The Purity Project is being organized to
assist people inside the church in their struggle with sin
by encouraging them to develop a deep love for Jesus Christ and
a relentless pursuit of
holiness.
The goal is to
develop a constant teaching curriculum in the local church on
purity and assisting the body of Christ to recognize their
sin and seek restoration to God and family through the
confession of sin, Biblical discipleship, accountability and a
loving environment to grow in grace and
knowledge.
Our emphasis initially will be warring against sexual
immorality due to the affects of pornography in the
church.
Inside the church are many who live in habitual
sin. All sin
is a form of idolatry. God tells us “You shall
have no other gods before me”. Any sin we
struggle with, fight with, succumb to regularly is an
idol. We as men and
women cannot be salt and light to the world if we are
bogged down in sexual sin. Pornography is
devastating the body of Christ and it is the
400 pound gorilla in the room. The stats are
overwhelming according to a Barna poll that 68% of
evangelical men are involved in pornography demonstrating
we (Christians) are struggling with this and other sexual
sin and we are too afraid to bring it into the
light. We
need to prepare people enslaved to sin to recognize the
strength of Jesus Christ to bring their sin into the
light and the affected spouses (or persons) to rely on
that same strength to give forgiveness just as Christ
forgave each of us.
Hebrews 10:22-23 (NIV)
22 let us draw near
to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty
conscience and having our bodies washed with
pure water. 23 Let us hold
unswervingly to the hope we profess, for
he who promised is faithful.
