Abstinence
Ephesians 5:3-"But among you there must be not even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people."
We are committed to living purely by saving sex for marriage and making sure there is "not even a hint" of sexual immorality among us. It's not about, "How far can I go and still technically be a virgin?" but "How close can I get to God's standard of absolute purity?" We may or may not actually be virgins, but all of us have made the commitment to save sex for marriage from here on out, realizing that God offers full and complete forgiveness for past mistakes if we will just ask Him (I John 1:9).
Modesty
I Timothy 2:9-10-"...Women adorn themselves in modest apparel with propriety and moderation...which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works."
We have chosen to dress modestly because we realize it affects how we represent Christ and the thoughts of guys around us. It's possible to dress stylishly while being modest, although it is hard sometimes. We don't believe that modesty means you have to wear dresses down to your ankles or collars up to your neck- you CAN be stylish- but as Christians, it's important to be very careful to make sure our clothes don't cause our brothers in Christ to stumble.

Candace is 26 and lives in Colorado. The founder of PurityPeople.com, while not perfect, she thanks God for protecting her purity all these years and still hopes her first kiss will be on her wedding day (or at least engagement). She enjoys hiking, singing, ballroom dancing, hip hop dance, and worshipping her Savior. You can often find her checking her Facebook mini-feed, ROFLOL to Kenan & Kel re-runs, and Snorkie crooning (that's baby-talking to her schnauzer-yorkie mix for those of you who might be lost). Speaking of LOST, she's a diehard fan of that among other shows from this century. | |
