“Purity is what you DONT do. Holiness is what you DO.” What an amazing thought!!! I think we have been taught for so long to abstain. We have been told what NOT to do. But no one has told us what we can do and what we are called to do. The result is pure people who get bored. And bored people end up doing stupid things! Most people put themselves in bad situations because they were bored and when given an opportunity to do something (even if it’s wrong) they can’t resist. I have often asked how spiritual boredom takes route and I think I have finally found the answer. HOLINESS! Holiness is doing something for God not simply resisting the pleasures of the world. When we step out and do something (ANYTHING!) for the Lord it keeps our eyes on Jesus and gives God an opportunity to move in our lives. Remember that “without HOLINESS no one can see the Lord” because Holiness has to do with action and faith. Purity is a discipline. And disciplines without an outlet of action will lead to hopelessness and apathy and of course boredom.
