S*x is everywhere. It permeates
television shows, the Internet, and
magazines.
Even children’s movies often
have thinly veiled sexual overtones.
Today, society’s carefree thinking on s*x
out of wedlock is simply, “Why not?”
Believing that “most are doing it
anyway,”
Most people say we're in
the 21st century and that's now legal, but 99% of
things that are legal are not right.
Is this a bad thing? Most say no. To
support this position, some cite the well-
documented health benefits of being
sexually active.
some even say ""does s*x belong only inside a
marriage relationship""? What is wrong
with reaping all the physical benefits of
s*x outside of wedlock so long as one is
“smart” about it?
Uhmmmm but I tell u, there are dangers for the
sexually active person: transmission of
diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and
potential emotional scarring from a
promiscuous lifestyle of multiple
partners.
see our generation where teenage pregnancies are
rampant.
you meet young people “where
they are” and talk openly about s*x.
Educators hope to arm teens with
enough information to dispel the
mystery of s*x so they can “decide when
they are ready” to lose their virginity.
“One of the things young people say a lot
is that the s*x education they get is
virtually meaningless, it’s too biological
and doesn’t relate to how they are
feeling.
Essentially, parents have concluded
they are no longer able to stop children
from having s*x. The best they can hope
to do is teach them about it.
sexually transmitted diseases
have reached an unprecedented level.
Even the “safest”
s*x can result in unintended pregnancies
This can lead to the tragic decision
to end the unborn child’s life through
abortion, something a woman will carry
for the rest of her life.
If the couple decides to go ahead with
the pregnancy, children of unmarried
parents are often susceptible to a host of
physical and emotional problems.
children born to women who
did not intend to get pregnant have been
found to have lower birthweight, poorer
mental and physical health, lower
educational attainment, and more
behavioral problems than do children
whose births were intended.”
Men and women who are products of
broken homes often have children out of
wedlock as well, which leads to a vicious,
multigenerational cycle of unhappiness.
Couples who wait enjoy
significantly more benefits than those
who had s*x earlier..
A healthy, happy marital relationship
produces similar relationships in the
lives of children who come from them. In
short, happy couples produce happy
children.
It is a parent’s job to proactively teach
about s*x. Yet parents have to compete
with what their children learn from this
world’s “s*xperts”—the hyper sexualized
media, permissive sexual education at
school, misguided how-to websites—as
well as their peers.
While these sources
may supply some correct information
about purely physical aspects, the
majority of what they teach includes
much error. Add to this the pull on
young people to learn by their own
experiences, which can be painful.
Because of these factors, many parents,
who do not truly understand the purpose
of s*x, are perfectly happy to outsource
the difficult job.
On the other hand, well-meaning parents
who seek to discourage premarital s*x
might simply say: “Because I said so!” or
even, “Because God said it’s a sin!”
Others, feeling it is inevitable that their
child will have s*x, may hand their son
or daughter a condom and tell them to
“be safe.”
In both scenarios, parents merely pass
along what they feel is right or what
others have told them—without ever
proving the truth for themselves.
By comiting to premarital s*x you risk.....
1. The risk of disobeying God and letting Satan
get a foothold
The Bible, time after time tells us to flee sexual
sins. Why? Because it is a major strategy of the
devil to sabotage God's work on Earth.
2. The risk of shame
Premarital s*x imputes a spiritual state of shame
that becomes a major weapon of Satan. God
forgives you, but you will still face the fruit of the
sin and you'll still be vulnerable to Satan's
whispering accusations on your worth as a
person and your value as an active individual.
3. The risk of sexual dysfunction
People spend millions of dollars to correct sexual
dysfunction through drugs and psychotherapy.
Why? Because they entered marriage with
unresolved sexual issues. For example, a man
may think that he will be free from the curse of
pornography once he gets married, only to find
that the problems are even more noticeable and
controlling.
4. The risk of placing your future children in
spiritual harm's way
The Bible clearly speaks of
the concept of generational sin. What you sow
(plant) spiritually may be reaped in the life of
your children. Break the power of Satan's curse.
Remain pure before God and you'll be
tenaciously guarding the future of the next
generation.
,
5. The risk of depression
Those who participate in premarital s*x
experience emotional damage that may lead to
an increased chance of mental depression and
emotional despair.
6. The risk of permanently damaging your
testimony as a Christian or Muslim
You'll never be able to honestly say, "I was a
virgin before I was married." You'll never be able
to live as an example of committed purity.
7. The risk of damaging the destiny of your
future marriage
There is no way that premarital s*x of any kind
could be a plus for your future marriage. It only
causes suspicion, mistrust, and regret.
8. Risks of incurable disease
Imagine that you have found that one special
person with whom you want to share your life.
And now you are forced to break the news that
you have an incurable disease.
Even though such
diseases like herpes are generally not considered
life threatening, there are no cures.
Not only is it
incurable, it fills a life with worries, awkward
revelations, and continuous need for medication.
Herpes and other STD's are everywhere.
Why risk contracting an STD?
9. The risk of lost relationships
When you choose to develop a sexual
relationship with someone, you have immediately
changed the entire definition of the relationship.
God's intent was for a man and woman to enjoy
s*x throughout the course of a lifetime. There is
no such thing as casual sex.
Once you have
developed a sexual relationship, that relationship
turns a critical corner. After the relationship
ends, you and your partner will experience the
guilt and pain of promises broken.
10. The risk of death
No one can deny that having s*x before marriage
can have grave consequences.
disease like AIDS and its likes kills its victims.
The choice is yours...
