Christian law firm sponsors 'Day of Purity' event

A Christian law firm is helping public school students nationwide celebrate Valentine's Day by taking a stand for purity.


For the fifth straight year, Liberty Counsel is sponsoring the "Day of Purity." The initiative encourages Christian students to make a public commitment to remain sexually pure until marriage. Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, says the campaign encourages students who want to resist a culture in moral decline.

"Each day in America alone, 8,000 teens will be infected with a sexually transmitted disease, and two-thirds of the 10 million new cases of STDs this year will be among the 14- to 25-year-old age group," he informs. "Between 1994 and 1998 the rate of teenage girls contracting HIV rose almost 117 percent -- and STDs are not the only issue. Over one-million teenage girls will become pregnant this year."

Staver hopes that when teens stand up for purity, others may follow their example. Liberty Counsel's website has a "Day of Purity" planning guide and other resources for the initiative
