The Value Of Sexનમૂનો
There is a growing, God-inspired wave of young people rising up around the globe. They are choosing to view sex as God designed it: a gift to be enjoyed inside marriage. Why not join them?
It’s not too late. If you’d like to be part of what God is doing in the world, here’s an action plan that will give you the tools you need to do it:
• Make a decision to wait for sex. Every new direction in life starts with a simple choice.
•Realize it will be tough. Your hormones, movies, music, and peer pressure will tempt you to throw away your values.
• Choose friends who share your values.
• Stay single until you’re ready for marriage.
• If you go out with someone, make sure they share your values.
• If someone pressures you sexually, say, “You don’t respect me or my values. I’m out of here.”
• Don’t fill your mind with sex. Avoid sexually-charged music, movies, places, books...
• Stay away from alcohol and drugs. People do dumb things when they’re drunk or high.
• If you make a mistake, learn from it. Ask God for forgiveness and the power to stand strong.
• Share your struggles with someone you respect.
• Get tested. If you’ve had sex, get tested for STDs and HIV.
• Write a letter to your future life partner – tell them you will save yourself for them.
• If you’ve been abused or raped, realize your virginity was not taken from you. You’re still a virgin in God’s eyes, until you choose to give that away.
• When you feel tempted, pray and ask God for strength.
• Spend time with God, His Word, and His people. Find a church you can call home.
PRAYER: God, I want to restart my commitment to save myself until marriage. Please help me to find friends and a church that will help me do that.

About this Plan
Sex. It's everywhere. We're bombarded with it everywhere we look. Yet, what is the value of sex? Unfortunately, it has become a cheap commodity and something that many struggle to truly understand the value of. Thankfully, God, through the Bible, has much to say on the topic of sex, it is not something He has been silent on, even if the Church is.
