Purity

Being pure involves our thoughts, actions and communication to others. We ought to guard what we allow to influence our life. So ask yourself why do you do what you do? Why do you watch certain TV shows? Read magazines? Watch certain movies? Are those things pure according to God's Word? Do they follow the pattern of Philippians 4:8? "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (ESV) Be careful to guard your heart and purify your mind with God's Word. Being pure also applies to your sexual purity. Ephesians 5:1-4 is a great passage to study on the subject of purity. We pray God will help you as you seek to be pure in your thoughts, actions and words.
