Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. ~ Proverbs 4:23 (ESV)
Our heart is very valuable treasure that we must protect and guard…why? Well, because our life depends on it. Besides, why would God ever instruct us to guard something unimportant? (He doesn’t by the way) So when God instructs us to guard or to protect our hearts it must mean that our hearts must be very vital and it is. Our hearts makes us who we are and it determines our lives.
Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” That verse should say it all. Our hearts are more valuable than the next upcoming quiz, guy, or latest Twilight move. When we talk about emotional purity, we’re stating how to keep our emotions and hearts pure. As I have said earlier, purity is so much more than just abstinence It’s a life living and a heart thing.
As girls, we are gifted as being very emotional creatures that’s why Proverbs 4:23 should be like our anthem because we tend to give in to our emotions a lot. But we should be very careful about who we confine in and who we allow pieces of our heart to go to, besides no one should be allowed to that special part in your heart except God.
Guarding my heart (does) mean allowing no one access to that most central place of my affections but God. It means keeping the first commandment first—and loving Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5). ~ Paula Hendricks “How Do I Guard My Heart”
We were made by God and so our bodies (and hearts) belong to Him as well. However, God gives us the choice on whether to give our hearts and affections to Him or not. But we still must remember that whatever we allow in our hearts can either purify, build, and strengthen us or it can harm us, bring us down, and leave our hearts in pieces. So whatever we allow entrance into our heart MATTERS…period. God knows that our hearts are valuable and so our hearts were made for Him because He would never harm that special part of us. It’s also another reason why nothing and no one can ever fulfill us the way God can because we were made for Him. You can always be sure that God never wants to harm us in anyway, that’s why it’s safe to say that we can confine our hearts to Him.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Our hearts are under constant attack every day. We are constantly bombarded with the media, with people’s opinions, and withthe stresses of life. We don’t only have to guard our hearts from just bad relationships but from the world’s influences that want to corrupt our minds and hearts. Can you think of anything that tries to burden you down?
Is it a guy? A friend? An upcoming exam? Your parents? Insecurity? The future?
But the greatest thing is that we can confine our hearts to God and He promises us that He will strengthen us in life. Sure life will not always be easy, but also remember that Christ never promised that life will be easy. Yet He promised that He would be there with us in the tough (and good) times no matter what. So that should always helps us see things in a brighter perspective.
How can we stay emotionally pure?
- Ask God daily for help.
- Read the Bible, which is your ultimate weapon.
- Watch what you read or watch (magazines, tv shows, books, music, girl talk, etc…)
- Remember who you are in Christ
- Don’t bare you soul out to a guy.
I found that advice in a Christian girl’s magazine, and it’s so true. When you pour your heart out to a guy, you give him a piece of your heart that is suppose to be only for God (and your future husband). “Girls ‘give in’ physically only after they’ve given themselves away emotionally.” I also learned that you it is very wise to never text guys late at night because it tends to become very sensual or intimate, which will cause a deep emotional attachment.
Philippians 4:7-10 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”

Have you ever given your heart to someone who didn't love you back? Do you feel like you've experienced heartache over and over again? If you are emotionally attached to someone, it's easy to cross the line and become emotionally intimate. Then if the relationship doesn't work out, you're left with scars on your heart. The church teaches us the importance of physical purity; but it teaches little about emotional purity. Christian singles often wear their hearts on their sleeves, which can lead to intense, emotionally intimate, male-female 'friendships' with no commitment to pursuing marriage. People may have had several of these 'friendships' and still consider themselves pure, but in reality they have given away pieces of their hearts that should be reserved for their future spouses. Emotional Purity will show you how to define and set boundaries in your relationships to avoid making the same mistakes. Learn how to guard your heart and keep it emotionally pure. Using fictional and real-life examples along with sound biblical advice, author Heather Arnel Paulsen outlines the pitfalls of undefined relationships and presents guidelines for living an emotionally pure life.

Satan’s hold on men through pornography has been well-documented and addressed in Christian circles in recent years. But what about women? How does the enemy of our souls snare the feminine sex? What men do physically, women do emotionally. In many of our homes, women spend countless hours on movies, books, social media, texting, fantasizing, and inappropriate relationships. If Satan cannot get us to take part in evil, he delights in saturating our minds with it. Even when we are wise enough to avoid directly participating in immorality, the mental and emotional impact of that saturation can unfold in hurt, disappointment, and broken marriages. Emotional purity is just as important as physical purity, because ultimately, it is a reflection of our hearts. Nothing Gray About It: Emotional Purity Before a Holy God presents our battle plan for applying the power of Proverbs 4:23: “Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”

Drawing from a study of courtship media and ethnographic work at purity retreats and home-school conventions across the Midwest, this is the first inquiry into modern Christian courtship, an alternative to dating that asks young people to avoid both romance and sex until they are ready to be married. Bridging sociological and historical studies of American Christianity with youth and girlhood studies literatures, Elizabeth Shively finds that the courtship system is designed to shore up the patriarchal nuclear family structure at the center of conservative Christianity and ensure predictability in the face of emerging adulthood: single young women work to embody ideals of “luminous femininity” and model themselves after archetypes such as the “Proverbs 31 woman,” the “stay-at-home-daughter,” and the “mission-minded girl,” and courting couples strive to “guard their hearts” against premature emotional intimacy. Nonetheless, participants report that courtship, like other relationships, inevitably carries an element of risk, and it ultimately fails to offer a substantial challenge to the to the sexist realities of youth dating culture.

'Ashby includes the great thinkers and periods that have shaped Western ethics: the Greeks, the Hebrew prophets, the Roman Stoics, St. Augustine, the medieval ethicists, the Renaissance and Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Romantics, and the radical revolutions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the period from 1850 to 1920, Ashby notes, the transformations wrought by the four great modern thinkers - Darwim, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud - both extended and significantly challenged the traditional core beliefs of the West and, as a result, bestowed upon us a profound moral crisis, one that we have not yet successfully met. Consequently, as we stand at the brink of the twenty-first century, with its further technological breakthroughs and social upheavals, how will we deal with the moral uncertainties that await us? In his final chapter Ashby contends that while remaining alive to our Western ethical heritage, we will have no choice but to confront its basic presuppositions as we move into a more pluralistic society, for he asserts that the ideology of the future cannot be exclusively Western; future history cannot be purely Western history. So, while this history of ethics cannot tell us how to live, it can offer to the reader what is prerequisite to a more satisfying life: an insightful and inclusive history of where our own ethical beliefs have come from and a sense of the challenges that await us all.'.

What did Jesus think about Jewish practice regarding impurity? How did he relate to the inner-Jewish debates of his day concerning ritual purity and impurity? Did he discard the impurity concept altogether, or was it an obvious and natural part of his Jewish faith and life? Did he advocate another or different type of purity? Ritual or cultic purity was paramount in Jewish society and life during the Second Temple period, and differences in purity halakhah were one of the factors that distinguished various movements. Therefore, considering purity is crucial in any attempt to interpret the historical Jesus within his contemporary context. In the latest or 'third' phase of historical Jesus study, researchers have given prominence to Jesus' social and cultural context. In keeping with this goal, Thomas Kazen discusses the historical Jesus alongside what we know of Jewish purity halakhah of his time and explains Jesus' attitude toward impurity. Kazen balances the work of New Testament scholars on Judaism and legal matters by incorporating the historical Jesus studies of Jewish scholars, seeking to engage students of the historical Jesus with the primary materials relating to legal matters.
