Purity (Part 1)
Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In this discussion on culture and purity, Steve Gregg addresses the issue of sensuality in dominant culture and the importance of pursuing holiness. He emphasizes the need to focus on purity of heart and conduct, rather than mere external religiosity. Gregg also encourages an elevated view of marriage and sex, as instituted by God, and calls for modesty in dress and behavior for Christian women. He concludes that a native sense of modesty, guided by God, should trump overwhelming cultural pressures towards immodesty.
