imPURE

Purity isn't just a male issue. It's a human issue. We all struggle with impurity at one level or another, whether we're young, old, married, single, male, or female.

As you may know, TFC is holding a purity seminar on Saturday, April 24, from 9-3. We wanted to take the next couple of weeks to speak to purity, and to encourage you to attend the seminar. Topics include:

1. bePURE: Inward grace, outward honor - where our hearts should lead if our lives are to follow (Tim Shorey)

2. nowPURE: Old sin, new grace - how to turn things around (Steve Cassarino)

3. imPURE: In the world but not of the world - making sex small and God big in our media habits (Tim Bowditch)

4. Breakout sessions

a) PURE (married couples): Sex is a good - questions and answers about sex, marriage, and the world (pastoral staff)
b) stayPURE (singles): Don't waste your singleness - encouragement and practical advise for singles (adults w/ TW Shorey; teens Q & A w/ Brian Solik)

5. i'mPURE: Sex, Hope, and the Gospel - Grace that is greater than all our sins

Our RMMR reading plan brought us to Romans 8 today. Consider this from the ESV Study Bible footnotes regarding Romans 8:13:

God and believers each have a role in sanctification: it must be by the Spirit and His power, but you put to death shows that one must take an active role in battling sinful habits.

As you can see from the topics list, we're planning to cover both of these aspects.

Trust me, you don't want to miss this.
