sex lies

They talk about it on TV, in commercials, in movies, on songs, and you talk about it at school. So why not talk about it on the Cross Over devotionals and find out the truth about sex. Sex is something I grew up thinking was just something we were supposed to do whenever you had a chance. I mean everyone else at school was doing it (so they said) and so that was the thing to do. My closest friends were doing it so it's just a part of what you do. That's what I thought. The music I listened to talked about it, they did it in the movies I watched so it was alright to do it with any girl I thought was cute that gave me the chance. And plus no one ever told me there was anything wrong with it. As long as you had protection it was all good. So before I got to high school I had sex. Then in tenth grade I got drunk and had sex with a girl that I probably would not have slept with had I not had soo many drinks. Do you know what happened? I caught something and it was pretty painful. I could tell you some stories but just to keep things short I want to make a few points. Sex is good, and it's clean, and it's right, and it's perfect. Trust me I am married and I can say that sex is awesome! It's only good, clean, right, and perfect at the right time. Sex was created by God to be performed inside of a marriage covenant. Do you know when the right time to have sex is? That's right. When you get married. I know that society will tell you otherwise. The world will tell you it's okay to do anything as long as it feels good. Just because it feels good does not mean that you should do it whenever you feel like doing it. I feel like punching my boss sometimes and I know it would feel good if I did, but does that mean I should do it? No, of course not. I would get fired and probably thrown in jail. Who knows? I would have hit him and it would have felt good but what are the consequences. I have no job, therefore no money, and now I am spending time in jail. For what? Because I wanted to do something that felt good. Would it be worth it? I don't think so. It's the same with sex. Just because you think it would feel good to do it does not mean you should do it illegally. Do you know what I mean by illegally? It's legal all day long when you are married but it's illegal outside of marriage. Maybe you don't feel loved and you think sex will fix your problem. It will only make matters worse. Maybe you want to fit in and you want your friends to think highly of you because you had sex. Would it be worth it for you to catch an STD just to impress people? Trust me it's not. As I mentioned earlier I got burned once and it was not worth it. I want to end you with this. Sex is right but only at the right time. Ladies, if he is not willing to wait until marriage then he doesn't love you. Fellas, I know how you feel. But trust me if you wait, it will be worth it. It's like playing sports. A running back in football can't just run wherever he wants whenever he wants to. The best running backs are the patient ones because they know how to wait for their blocks. The best hitters in baseball don't just swing at everything because they would strike out all the time. They wait for a good pitch they can hit. A good shooter in basketball doesn't shoot the ball every time he gets the ball. He creates opportunities and when he is open he shoots the ball. Your opportunity is when you get married. Wait. I'm telling you it's worth it. God said, "A man should leave mother and father and cleave unto his WIFE..." Notice he said WIFE. That means they are married. God said sex was okay as long as you are married. If God said it's okay then it's okay but it has to be the right time.
