Do These 3 Things

If you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, Paul charges you to 'walk in a manner worthy of God.' (1 Thessalonians 2:12)
What does that look like? What does it mean?
In this episode, I point to three imperatives for every man who wants to live a significant life for Christ...for the man tired of his addiction to and masturbation...for the man who desires to walk in a manner worthy of God.

It’s Time For You To Get Serious

There is a Psalm I love that says: "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." Psalms 90:12
Numbering our days is just a way of remembering that life is short and we're not guaranteed tomorrow.
John Piper says great wisdom...life-revolutionizing wisdom...comes from thinking about these things from time to time.
I like to think of the end of a year like the end of a lifetime.
As I look back on 2021, I can ask questions like...
Did I live this year well?
What needs to change?
How do those I care about most feel about how I spent 2021?
Don't waste 2022 on resolutions that are promised today and forgotten tomorrow. Spend time thinking and praying deeply for a life-changing 2022. One in which you finally become serious about killing this sin in your life.
In this episode, we explore 1 Thessalonians 1 and Paul's encouragement to the church at the gospel-centered change that had taken place in their lives. There are lessons for us all over these first several verses. Be encouraged...God is greater and more powerful than your problem with . But it requires you to become deadly serious about transformation.

Make This Your Daily Priority

Galatians 5:17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
“Sin is always acting, always conceiving, always seducing and tempting.
Who can say that he had ever anything to do with God or for God, that indwelling sin had not corrupted what he did?
Do you kill sin?
Do you make it your daily work?
Be always at it while you live;cease not a day from this work;be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
John Owen

Should You Tell Your Wife About Your Addiction?

This is a tough question for most men. In this episode, I'll help you think through this important issue.
Hebrews 11:23-29
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.
