God is good, which means that He wants nothing less than the best for us. But it also means that He won't be satisfied until we are fully mature men and women of God. That's what we'll look at in this Timeless Truths segment.

The incredible truth about God's love is that it is unconditional. This is incredibly liberating for some, and it sets them free from striving to earn God's favor. But many others use this reality as a license to continue their perilous descent into the depths of sin. Thanks for joining us for the third episode in our series 10 Half-Truths that Keep Us Addicted to Porn, as we dissect the statement, "God loves me just the way I am."

In this Timeless Truths segment: God is more than willing to set us free, but we've got do things His way. We have to allow Him to continually search our hearts and show us what displeases Him. Then, all we need to do is take the path of repentance.

Jesus promised us that the truth would set us free. He made no such promises about half-truths. In this episode, Nate Danser examines Scripture to find out why “I can’t get free unless God chooses to set me free” is a half-truth with no power to deliver people from porn addiction. And, one of our residential counselors will talk about how that very half-truth crippled his efforts to break free from pornography. And of course, we’ll look at the full truth that has power to set anyone free!

Anyone who justifies a porn habit is on very dangerous ground. In this week's Timeless Truths segment, we'll look at what the Bible says happens when we allow a pattern of sin to remain in our lives.

Our mission at Pure Life Ministries is simple. Show men and women why they're addicted to porn and then show them the way out. One of the reasons multitudes are addicted is because they’ve been deceived by half-truths. In 10 Half-Truths that Keep Us Addicted to Porn, we’ll look at deceptions that keep people in bondage to sin, but more importantly, we’ll use God’s Word to reveal the powerful truths that will set them free.

In this Timeless Truths segment: When we're unwilling to confess our sins, our hearts grow hard and calloused. But when we humbly confess our sins to God and a trusted spiritual leader, the power of the enemy will be broken off of our lives.

When we sin, our first instinct is to cover it up so that we avoid any painful consequences. But God’s Word tells us that whoever conceals his sin will not prosper, and whoever confesses and forsakes them will find mercy. In other words, the worst thing we can do is keep our sin hidden. If we want to prosper, we have to live a transparent life.

In this From the Chapel segment: Tyler hoped that marriage would cure his life-long porn addiction. But marriage couldn't fix him. What he really needed was a radical transformation of his heart.

Sexual intimacy can be really complicated, especially for those who are dealing with the aftermath of sexual sin. In today’s episode, Jeff and Rose Colón talk about the biblical principles that will transform the marriage bed from a place of awkwardness, fear, and lust into a place of deep intimacy, trust and purity.   Resources we mentioned: Intended for Pleasure (Book) By Ed Wheat, M.D. Ashes to Beauty (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries
