Purity Rings

As children of God, we are all called to lead a pure lifestyle. But what if we slipped? What if we did something we regret, something that makes us feel saddened or ashamed. The bible makes it clear that we are to live a lifestyle of purity. True love waits. And while you're waiting for your true love, keep your heart, thoughts and words pure as well. It's convicting and humbling when we realize that purity doesn't stop when we say "I do." We are all called to live pure lifestyles, with pure hearts and pure thoughts. We are all works in progress!

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." Philippians 4:8

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." Proverbs 4:23-27

"Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God." 2 Corinthians 7:1

"O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the does of the field, do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases." Song of Solomon 2:7

"Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." 2 Timothy 2:22

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." Ephesians 5:1-3

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." 1 Cor. 10:13

I'm glad I'm not a teenager anymore. Things were hard enough for me-I had enough problems without cell phones, internet and "sexting". When you're 17, you feel invincible. Life is good, it's just getting started. Your friends and social life are motivating factors in all your decisions. I know; I remember all too well those feelings. I remember living somewhat recklessly; not realizing my decisions of my youth would greatly impact the rest of my life. I always thought after those reckless nights, "Someday I'll go to church." "Someday I'll get married and have kids." Well, by the grace of God I did "find Jesus" (as my old friends teased-but actually Jesus found me). And I did get married, and have 3 beautiful children. But the times of my past, even though I know I am forgiven, often creep into my mind.

I remember working with a beautiful girl who made a bad decision one night. She drank too much and agreed to do one of those "Girls Gone Wild" video. That video has made her life tremendously difficult. I remember talking to her about the pain it caused her-her family, friends, the gossip, the shame%u2026..She tried to let it go, get on with her life, but because it was caputured on video, the nightmare perpetuated for her year after year; and I believe it probably still does to this day.

The decisions we make as teenagers affect us for the rest of our lives. When you are faced with these decisions, I pray you will stop and think.

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." Philippians 4:8

For those of us who have already made bad choices, remember that their is forgiveness in Christ. His love and mercy flow freely to all who believe in Him%u2026

Halloween was right around the corner and I knew exactly was I wanted to be. I had been thinking about it for months now, and no idea had sounded better to my mom and me than being a Jonas brother for Halloween. These guys are the coolest. They play instruments like no other. They have great singing voices, and they are guys you can really look up to. Before I went out to by the things I needed for my costume, I had to do research on the Jonas brothers. I studied different sites and learned everything I could about them. My research was extensive. I surfed the web for hours learning everything I could about the J bros. They're style is always cool. Their haircuts, always sleek. These were things I would need to emulate perfectly if was to be a Jonas brother for Halloween.

As I was finishing up on my research I came across an article about the Jonas brothers and their purity rings. The Jonas brothers have all made a promise to God that they will save themselves until marriage. As a sign to their commitment, the bros all wear purity rings. Purity rings are awesome pieces of jewelry that signify ones faith in God and commitment to leading a pure life. They come in designs for both males and females. The Jonas brothers obviously wear the ones made for guys. They look sweet! I obviously had to get one of these to complete my look. I went online and found the perfect ring for me at Cornerstone Jewelry Designs. I was so excited when the ring came in the mail. I knew it was the piece that would set me apart from the other J bro impersonators out there on Halloween night.

Halloween night finally arrived and my Jonas Brother outfit was a huge success. So many people loved it! I had such a great time; my mom even let me eat some of the safe looking candy before I went to sleep that night! When I was taking the costume off, I started thinking about the ring and what it meant. I had first just bought the ring to wear with my costume, but the more I thought about it, taking it off just didn't feel right. I talked to my mom the next day about the ring and what it meant. She was so proud of me for pondering such important topics at such a young age. We talked about the importance of commitment and faith. We both agreed that the ring was a great way to show off my feeling on this important topic.
The next day at school I showed all my friends my new ring and explained to them what it meant. They were all so impressed by how sleek and cool it looked. I'm pretty sure this ring store should hire me because of all the business I must have sent their way! What a great month this has been for me. What started out as a fun idea for a Halloween costume turned into a commitment for life that I am so proud of. I so glad there are people like the Jonas brothers out there to be good role models for boys like me. They rock, they roll, and they live faithful lives we can all be proud of. I can't wait to meet them one day and maybe even compare rings with them. You better believe ill be writing an update if and when it happens! This time with pictures!
