Purity

In the world that we live in the word "purity" is scarcely heard and observed less. But, regardless, I still believe in "keep thyself pure", as the Bible says. To me this incorporates a lot. Because purity begins in the heart and mind, it is important what we allow in.
As followers of the Lord Jesus, we are to be careful what we fill our minds with. We teach our children, here, by the example that we set. This includes the television shows that we watch, the music we listen to, the books we read, and access to the world wide web. (Note: parental controls work great!)
The Bible tells us in 1John 3:3 "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." God is pure and holy. Jesus is pure and holy. If we want to be like Him, purity and holiness is NOT an option.
