PURITY
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them. Eph. 5:11.
* * *
Our reproof of sin may always be through the living epistles of our daily lives which, as bright and shining lights, should ever reprove by manner, look, act, and tone, everything tending toward darkness and sin. "Let your light so shine before men that they seeing your good works may glorify your Father in Heaven." Occasionally it may be proper, and still more occasionally it may be duty, for us to speak or to act in opposition to darkness; but the light of a godly life, testifying for the Truth and exhibiting the Holy Spirit, is certainly one of the most forceful reproofs of sin that can be administered.
