Purity in Church
PURITY IN CHURCH (Transcript of April 6th Message)
This spiritual purity has become the necessary ingredient for the existence of the church; for the survival of the church - meaning without spiritual purity, there is no church. Everything that took place on the Cross was indeed the defining, the establishment of spiritual purity in the life of the church. Consecration, holy segregation, covenant with GOD and He says, “Separateness” that all of them were meant to boil down to one thing—to boil down to the observance of spiritual purity.

The only reason that can compel me to come right here and talk about purity in church is when there’s a holiness crisis in church; a crisis in the house is what can compel me to come before you and begin to say, “Just a moment, let us first of all look at purity in church.” And that’s why today I want to look at purity in church. But in looking at purity in church that means like I said that there’s a fall in purity. But the only way I can come here and begin to talk about the fall in purity in church is when I
