Last night we had guest speaker, Josh Homan, talking about sex. He discusse that sex is in fact God-created and necessary for procreation and meant to be fulfilling and fun. However, it is also meant to be practiced within the confines of marriage.Josh stressed the importance of purity before marriage and he gave the reasons why God asks this of us and the benefits of staying pure. ”Purity paves the way to intimacy.” Without intimacy, “the joy of knowing someone fully and being known by that person with no fear of rejection,” a marriage cannot work. “Impurity, on the other hand, erodes the capacity to experience intimacy and consequently diminishes the satisfaction of sex.”
1 Corinthians 6:18 “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.”
What is considered “pure”? How do we live lives of purity? If we’re to not have sex until marriage, how far is too far? The question we should be asking ourselves is how far can i stay away from sex? crossing lines that are closer to sex is dangerous because once you go that far you just keep going. so staying as far away from it as possible is what is pure.
so where have you drawn the line?
where are you compromising?
do you need to draw a new line?
