What is Purity? by Keith Cook
News Event: On The Go Festival - Battle Mountain, Nevada 10:00-2:30 today. Pray for mighty move of God across this city!
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8
As Christians we have a higher call on our lives. At the time we give our lives to Christ that escalates us to a level different from that of non-Christians. The world is watching Christians and we often fail them. Some of us daily!
We are called to live our lives as an expression of Christ's life. If we as Christians do not live our lives as a testimony and example, how then should we expect others to want a relationship with Christ.
A large problem with our society is the fact that they do not live pure lives. Contrary to popular belief there are consequences for our actions today. So we are faced with the question, "What is Christian purity?
The Bible lays out many guidelines for Christians. However, we must individually live pure. That means at times we're going to have to make a conscious decision to live out our purity. At times it may be very hard.
Peer Pressure is not something that you only face as a teenager. All throughout life people will contribute to your decision making process in a negative or positive way.
There is no better time than today to make a commitment for purity in your life. Not just sexual purity but Christian purity. Living your life in purity is the best testimony you could ever have.
1) What are some requirements concerning purity that your culture has imposed on you?
2) What are some of your Christian requirements/standards concerning purity?
Personal Prayer Focus: Pray that God will guard your heart as you to live out your Christian faith based on personal convictions and the truth from God's Word.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Continue to pray for our On The Go Festival and GoTeam in Battle Mountain. Pray for favor, opportunity, decisions and God's will to be done. Pray that the team will finish well. Praise God for lives changed this week. God is working mightily in many hearts and lives.
