Planned Parenthood (a horrible institution of mere morons with warped views on the family) has a website for teens, yes for teens, to learn how to have sex (www.teenwire.com). Notice some things you read on this website, so that we can WAKE UP to what our kids are reading and hearing and fight against it.
These are all great New Year's resolutions — but how about adding one more to the mix that'll improve your body, your mind — and your sex life? This year, think about how you can be sexually healthy. Sexual health is something that affects all of us, whether we're currently sexually active or not. Sexual health is about more than using birth control, practicing safer sex, or being free of infection or dysfunction. It's about being emotionally, physically, and mentally aware of what you want and need sexually. It's also about communication and responsibility… …And exploring through masturbation — touching one's own sex organs for pleasure — is one of the primary ways people learn what they do and do not enjoy sexually… … Enjoying our sexuality is a normal, natural part of life. For many people, however, there is so much guilt, embarrassment, and shame associated with sex that the pleasure is lost. A social climate that demonizes sex doesn't help” (http://www.teenwire.com/infocus/2005/if-20051227p402-health.php). It’s not just our kids, but adults too. Sex is happening in all the wrong relationships. The marriage bed is not honored by society at all. Notice: “More than nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, according to a new study. The high rates extend even to women born in the 1940s, challenging perceptions that people were more chaste in the past” (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/19/national/main2282940.shtml). Our society actively promotes premarital sex as we saw in the aforementioned quotes. The world is our enemy (James 4: 4). Young children (http://www.post-gazette.com/lifestyle/20030914teensexlifestyle1p1.asp) are engaging in sexual intercourse. Planned Parenthood says it’s healthy. Young adults have seen and heard all of their lives that sexual activity is okay outside of the marriage bed. So, it is no surprise that young couples decide to sinfully (Romans 13:13) “live together” before considering marriage. In fact, some just think that marriage is a formality to have an official “tag” on what they are already doing. Brethren, when society allows couples to engage in sexual relations prior to marriage, those couples will not see a difference in being married aside from the ring on the finger and a different tax form. What God designed to be beautiful and special has been degraded by the “great minds” (I Corinthians 3:19-20) among us. Notice what God said from the very beginning on this matter: “And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:20-24). Brethren, God’s plan for the sexual relationship was intended, from the beginning of creation, to be between a man and his wife. Sex is a wonderful part of God’s intentions for marriage. This is when two become one flesh and they satisfy each other’s sexual desires (I Corinthians 7:4-5). To avoid fornication, which premarital sex is, couples are to get married. Notice again, what the Lord says about this: “What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband… I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn” (I Corinthians 6:16-7:3; 8-9). Our society may say fornication (renamed premarital sex, exploration, being cool, or sexual health) is okay, but God says those who commit such will not see Heaven (I Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21). It is the will of God that we abstain from fornication (I Thessalonians 4:3). The truth is, most young people and most adults just roam around acting like a bunch of whores which have no hope of Heaven (Ephesians 5:5). What a shame on parents who have not rightly instilled morality into their children. Brethren, we live in a time where virginity is looked upon as a disease. Thanks be to God, that Christ has already been born of a virgin. For I must ask with disgust, how many Mary’s exist today (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:18-25)? Brethren, these things have to be discussed and we have to assure that fornication is not named among us (Ephesians 5:3). I shall close with God having the last words. Notice what HE calls those having sex outside of the marriage relationship: “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4). |

What must one do to be saved (Acts 2:37)? Hear and believe the Gospel (Mark 16:15-16 & Romans 10:17), repent of their
sins (Acts 3:19), confess Christ (Acts 8:37), and be baptized (immersed) for the remission of your sins (Acts 2:38 and
Romans 6:1-6). Upon your obedience to these requirements of the Lord He will add you to the church of Christ (Acts 2:41; 47
and I Corinthians 12:12-13; cf. Romans 16:16). One must then remain faithful (Colossians 1:23 and Revelation 2:10). There is
