Once upon a time

What does it really mean to maintain a standard of purity?

As I look out my window this morning, the playground was full of young teens and youth. There is a mentorship program right next to my house that meets on Sundays. Today, as I looked out, I observed a scene where two youth were playing in the grass and exchanged kisses. They were young, and I was stunned at the way that they embraced especially knowing that they came from that youth mentorship. They kissed without any shame, without a care that they were outdoors in public. A young girl nearby began to fight with this bigger guy... another guy pulled her away by putting his hand around her waist.

Some good friends (Christian friends at that)think that kissing a girl means that they are only good friends exploring their options of something more serious.

What is our world coming to? I had a great conversation with my mother today about purity. She was concerned about the seeming lack of holiness and protection that we are now living with.

What fashionable clothing do you wear that is causing men to sin? My friends,

The Bible says that a man who looks at a women and lusts after her has already committed the sin in his heart?

What are we doing? Isn't the church supposed to set an example for the unbelievers in speech, dress?

Thats what I read in my Bible.
