The purpose of The Power of Purity Podcast concerns the topic of human sexuality.

What does it mean for us to experience and practice our sexual gift in a healthy way?

What does it mean for us to practice our sexual gift in a way that's honoring to God?

The answer to these questions, at least in part, concerns the context of relationship.

The reason for this is because our sexual gift is intended to be expressed and experienced within the context of a healthy relationship.  

Said another way, it's a healthy relationship that creates the context for healthy sexuality, and because of that we need to do everything we can do to make our relationship as healthy as it can possibly be.

In this series Tony shares the single most important principal necessary for successful relationship.  This principle is so important that it's absolutely non-negotiable.  If people do not understand this principle, and submit to this principle, and practice this principle, and cooperate with this principle, their ability to experience successful relationship will be seriously hindered, compromised, and sabotaged.

In the same way a roofer must understand the reality of gravity, and function within the parameters of that reality, people in relationship must understand this non-negotiable relational principle.  If a roofer violates the reality of gravity, he can be seriously harmed for such a violation, because he might fall off a roof and be seriously injured.  And in much the same way, if people in relationship violate the non-negotiable relational principle that Tony's discusses in this series, their relationship will likely be seriously harmed.

The content of this series can be a steppingstone toward healthier relationship, and healthier relationship can be a steppingstone toward healthier sex.

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  Matthew 22:37-40

Kris Bishop is a good man with a good heart.

Although Kris became a Christian when he was a child, and he had a calling on his life to go into the ministry, and he preached his first sermon when he was in eight grade, he struggled deeply with an addiction to pornography for many years.

Kris thought that when he got married his problem with pornography would finally go away, but that didn't happen, and in fact his struggle with porn followed him into his marriage.

His wife, Jamie, caught him acting out many different times over the years, and each time her heart was deeply broken.  Over the years that followed she became more and more discouraged at Kris's inability to change.  Jamie struggled deeply with thoughts  and feelings that something must be wrong with her because of her husband's problem with porn.  The marriage slowly became defined by distance and disconnection, and Jamie eventually became involved in an affair with another man.  When Kris finally learned of this affair, Jamie decided to leave him, and when she left it was the WAKE UP call that finally captured Kris's attention.  He knew he had to change, or his marriage and family would be destroyed forever.

This began the healing journey that Kris & Jamie have now been walking on for over the past 10 years.  Their story is remarkable, and Kris has had an amazing level of success in his walk of purity for over 10 years now.

Listen to this amazing story and be blessed.

God is the one who invented sex.

It was his idea.

He's the one who thought of it... and created it!

God is the one who conceived the idea that both the man and the woman together would reflect the image of God.

He created them male and female.

He created the male penis... and the female vagina and clitoris.

He created testosterone and estrogen.

He created the penis with the ability to get an erection... and the vagina with the ability to lubricate.

He invented the sperm... and the egg.

And he placed 4,000 nerve endings at the tip of the penis... and 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris.

God's idea was amazing and brilliant!

And since God is the one who invented sex... God also has an opinion about sex.

The manufacturer of a product is always the one who knows best how that product should and should not be used... because he's the one who conceived of the product... and designed the product.

In view of this... God knows best how sex should and should not be used by human beings... and God has revealed his heart... mind... and will concerning sex to us in the instruction book he's given us... the Holy Bible!

In this series Tony shares 4 important principles that help us to understand God's opinion about sex.

The Moment of Temptation!

As Christians we're called to do many things that are very hard to do... if not impossible.  Things like...

• Forgiving others

• Forgiving ourselves

• Turning the other cheek

• Loving your enemies

• Esteeming others higher than myself

• Sacrificially serving

• Trusting God when I don’t understand

• Being non-judgmental

• Walking the narrow path

• Resisting the urges and passions of the flesh... and being a man of sexual purity!

In the same way an appliance has to be plugged in before it can "work"... the Christian has to be plugged into the Holy Spirit... the divine "power source"... in order to be the person God is calling them to be.

If we're ever going to be men of purity... and if we're ever going to manage the urges and passions of the flesh... we absoulutely must have the power of the Holy Spirit.

It's non-negotiable.

In this series Tony shares 3 amazing things that Jesus said about the Holy Spirit... and then 5 practical principles on how to "plug in"... and translate Holy Ghost power into our lives.

In this episode Tony shares Priniciple 5 of Holy Ghost Power!

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.  Acts 1:8
