A little purity does not go very far

A teaspoon of clean water does not purify a tall glass of sewage, but a teaspoon of sewage utterly ruins a glass of clean water. - Dale Ahlquist, writing for Crisis Magazine (post title is also part of quotation)

Yes. This.

Yet we must be careful not to dilute the message of grace as we approach this topic. Our purity is not our effort to be worthy of God's love, but is a gift God gives us in His love that we accept as we respond in love, as we trust that God's desire for us is greater than our own.
