Purity Culture says you are only pure if you are a virgin.

God says only He can purify us from our sins through His love.

Purity Culture says if you have sex before marriage, you are like “chewed gum”.  Who would want you after that?

God says if you have sex before marriage, yes you made a mistake: but He is there to pick you back up to try again.

Purity culture focuses on the importance of virginity to show how much you “love” your future spouse.

God focuses on your unchangeable worth as a human being, lovingly made in His Image, and to share that reality both body and soul with your future spouse.

Purity Culture breeds women who fear sex as something dirty and wrong and expects them to change that thought overnight in time for their wedding.

God raises up women AND men who love Him so much, they are willing to follow all His laws.  And should they have fear, to look to Him for guidance and peace.

Purity culture is a man-made and flawed institution that distorts the gift of sexuality, making it something to control, push aside, and fear.

God is our Creator who designed us, and wants us to use the gift of sexuality with great love and chastity, whatever His plans for us are.

“We are the not sum of our weaknesses and failures: we are the sum of the Father’s love for us.”
