Purity Guys
PurityGuys.com was started June 2005 with the message that purity is about more than just not having sex. In the Bible, it's a lifestyle. Not all will marry. Whether we do or not, God requires our hearts, minds, and bodies to be pure.
Through the site we try to provide encouragement to wait for God's plan and seek Him only until His plan is clear and the time is right. For us, that means not playing the dating game (purity of heart), striving to keep our thought life pure (purity of mind), and remaining physically pure (purity of body). It might seem like a lofty goal, but it's not an impossible one.

Through our reviews and discussions of that entertainment, we hope to spark intellectual thought, family discussion, spiritual growth and a strong desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8.
