#676 - Self-Deception: The Quiet Corruption of Our Hearts

A simple definition of deception is to make someone believe something that isn’t true. Every Christian in ongoing sexual sin has mastered the art of deception. And while we often think of deception as something we do to other people, the most dangerous form may be the deception we do to ourselves. Steve Martin, Biblical counselor at Pure Life Ministries, joins the podcast to talk about how to recognize self-deception, its dangers, and what you must do about it.   Resources we mentioned: * At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry [https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/at-the-altar-of-sexual-idolatry/] (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

Revelation 13 - Eternity with God

The last chapters of Revelation give us a glimpse of a new heaven and a new earth. God will purify this earth to usher in His Kingdom, free from crime, fear, and pain. Soberly, how you live now proves if you belong there. If we love and obey God here, we will in eternity; if we love sin now, we will not magically desire His Kingdom later.

#675 - Hypocrisy, Hidden Sin, & One Man's Journey to True Faith

Unfortunately, the American church is full of people who wear the mask of hypocrisy. And it’s not just sexual sin. Many “deeds of the flesh” are indulged in, like anger, envy, gossip, and greed. But you would never know it because many who sit in churches every Sunday have learned to play the Christian part so well, it’s hard to know what’s true or what’s just an act. Vinny Pappas joins the podcast to share how the Lord exposed the hypocrisy in his life, and how that was crucial in leading him out of sexual sin.   Resources: * Pure Life Ministries Residential Program [https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential] * 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfTkJo2qb1jVRhcXEjXfKRS-wNPihq5SC&si=ESXm83QKMfNr8QS-] (Video Series) By Steve Gallagher * 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction [https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/20-truths-that-helped-me-in-my-battle-with-porn-addiction/] (40 Day Study Journal) By Steve Gallagher * At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry [https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/at-the-altar-of-sexual-idolatry/] (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org
