Five-day devotional based on the message by Pastor Jeff Maness on February 23, 2025. Watch/listen to the full message by clicking here.
Devotional
Many people ask, “How far is too far?” when it comes to physical boundaries in dating. But a better question is, “How close can I be to Jesus?” Purity isn’t just about saying “no” to sin; it’s about saying “yes” to God’s best. When we pursue purity, we prepare ourselves for a relationship built on trust, respect, and holiness.
Bible Verse
"Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise." — Ephesians 5:15 (NLT)
Reflection Question
Am I prioritizing purity in my thoughts, actions, and relationships?
Quote
"If your dating partner is willing to ignore God’s design for purity before marriage, what makes you think they will suddenly start pursuing purity after marriage?"
Prayer
Lord, give me the strength to honor You with my body and heart. Help me to pursue purity, not out of fear, but out of love for You and a desire for Your best in my life. Amen.
