Help! I Want to Stay Pure

Do you feel like battling lust is like trying to stop a tidal wave from crashing down on you? The truth is, even as a teenager, you can resist the temptation to lust. The battle for purity is a battle of faith, believing that God is more satisfying than any pleasure sexual lust gives. The Bible gives us hope-filled instruction about how to stay pure.

Our enemy is defeated; his power is broken; his reign has ended. In Jesus, sin is no longer our master!... Praise God, the power of the gospel is not simply for salvation. Jesus continues to deliver his people day after day.

The teen years are pivotal years in which young people seek to clarify their identity and determine the convictions, goals, and truths that will shape their lives. Addressing a range of topics that relate directly to the challenges they are facing, the LifeLine for Teens mini-books provide biblical wisdom to shepherd the hearts of teens. Simple, without being shallow. Succinct, yet full of truth—pointing teens to biblical hope and gospel encouragements. While teens are the target, these mini-books also prove helpful for anyone who desires to understand and minister more effectively to the next generation.

— Dr. Tedd Tripp

The LifeLine mini-books have a long history of biblical faithfulness while clearly explaining how the Scriptures apply to life’s struggles. It is wonderful that this series is now expanding to address issues that teens face. We all know that the issues being faced by today’s teens, their parents and disciplers are very challenging. I’m thankful that these booklets will address the current issues not only with biblical faithfulness but clear biblical, practical application.

“Unlike the many counseling resources we can find for adults, there are few directly relatable to teens and the issues they face. These mini-books bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.”
