    Youth Seminar discussion points: "Why Wait to Have Sex until I am Married?"

    ABSTINENCE DISCUSSION:

     

    WHY WAIT?

    1.   God’s command

    2.           Unwanted pregnancy—sometimes resultedin choices regarding adoption, abortion, and the consideration of being asingle parent. None of these choices are better than the joy a married couplecan experience in keeping and raising their child together.

    3.            Diseases

    4.            Complications in what should havebeen a relaxed time of getting to know each other and choosing whether or notyou are right for each other.  Especiallya Christian will feel guilt and obligations that would not be there if therelationship had stayed pure. Soul ties develop with each person we areintimate with!  Confusion sets in.

    5.             Waiting is an excellent character test– if both pass this test, the trust will be much stronger if the relationshiplasts and becomes a marriage

    6.              Moral authority in witnessing andin being an active worker in a local church. Sin often causes people to drawback, avoid others, avoid eye contact, and step down from helpful workassignments

    7.               Avoiding a broken heart – often weassume sex is the beginning of a mutual covenant. It is not that way foreveryone

    8.                 Avoiding defiling the futurespouse of another

    9.               Many times word gets out whensomeone has fornicated.   Proverbs 22:1A good       name is rather to be chosenthan great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

    10.                  “It is better to marry than to burn”:  The decision about marriage could be madeprematurely if it is rushed by having given in to lust. Plus, once you havebeen intimate, either you need to get married or come apart – to date andcontinue in sin is dangerous.

    11.              Economic hardship

    12.              Spirit of illegitimacyattacking your child

    13.              Disappointing family andfriends

    14.              A sense of shame andguilt

    15.              Lifelong regret

                

    God’s rulesare all loved based….He can see things that will hurt us even when we cannotthink of all the results of our disobedience.

    We need totrust and obey!
