity but enslaved to sin. If this describes you, know that it doesn't have to stay this way. In this segment, we talk with Biblical Counselor Luke Imperato about how we can start living wholly in God's will instead of Satan's.

I’ll never be free.” If you’ve been thinking along these lines, you’ve fallen prey to self-pity, just another one of Satan’s schemes to keep people away from true repentance, faith and salvation. It’s an easy trap to fall into. In this episode, we look at how to know if you’re in self-pity, how to avoid it, and how to get out of it.

Study the writings of godly men throughout the ages, and one thing stands out: In their eyes, He was incomparable, unsearchable and eternal. He wasn’t just a little better than the false gods, there was no comparison. He wasn’t just barely deserving of His people’s worship, He was worthy of total and utter devotion. In Part 2 of our Unveiling Yahweh episode, the PLM speaking team sits down to discuss Steve Gallagher's sermon on the greatness of God and will talk about why having a vision of God's greatness is so important for every professing believer. 🙇
