SEX
 
Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
 
What a wonderful God we serve!  A God who will not leave anything to human reasoning.  Humans want to reason among themselves as to what is "right" and "proper" in their own eyes.  Some believe that "right", "proper", and "honorable" is left up the individual to decide.  Or possibly, it is left up to how we "feel";  as in "IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT".
 
Nothing can be further from the truth.  God has given us guide lines;  an owners manual, if you will.  He has given us His word in a written book for us to live by.  THE HOLY KING JAMES BIBLE!
 
THE TRUTH ABOUT SEX:
 
IT IS ORDAINED BY GOD! 
 
Genesis 1:27 - 28, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
 
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
 
"BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH, AND SUBDUE IT:..." 
 
God has instituted the wonderful pleasure of sex to populate the earth.  God has made sex pleasurable.  He has given natural attractions for a man to be attracted to a  woman;  and for a woman to be attracted to a man.
 
But, remember, God has set strict guide lines for sex:
 
1.  MARRIAGE
 
God has instituted Marriage.
 
Proverbs 21:31, "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD."
 
God's borders and guide lines are for SAFETY not for cruelty.  Under the bonds of Holy Matrimony, Sex is safe!
 
Matrimony is the only real SAFE SEX!         AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! 
 
Genesis 2:18, "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
 
Genesis 2:21 - 22, "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."
 
THE FIRST MARRIAGE WAS CONDUCTED BY GOD HIMSELF!
 
Marriage is God's way.  All others, such as SHACKING UP;  FORNICATION;  ADULTERY;  ONE NIGHT STANDS;  SELF ABUSE;  PORNOGRAPHY;  ETC.  are all perversions of God's intended way.
 
1 Corinthians 7:1 - 2, "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."
 
So, TOUCHING between unmarried persons is not recommended by God!  "It is good for a man NOT to touch a woman."  The world today propagates touching, fondling, petting between the unmarried.  This is Anti Bible, and Anti God
 
When unmarried couples begin to touch, IT WILL LEAD TO FORNICATION!  Read
 
I Corinthians 7:1, 2 again.  Verse one says not to touch.  Verse two, "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication..."  Touching will lead to fornication.
 
What about holding hands??
 
God says, "...It is good for a man NOT to touch a woman."  In order to hold hands, don't you have to touch??
 
Holding hands;  putting your arm around each other;  hugging; etc.  All touching should be avoided.  If separated, clean, God loving teens don't avoid touching each other, they will have to try to avoid fornication! 
 
Teens who want to please The Lord, have a rough time trying to say "NO" to their flesh when touching begins.  The flesh tries so hard to fight against God and His words.
 
Galatians 5:16, "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
 
17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
 
When God loving Teens begin to touch, the flesh begins to ignite its lustful flames.  The saved teen is then torn between the Holy Spirit and the flesh. 
 
The flesh against the Spirit. 
 
Which one will win?
 
Which ever one you feed the most! 
 
"...WALK IN THE SPIRIT, AND YE SHALL NOT FULFIL THE LUST OF THE FLESH"
 
Teenager, do not give place to your flesh.  God is trying to protect you.  He is trying to save you heartache!
 
WHAT'S WRONG WITH FORNICATION?  MY PEERS TELL ME IT IS FUN.  THEY MAKE IT SOUND THAT I AM A NO BODY IF I HAVEN'T HAD SEX.
 
Well, for starters:
 
a.  Venereal Disease is on the rise.
 
Did you know that genital warts and genital herpes are common place now among teenagers?  Not to mention AIDS, which still kills.
 
b.  For the saved Teen, your body is the Temple of The Holy Ghost!
 
1 Corinthians 6:19, "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?
 
20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
 
Why would you want to defile God's Temple?
 
Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
 
c.  Fornication is sinning against God's Temple!
 
Do you wish to sin against God's Temple?
 
1 Corinthians 6:18, "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
 
d.  When you fornicate, you are creating a freak of nature (spiritual freak of nature)
 
1 Corinthians 6:15, "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
 
16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh."
 
Spiritually, you are adding members to your body.  In other words, you are creating a spiritual freak of nature that has many added on members to the body. 
 
There is a lot of spiritual luggage you begin toting with you!  You have members joined to your spiritual body that was never intended.  When you fornicate, you will never forget about it.  You live with the memory of it till the day you die! 
 
Who wants to marry a girl who has had spiritual members added unto her?  Or a girl marry a boy who has many members added unto him that was never intended?  Think about it!  Knowing that a girl has had sex with another, or with many others.  How could the boy ever trust in her?  How could his heart ever trust safely?
 
Proverbs 31:11, "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
 
12  She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."
 

 
What young lady would want to marry a man that has been sexually active with others.  Knowing that he could very well be thinking of them while he is looking at you!
 

 
The Devil has really thrown a curve ball in this issue!  He has made sex outside of marriage appealing and desirable.  He has made it appear harmless.  Nothing could be further from the Truth about Sex!  Young lady, and Young man, please do not join your body to another.  Please flee fornication.  For the mental health of your self later on, please avoid any kind of touching among yourselves!  Obey God's Words, and you shall have a wonderful, exciting, pleasurable Marriage later on!
 

 
2.  MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE WOMAN AND ONE MAN!
 

 
Genesis 1:27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
 

 
GOD CREATED ADAM AND EVE.  NOT ADAM AND STEVE!  NOR DID HE CREATE ANDREA AND EVE! 
 

 
Do not buy into the philosophy of love constituting a marriage! 
 

 
This world says, "If two people love each other, it doesn't matter what gender you are, what race you happen to be, or anything else.  Love is the deciding factor."
 
Two men may be legally married in some States, but God Almighty never recognizes it!  God has ordained marriage to be One male and One Female.  Period.
 
Sodomites are boasting of their love one for another.  They declare that they are just as much a family as "NORMAL" Marriages are.  God destroyed entire populations for the sickening sin of sodomy. 
 
Leviticus 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
 
23  Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
 
24  Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
 
25  And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
 
26  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
 
27  (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)"
 
Leviticus 20:13, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
 
Romans 1:24, "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
 
25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
 
26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
 
27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
 
28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"
 
God has never made Frisco Fairies!  Men and women have rebelled against the Creator and wish to worship the creature.  It is the wickedness of men's hearts who have perverted God's Holy Matrimony!
 
3.  MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE! 
 
"Honourable", means, "Respected; worthy of respect; regarded with esteem."  It is respected by God! 
 
What a great honor it is to be married!  God first instituted marriage!  He did not send an Angel to do so, He brought the woman to the man HIMSELF!
 
Genesis 2:21 - 22, "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."
 
Jesus showed up at the Marriage in Cana.
 
John 2:1, "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
 
2  And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage."
 
Dear Teen, please regard God's honourable matrimony.  It is His plan to see you married.  Married to the right spouse.  Please begin praying NOW, as to whom The Lord would have you marry.  Do not listen to your flesh,  follow The Lord, and let Him pick for you!
 
Have you considered God's chosen spouse for you?  I believe He has a woman for a man and a man for a woman, Please wait for Him to bring the woman to you.  Don't go looking for your mate for life down at the Mall.  Don't look for your life long mate down at the Theater.  The dancing feet of a woman at a dance hall will not make good feet on a wife.  Those feet will not be satisfied being a Mother and Wife, those feet will dance right out of your house and into the arms of another man!
 
Your life long spouse will be found in God's House!  Marry within the Family of God! 
 
2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
 
Marriage is honourable!
 
4.  IN MARRIAGE, THE BED IS UNDEFILED.
 
Praise The Lord for the Marriage Bed.  When teenagers obey God's Word, they are in for the best life ever!  God's Word clearly speaks volumes to the ears of His children.  When we obey His words, He dumps over the "honey buckets" into our soul. 
 
Nothing is more rewarding than a godly, holy, sanctified Marriage.  A marriage that started right with clean participants.  You obey The Lord before marriage, and He will fill your home with love, love, love!  What a Great God we have! 
 
Your Marriage will be everything God intended it to be if His words are heeded.  This world knows nothing of real love.  Without The Lord in your life, your marriage bed is not what God intended.  He will withhold no good thing.
 
Psalms 84:11, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
 
Dear Teenager, God has never intended for you to engage in sex before marriage.  He has a plan for your life.  He has a spouse for you.  He has a undefiled marriage bed awaiting for you that will be grander than any Hollywood movie could portray.  Hollywood is a lie!  Your peers don't know what they are talking about.  A teenager who engages in sex before marriage always ends up feeling empty about it.  Wishes they never had done it!  Even the ones who brag and speak well of it now, they actually are feeling empty and dirty. 
 
5.  "but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
 
What a terrible tragedy!  For Teens to listen to the voice of the devil and of the flesh.  To partake in whoredom and adultery.  To go against God's precious Words and rebel against Him.
 
Teenager, God wants what is best for you.  He sees your future.  You only see what is in front of you.  Don't play the whore!  God is merciful, but, He will Judge!  When He judges, He does not judge according to man.  He does not judge according to you!  His judgments are righteous!  His judgments are based on What He has said.  He hasn't changed His mind about anything He has said.
 
Dear Teen, when your peers begin to boast and brag of their infidelity, and their whoredom.  When they begin to belittle you and mock you for your virginity.  Please remind them that you can become what they are at any time.  But they will NEVER be what you are ever again!!
 
If you have already enganged in sex before marriage, please repent and ask The Lord to forgive you right now. 
 
Purpose in your heart to never partake in the sin again.
 
Begin now memorizing His Word to help keep your mind and heart stayed on The Lord.
 
You, unfortunately will be vexed with the memory of this perversion.  You will have emotional and spiritual scars that run deep.  The Lord is your helper!  He will help you through this.  He still doeth all things well! 
 
1 Corinthians 6:9  ¶Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
 
10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
 
11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
 
Perhaps The Lord would use you to help others who have not gone down this perverted journey.  You know first hand what the wages of sin is.
