Dear Friend,
As you well know, lawlessness is unfolding all around us at an alarming pace. It’s clear that, as a nation, we have cast off the authority of God and chosen instead to walk in open rebellion against Him. But what troubles me even more is seeing that same spirit of lawlessness infiltrating the Church. When I look at the skyrocketing statistics of pornography use among professing Christians—and when I hear of one moral failure after another, one scandal after scandal, sweeping through churches and Christian organizations across the country—it’s evident that the Church is in serious danger. In far too many ways, she has already fallen under the influence of the very spirit of lawlessness that will one day culminate in the reign of Antichrist.
In light of this growing crisis, I recently completed filming a new series of teachings for our latest podcast series, Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness. This series was born out of a deep burden to awaken believers to the alarming spread of lawlessness in our day. It is absolutely critical that each of us examine our hearts before the Lord and come to grips with what His Word says about escaping the grip of a rebellious spirit. Can we stand firm in this lawless age? Absolutely! If only we humble ourselves and embrace a lifestyle of wholehearted submission to God’s authority.
Perhaps you’ve already been following this series on the Pure Life Ministries Podcast or on our YouTube channel. If so, we hope and pray that it has already been a tremendous blessing to you. If not, we would warmly encourage you to check it out. We believe it speaks directly to the spiritual crisis of our time.
In connection with this important resource, we’d also like to make you aware of a pressing need here at Pure Life Ministries.
Our administrative building—affectionately referred to as School Street—is a beehive of activity Monday through Friday. This aging facility houses our entire administrative staff, including those who oversee finances, human resources, donor relations, events, and ministry outreach. It also stores tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of books and Bible study materials, and is home to our three audio and video studios—essential for producing podcast episodes, sermons, and other digital ministry content.
Needless to say, this building plays a vital role in helping us accomplish our mission.
Recently, however, we discovered that the building is in need of significant repair. One of the most urgent needs is the front façade of the building, which has been slowly sinking and cracking over the past few years. After months of planning, we have decided to remove the entire concrete deck and brick façade and replace them with a durable, low-maintenance composite alternative. Additionally, approximately 10% of the brick exterior requires repair to protect the integrity of the structure.
The estimated cost for these repairs exceeds $225,000.
