When I ask, "Are you still pure?", what are you thinking about? For many, especially those who grew up in the church, the concept of purity is strongly tied to sexual behavior. The Purity Culture movement of the 90s and 2000s strongly called young people to abstain from sex until they were married in order to remain pure. But is this what Jesus is envisioning when he blesses those who are pure in heart in the Beatitudes? In this teaching we discuss the dark side of Purity Culture and discover a God who both raises the bar on purity and graciously provides a way for us to become pure apart from our behavior! No matter what you've done or what's been done to you, Jesus cares for you and invites you to come to him for healing and hope.
