Most
of the teens nowadays get curious in this thing called S-E-X. Everywhere we
turn, we’re inundated with pictures on billboards, images on television, sounds
on the radio and stories from showbiz. Our peers who are totally stuck with
earthly pleasures may fill each of us with ideas from the very pit of hell that
seeks to persuade us, “This is how it’s supposed to be. If you’re not doing it
like this, you’re not normal. This is what will bring happiness and fulfillment
in your life.”
A recent television program on
teenage sexuality reported that there is more sex, more pregnancies, more
abortions, and fewer marriages today than ever before in history. More and more
of today’s young people question traditional morality. They judge premarital
sex not in terms of whether it is right or wrong but whether it is a genuine
expression of love that they should use in their relationship.
Realizing the power of sex, Satan
has been using popular culture to lead men and women away from God and into
bondage. As we look at our culture, we need not look hard to see that Satan is
winning this battle over the mind of men and women.
People today especially the
youngsters are unaware of the genuine meaning of SEX. Due to curiosity, they
engage in it even before marriage just to satisfy their sexual desires. Teens
who can’t control their emotions may be got carried away without even thinking
the consequences of their decision.

facts about the EVILS behind PREMARITAL SEX:

light-to-severe feelings of guilt.

According
to the Word of God,
“Don’t be immoral
in matters of sex. That is a sin against your own body in a way that no other
sin is. You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives.
The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God
paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.” (1Corinthians
6:18-20)
Let’s proclaim loudly and
comfortable, the truth about sex. Because God’s way is only the way to have a
safe and satisfying sex!
