anyone interested in sex?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself WHY it is such a driving force?

As you already know Sex is everywhere. In TV, Magazines, Movies, Books; Your friends are talking about it, people you know are doing it and you want to do it (at least eventually)! But what are the rules of sex? Do you do it on a first date? Do you have to be dating? Do you have to be in love? Should you wait until you are married? What’s the answer? Who’s right and who’s wrong? Does it even matter? People have sex all the time with no consequences. Your friend that did it didn’t get pregnant or get a disease. Even if you know someone who got pregnant or got a disease, it’s not going to happen to you! What’s the big deal?

God created sex and he created rules to go with it. The Bible actually talks about it!

Fornication is having sex with someone you are not married to. Adultery is when you are married but you have sex with someone who is not your spouse. Homosexuality is having sex with someone who is the same gender as you. God was very specific. The devil has come in to lie, kill, steal and destroy. He wants to kill God and take his place. But the good news for us is that he can never do that. God is too big and powerful. Since he can’t get to God, he’s going to go after something that God loves and that is people!

Every rule that God set up the enemy lies and says the opposite (i.e. as long as you love him….. if my spouse doesn’t make me happy I will find someone who does…..you can love anybody you want to, doesn’t matter girl or guy…. ). As a result of people believing the lies of the devil the world has gone crazy. People are dying from diseases such as Aids. Young girls and young guys are having babies when they don’t know how to be parents yet. People are walking around feeling washed out and used up at a young age. (ROMANS 1:18-32)

Well, I’m here to tell you that when you follow God’s rules for sex it is AWESOME! My husband and I had sex before we were married. You might ask, “what’s the big deal? You didn’t get pregnant and you got married anyway? SIN will always but up a barrier between you and God. I felt embarrassed and I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone. I knew we had crossed God’s line and my intimacy with God suffered. It’s was like losing my best friend. I couldn’t come and talk to Him until I repented and asked him to forgive me. And what’s more is that even though we got married we wished we would have waited until we were married! We’ve talked about how much more special it would have been and we would not have had the burden of guilt that we felt. The good news is that we asked God to forgive us and he did!

Don’t envy others. Don’t ask “if they can, why can’t I”. The answer is that you are not them. God has a very special calling and destiny for your life, but you have to follow the rules to get the results he intends. EVERYBODY has had to deal with sex and MOST people have struggled. Don’t be ashamed to ask questions. Just ask the questions to those who can show you God’s answers…your parents, your youth leaders, someone at church you who trust. It’s never too late to start doing it God’s way! (PSALMS 73)
