"Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord." This means all people who wish to take upon them the name of Christ and fulfill His mission upon the Earth must be cleansed in the inside as well the outside.“Be clean. Be clean in your thoughts. It is not easy in the environment in which you live. But if you work at it, you can do it. You can shut out those influences which destroy your soul, your spirituality, and can destroy your very life. The sleaze, the filth, the terrible pornography that is sweeping over the earth like a flood--stay away from it. Do not rent videos of a sleazy, filthy nature and sit around and look at them. They will destroy you. Do not go to shows which will tear down your principles. Do not read literature which will destroy your high ideals. You are a son or daughter of God, and He expects marvelous things of you.” (President Gordon B. Hinckley, September 15, 1996 as taken from Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, “Virtue”)
