PURITY

THE IVORY soap commercial says that the product is 99.7 percent pure. It has no additives, impurities, fragrances, or colors. Other soaps may look better or smell better, but Ivory distinguishes itself by its purity.

In the same way, God wants His singles to boast about and distinguish themselves by their purity.738

1 Cor. 6:18; Eph. 5:3; Heb. 13:4

MANY people are only interested in organic food now. They don’t eat other stuff because it’s been sprayed with pesticides. Nowadays, doctors and the media alike are telling us that the traditional way our food is grown, in an attempt to grow it quickly and protect it from damage, is resulting in an accumulation of pesticides and contaminates to consumers.

There are markets now like Whole Foods where it is possible to buy food that has not been so contaminated by man—that has been not touched and contaminated by man.

Man has been spraying pesticides on vegetables and fruits for years in an attempt to fix a problem. But he has only created a new problem. The pesticides are full of chemicals that when introduced to the human body are very damaging. If man would just leave it alone and let God do His thing, all of a sudden things are healthy because man’s not messing it up.

When we’ve allowed man to spray the pesticide of this world on our souls, then we wonder why the hearts don’t work right. But if we’ll go back to God and stop being double minded, we’ll find out that God knows what He’s doing.

How did people eat before we started spraying all of this stuff? God knew what He was doing before and He knows what He’s doing now. All we have to do is allow Him to do His thing and stop trying to contaminate what He’s in the business of perfecting.739
