Let's Talk Sex.

"There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one."(1 Corinthians 6:16)

   Sex: a word that has become something like a curse word to many Christians. No one likes to talk about sex because they feel that if you talk about, then people are going to want to do. Well, no one talks about it & many teenagers are having it. So, I say LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!

   Our society promotes sex like crazy! You see it on television, in movies, on the Internet, in books, and you hear about it in music. The way sex is presented to us through the media, it seems as though sex is just to have fun. Sex has no meaning anymore. Sex now is just between any two individuals that just want to have fun. That's not what God created sex for! God created sex for a man & a woman that is MARRIED! God created sex was for procreation. You remember Adam & Eve, right? Well, in Genesis 1:28 He told them "to be fruitful & multiply". God basically told them to have sex to have children. Sex is not for two young teenagers, or unmarried adults, to do because they feel that they love each other or they just want to have fun. No, that's not it!

   I know many young people, especially girls, that have sex because they feel that they are "in love". Boys will tell girls that if you're in love with them, then you must have sex to prove it. Don't believe the lies, ladies! If he really loves you then he wouldn't be worried about having sex with you! True love is patient (1 Corinthians 13:4). Plus, you're young! There are more things to life than having sex with someone that won't even be your husband. Sex is a physical & spiritual connection between two people. Once you're connected to that person, they are there forever.

   Don't think that pre-marital sex doesn't have consequences because it does. I can name a few for you, such as a baby (or babies!), diseases, loneliness, depression, low self-esteem, etc. Be smart & just do it God's way. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a virgin & waiting until you're married! I'll be 19 in two months & I'm a PROUD virgin! Understand that your body is God's holy temple. Your body is like a treasure chest full of diamonds, gold & rubies. Don't let just anyone have the key & take your treasure because by the time your king comes, your treasure won't have much worth.
