Moral Purity

We will engage in those activities which glorify God in our body and which avoid the fulfillment of lust of the flesh. We will read, watch and listen to those things which are of positive benefit to our spiritual well-being.

A. Glorify God in Our Body

Our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and we are to glorify God in our body. We are to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Examples of fleshly behavior which do not glorify God are noted in several passages of Scripture: Romans 1:24, 1 Corinthians 6:9 – 10, Galatians 5:19-21, Revelation 21:8. Sinful practices which are made prominent and condemned in these scriptures include: homosexuality, adultery, worldly attitudes (such as hatred, envy, jealousy), currupt communication (such as gossip, angry outbursts, filthy words), stealing, murder, drunkeness and witchcraft. Witchcraft has to do with the practices of the occult, which are forbidden by God and lead to the worship of Satan.

B. Reading, Watching and Listening

The literature we read, the programs we watch and the music we listen to profoundly affect the way we feel, think and behave. It is imperitive, then, that the Christian read, watch and listen to those things which inspire, instruct, and challenge to a higher plane of living. Therefore, literature, programs and music which are worldly in content or pornographic in nature must be avoided. A Christian is not to attend (or watch on television) movies or theatrical performances of a demoralizing nature (Romans 13:14, Phillipians 4:8).

C. Benefiting Spiritual Well-Being

The use of leisure time in the life of a Christian should be characterized by those activities which edify both the individual and the body of Christ.
