Furthermore, many people worry about pollution that impact on environment. Although we should be concerned about this, we should be more alarmed by the way we are polluted by our culture. Throughout the Bible, we are cautioned about the way ungodly cultures tempt us to sin. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were warned not to adopt the practices of those around them…

 Leviticus 18:1-5- The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

James 1:27- Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

2 Corinthians 7:1- “Therefore, since we have those promises, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God”.
