Luke Imperato, Director of our Residential Program, testifies of God’s unchanging pattern of redemption.
Sexual sin causes destruction in people’s lives. But the good news is that God does redeem sexual sinners! He just has to start the process by dealing heavily with our sin—something that really puts it to death. But this will produce spiritual life if we respond with repentance and faith.
Latest podcast: Learn to flee temptation! Our biblical counselors tackle tough questions from young men in part 1 of our Q&A.
2000 years ago, Paul told the Corinthian Christians to RUN from sexual sin because our bodies are meant to be the dwelling place for God’s Spirit! This requires us to stand AGAINST cultural norms and let God’s Word set the standard for our behavior.
This is the first of a two-part episode where our counselors answer questions from young men about purity. In this episode we’ll tackle things like “What’s too far physically in a dating relationship?” “Is co-habitation really a big deal?” “Is sexting a sin,” and more.
Steve Gallagher explains how Christians in sexual sin have more in common with the older brother than the prodigal son.
Christians in sexual sin have more in common with the older brother than with the prodigal son. Although the older brother remained in the father’s house, he was just as spiritually disconnected from his father as his prodigal brother. Sin always separates people from God, whether they’re in church or not.
In today’s message, Steve Gallagher explains the older brother’s case, calling people to reject lifeless religion and to return to the Father.

In today’s message, Steve Gallagher focuses on the prodigal son’s long journey home.
Once a sinner comes to their senses and repents of their sin, they’re only at the beginning of what is going to be a long journey home to the Father. Along the way, there are many difficulties—temptations and discipline to name a few—but they all have one purpose: to keep that man on the narrow way home. In today’s sermon, Steve Gallagher explains this journey using Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son.
This episode: If Jesus said every secret deed would eventually be exposed, why not bring it to the light yourself so God isn't forced to?
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.
Let God illuminate your darkness; listen to the final sermon of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series.
In the final sermon of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at the Light of God.
There are many Christians bound up in sexual sin who don’t know what’s holding them back. They try to find the answers through professional counselors, weekend seminars, teaching books, and accountability groups—but are left stuck in a cycle of sin time and time again.
Little are they aware that if they simply turn to the Lord and open their whole heart to Him, He will faithfully perform a twofold work in their hearts. He will first expose what is below the surface, causing them to continue to fall. And then He will give them the power to walkout a life of righteousness!
This episode: Yahweh is incomparably greater than all other gods and worthy of total devotion. When we see this it will change everything.
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.
God didn’t conquer death so that we can live for this world—He did it so that we would live forever in Him.
In the 33rd message of our “Unveiling Yahweh” series, we will be looking at God’s power over death.
Strong or weak, rich or poor, proud or humble—death will eventually overcome us all. But here’s the good news: God has provided the way out through a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
But we must make a choice:
refuse the gospel in exchange for love of the world,
or
repent of our sins and believe in Him.
Only when we choose God’s way, can we know Him as the victor over death in our lives.
This episode: Without a sight of God we are spiritually blind. But a sight of His glory brings us to deep repentance and inward change.
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.
Paul knew that Christians don’t have to live in defeat, but in victory! Do you?
Good news, Christian: You don’t have to live in defeat! Even though sin seems to be accepted in American Christianity, Romans 6–8 shows this was never God’s plan. In the final message from our recent special meetings, Dr. John Oswalt unpacks this passage to show that, for all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ, the truth is clear: You can live in victory!
This episode: Gladys Aylward's story is incredible yet accessible—one more reason why we think you should read Christian biographies.
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.
