God had healed Mike's lung cancer and delivered him from an addiction to drugs and alcohol, but he was still full of bitterness, anger and addicted to sexual sin. At Pure Life Ministries, Mike was broken over his selfishness and began to give to others the same love that he received from the Lord.

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.   Related Resources: When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart (Book) By Kathy Gallagher

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. In the 4th episode in our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness," we'll talk about the blessings that flow into the lives of those who become passionately committed to keeping God's law from the heart.

Timeless Truths: Satan doesn't really care if people live moral lives, as long as they never truly give their allegiance to God. This is why we must allow God to lead us into repentance from the rebellion that is in all of us.

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?

Timeless Truths: The greatest threat to the church of the Last Days is not the antichrist, but rather the spirit of antichrist that is already powerfully at work in the world.

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.

From the Chapel: If we're living in a way that opposes God and His will, we cannot have genuine fellowship with Him. This means that we all must be willing for God to point out grievous ways inside of us. Once He does, we must return to Him, asking for forgiveness and mercy.

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. The authority of Yahweh, or the spirit of lawlessness?

In the midst of trials, we need a place to turn to for comfort, help and answers. And when we turn to the Word of God, we find a source of eternal truth. But more than that, we find something that can go inside of us and make us into new creations. In Episode 8 of the Hope for Hurting Wives series, Kathy Gallagher talks about the incredible power of the Word of God, and why hurting wives should cherish it as their very life.   Resources we mentioned: Hope for Hurting Wives (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries
