Purity in an impure world (PART 1 of 3) 06/02/2012
A comparison of purity and impurity as seen through the eyes of a wise woman of God vs. a wild chick of the world. So Ladies let’s face it, sex and impurity is everywhere and it can often be a struggle to remain pure of heart, mind, body and spirit when the advert for your perfume is a guy and woman almost getting it on in the TV advert or the latest hair dye has an over attractive woman flicking her hair to and fro with not much clothes on…and this is just to sell hair dye. You hear kids talking about it on the bus; it is on billboards, on the radio, magazines, if you mistype a website address you get pulled into it. Sex and impurity is all over the TV and at work, school or college. Impure teasers of sex are everywhere ….aaaaarghhhhhhh. Any intimacy, sexual contact before marriage is against Gods will for you ladies. God wants you to “honour marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex.” Hebrews 13:4 (Message version). So how do you remain a wise woman of God and not fall into the trap of the wild chick of the world even with all of these tricks of Satan to trap us into sin? 1) What is sexual purity and impurity? Purity is like a bag full of precious diamonds (because you know diamonds are a girl’s best friend right?), let’s say you get a bag full of 100 precious diamonds when you are born. This bag of diamonds represents purity and the onus is on you to keep this bag closed and not spill or lose or share any diamonds until your wedding night if you are blessed with a husband or keep the diamonds protected until that special day when you meet your eternal husband Jesus Christ. Wild worldly chicks say purity is... Just a bag of diamonds that are for everyone to see and share how beautiful they are. The only thing that is pure in this ladies life are the gold necklace and matching earrings she rocks. The wild world chick says I am going to be wearing these beautiful gems all day everyday and giving away, a couple of diamonds to the next cutest guy because maybe, he just maybe the one right? Wrong, and for that cheap trick Wild Worldly chick you lose five diamonds (one for the lustful thoughts, one for the kiss, 1 for the touch and 2 because you listened to your ex-boyfriend when he suggested the “let’s get closer night”). To the wild world chick it is nothing when “she threw her arms around him and kissed…” Proverbs 7:13 because every one of her friends are doing it, she always kissed her last boyfriend and you cannot even sit on the train without a couple smooching away. To add further the wild world chick sees nothing in having her life full of some or all of the sins listed in Galatians 5:19“sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery…” The wildly worldly chick sees it as fashionable to be like the ladies on the music videos who have nothing on but a piece of string to cover their assets and a big smile and an even bigger weave, that is her aim because she sees this as her role model for how a woman must behave and conduct herself sexually. The wild worldly chick does not understand that flaunting her sexuality, and also the kissing, touching and any sexual contact with her boyfriend is not good or best for her even if everyone else is doing it. The wild worldly chick does not know, understand or accept that it is actually sinful. It is highlighted in 1 Corinthians 6:9 “…those who use and abuse each other , use and abuse sex, use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don’t qualify as citizens in God’s kingdom.” The wild worldly chick does not know, understand, or want to believe that she is a slave to sin as John 8:34 outlines that “everyone who sins is slave to sin.”The wild worldly chick has no way of getting a refund on these diamonds. Wise women say purity is... A wise woman who is living according to the word of God has a way of getting a refund on the fallen diamonds…it is through God’s grace and mercy for the forgiveness of her sins and repenting by turning away from the life of impurity and sexual sin. The wise woman is not spilling the diamonds and then constantly asking for a refund or being so prideful and not asking for a refund like some wild chicks of the world, no! The wise woman understands how precious this bag of diamonds is because it points out in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 that “it is God’s will that you should be sanctified that you should avoid sexual immorality: that each of you should learn how to control his own body.” In the past before she knew God, the wise woman may have spilled a whole load of diamonds, but she has put that life totally behind her now she has a new man on the scene…he is incredible… God. So the wise woman unlike the wild chick has a different focus when she is asked on a date by a brother. The wild worldly chick is checking him out physically, wondering if he looks strong, what he can do for her and how this can be the best night of her life. The wise woman has a different focus she is looking to get to know the brother’s heart, find out what are his interests, how does he want to serve God, and what are his dreams in life. The wise woman is truly living out Colossian 3:5 where it states “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature; sexual immorality, impurity, lust…” The wise woman knows that even though there are loads of good looking men out there and that he may look nice and strong, but she knows that men of the world may be strong enough to take her to hell, and that’s is a place she is not interested in visiting. The wise woman knows that her diamond bag is a gift from God to be shared between her and her husband if she is blessed with one in the future.
