A Call To Purity

I remember back in the 1980s our radio station staff watched some videos about leadership by Dr. John Maxwell. I was struck by his engaging style and approachability, and some of those lessons are still with me. What fun to watch and learn from him!
While Dr. Maxwell has been heard on the Focus broadcast a number of times, his call to purity in this message is perhaps the most memorable and powerful of his messages. The intensity with which he addresses the subject of men keeping themselves unstained by the world and sexual temptation is just about over-the-top! I love the manner in which he finishes this address, fueled by the enthusiasm and response of the 60,000 men assembled at that Indianapolis stadium.
I am challenged once more by Dr. Maxwell to live the life God intends for me, not to accept any substitutes and to choose life in Christ over any temporal temptation.
If you want to heed his call check out Dr. Maxwell’s “accountability questions.”
