Draw Near to the Devil and He Will Draw Near to You

Founder and President

Pure Life Ministries has been a pioneer in dealing with sexual addiction and its consequences for over 35 years. During that span of time thousands of people have found freedom through our counseling programs and teaching materials.

James 4:7-8: "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” Although the title of this message is not an actual biblical quote, it is an ominous reality. Many professing Christians only draw near to God on Sundays, while cozying up to the devil throughout the week. James calls on his readers to draw near to God as if their very life depended upon it. “You will find Him if you search for Him with all your soul.”
