Say Hello to Guy #3
Posted by purityfullyclothed on January 16, 2008
Q: How long have you been a Christian?
A: 1 ½ years
Q: Are you a virgin?
A: no
Q: Define purity or what it means to you.
A: Purity is living separate from world and abstaining from sexual things and other sins.
Q: How important is purity in the opposite sex?
A: Very important. As Christians guy should be pure, and be looking for the same thing in a girl.
Q: Is purity a priority in your life?
A: Yeah. I make sure I avoid things I shouldn’t be around, like I have accountability program on my computer.
Q: How does our society view purity?
A: Very low. People don’t care, whether they’re Christians or non Christians. Even if Christians say they do care about purity, their lives show that they really don’t.
Q: Why do you think God has called us to be pure?
A: Well, everything that’s impure is related to sin so we need to be separate from the world and pick up our cross. The hardest things to keep away from violate our purity so if we stay away from them, we show our commitment to God.

I’ve been reading a number of the blogs you have here and I love what I’m reading. Thanks for standing for purity!
I like what Guy #3 said here about having an accountability program on his computer. I wish more guys could say this about the importance of purity in their lives.
Pornography is a deadly trap for people, men especially. It drastically rewires a man’s brain in such a way that will affect his beliefs and ways he responds to women. It is so critical that men receive the help they need in this. Sisters in Christ, thank you for standing by and praying for the men around you as they fight this temptation!
