Consider This...

Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. (Ephesians 5:3, 4 NLT)

There are things that God says should never be found among His people, but are prevalent in too many churches today. God is looking for a pure people that desire to live distinctly different kinds of lives from the world around them. Don't accept the lie that moral impurity is just an unavoidable reality in this culture or that God doesn't care about these matters any more. Remember, Jesus said, "God blesses those whose hearts are pure..." (Matthew 5:8)
