Purify Your Mind Series (Part 2) by Joe Kirbyنمونہ

How Can a Young Man Stay Pure?

To quote D.L. Moody, “This book [the Bible] will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this book" (Moody, Notes From My Bible: From Genesis To Revelation). The simplest answer to how to overcome sexual sin is not accountability software, biblical counseling, or even soliciting the prayers of godly people—though these are all wonderful and super-important in this battle. But the greatest thing a young man or woman can do to fight this sin is to get disciplined and spend quality time in the Word of God every day.

Discipline is hard, but if something is valuable to you, you’ll find the discipline to make it happen. What would you do if I gave you $1,000 every week to memorize one of these verses on purity? I guarantee that in a year, you would be $52k richer! You may say, “Not me, Joe! My memory is like a sieve.” Well, the Bible is described as water because it cleanses, so even if the verses don’t stick, you will have a clean sieve by the end of the year! You may think I’m joking, but the Holy Spirit will bring these verses to mind at just the right time, and just the very action of reading the Word of God purifies our hearts and minds.
