That is an EXCELLENT post. Please read this anyone who is doubting where they stand on this!

Please don't fall into the devil's lies that 'it's what people do'. The devil will and frequently does attack people on this. Stay strong in the Lord. Be obedient to him and he will honour that decision.

Just one other thing about sex:

a few years ago I became so fixated on sex before marriage being a sin that I lost sight of what sex actually was in God's eyes. This post (rizen1's) is talking about sex being GOOD. It is GOOD. It's wonderful because God made it.

Let's be radical in our choice to stay sexual pure until marriage.

BUT

Let's not in any means think of sex as a bad thing in that pursuit.

I spent quite a long time feeling so negative about sex that the idea of sex within marriage felt sinful to me. Don't make the same mistake. It's like a christmas present which, when opened on Christmas day is a huge surprise and joy, but if opened beforehand, when it comes to Christmas, it's no longer a surprise because we have not honoured the conditions on which the present was given.

I like the christmas present idea!
I think of it as this...
you can only have a first time ONCE. why not share that one extra special time with someone that you have promised the rest of your life to???

I have always believed in NO sex beofore marriage and at times it has been hard.
when people around me started to have sex with there boyfriends I felt like i was missing out on something...

I watched a serman on the God channel the other day and a man was talking about this subject he described it as..

Being told that you can't have chocolate for a week! You and your friends go out to a beautiful tea room and all your friends tell you that this tea room is well known for its chocolate cake.
you have your tea and then out comes the pudding menu.
when you look at the menu all you read is dark Chocolate cake, chocolate cheesecake, homemade chocolate icecream.. and so you beat yourself up about it and think to yourself I can' have chocolate so i am not having anything.
BUT what you have missed is what was under the chocolate icecream, lemmon cheesecake, soft victoria sponge, banana split, bannoffee pie.

we get so wraped up in thinking that we are missing out because we have chosen to wait until marriage that we miss all the greater things like building stronger relationships with Christ!

something to think about.

What a wonderful post Rizen, and so very true. Thanks for sharing!

Alright, this a great post and should be read by all adults alike. Some

teenagers feel that they know everything sex is and they simply are

lying to themselves. Sex is something that can only apply to two people

who truly love eachother and are able to express it in marrital

boundaries. As we get past our Parent-nature boundaries, we are in

essence are "conquerors" and have reached an age where we know

how things work and feel we can do it on our own. That is why teens

rebel against thier parents and have sex but in the end they have to be

advocates for thier actions. If pre-marital sex leads to treacherous

waters, it is our job to warn the young youth of such things and this

can help us. We must be able to teach our youth in this age because

the next generation is looking to turn out worse than the previous one.

Great post. Casual sex has been way to common. Abstinence is a great way to go, and it's a great way to prevent HIV or other STDS. May God bless you! XO -Kay

Thats a good post Rizen.. That one should know how to discipline his/her body. Our body is the temple of God..

Thanks for that post..
