When we surrender to God, He takes a personal and intimate interest in our lives. Because lawlessness still lingers in our fallen nature, He lovingly disciplines us—not to harm us, but to draw our wills into closer alignment with His beautiful will. As we yield to that process, we discover more and more of the peace and fulfillment that come from living under His authority.

As we earnestly seek to be like Christ, we may get discouraged when we see how unlike Him we still are. In this "From the Chapel" segment, Josh Rowand testifies that as we fix our eyes on Him and simply obey Him, He is faithful to make us more and more like Him.

As we’ve seen throughout this series, a spirit of lawlessness has infiltrated much of the church. But scattered across this world are those who have rejected lawlessness and submitted themselves to God. In this episode, we’re looking at two character qualities that exist in every true believer: submission to God and faithfulness in the midst of life's trials.

It's nearly unthinkable that a pastor would come right out and say, “It’s all grace—live however you want, and you certainly don’t have to obey God!” But what if sermons are being preached every week across America that imply exactly that? Today, we’ll talk about the doctrine that has quietly created an atmosphere of lawlessness inside the church.

In this Timeless Truths segment, Jeff and Rose Colón explain that broken marriages will only experience true restoration when both the husband and the wife learn to walk in true repentance and humility toward each other.

Jesus prophesied that on Judgment Day many would say to Him, “Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy, and preach, and cast out devils in your name? And to their shock, He will respond, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work lawlessness.” In Ep. 07 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness" we'll face the uncomfortable reality that many in the Church are actually in the same spirit of lawlessness as the godless world around them.

There’s an old adage that goes like this: If you think you can’t be deceived, you’re already half-way there. With the antichrist spirit rising in our world, we must vigilantly guard our hearts with the truth of God’s Word and submission to God's authority.

There is a great controversy raging within Christianity in our day. The question is: what relationship does faith have with righteousness? Of course, our concern is not with the technicalities of the debate. Our concern is whether people are being deceived into thinking that saving faith has nothing to do with the way they live their life. This is Ep. 06 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness."

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.
