Welcome to BiblicalPurity.com.  Our world is inundated with sexual messages, and many of us have struggled with the impact of pornography, adultery, and behaviors that we are ashamed of.  The goal of purity can seem like a quaint dream.  But although technology has made pornography more accessible than ever before, the human tendency to sexual immorality is nothing new.  The Bible actually has a lot to say about sexuality, sin, and purity.  So this site is dedicated to providing information about a Biblical view of purity.  There are two things you can find here:
  1.  An annotated list of online resources
  2.  A series of devotionals about Biblical passages that deal with sexuality and purity, organized by books of the Bible. 
I am a Christian who has struggled for years with pornography and lust.  About 10 years ago God led me to start reading the Bible from cover to cover, journaling about the passages that deal with sex, sexual immorality, and recovery.  I ended up finding over 500 passages in the Bible, in every book of the Bible, that were applicable.  This process of study and prayer was beneficial to my own healing and faith, so I decided to take my notes and put them on the web, in the hope of benefiting others.

I must confess to some trepidation about doing this website, as it does not mean that I am now perfect and never struggle anymore.  There is good news and bad news:  the bad news is that there is no magic bullet to fix all our problems; the good news is that the struggles in our journey of recovery can point us to the God who is bigger than our problems, who is the Good News.  Also, although this process was helpful to me, it was by no means the only thing I have done to deal with my problem.  Studying the Bible is a vital part of healing, but we also need helps like accountability partners.

As a disclaimer, I want to say that I am a layperson, not a Hebrew-reading Bible scholar, so please don't take my thoughts as the last word on a passage, but study it for yourself.  All Bible quotations are taken from the English Standard Version.
