Define Sexual Purity in your own words (what does it mean to be sexually pure?)
Does sexual purity matter? What’s the big deal with remaining sexually pure?
What is a virgin?
Is it reasonable to expect us to remain virgins until we are married?
How do you respond to these quotes?
Educators who tell teenagers that sex is just part of growing up and that it can be a "loving and learning" experience outside of marriage don't understand that men and women are created by God "in His image" and are not the result of an amoral, animalistic, evolutionary process. God teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong and that there will be consequences for such actions."(John Ankerberg & John Weldon, The Myth of Safe Sex)
RESPONSE-
"Purity doesn't happen by accident; it requires obedience to God. But this obedience is not burdensome or overbearing. Impurity is a grimy film that coats the soul, a shadow that blocks light and darkens our countenance. Without purity, God's gift of sexuality becomes a destruction game. A relationship devoid of purity is soon reduced to nothing more than two bodies grasping at and demanding pleasure. Without purity, the mind becomes a slave to depravity, tossed about by every sinful craving and imagination."(Joshua Harris ... I Kissed Dating Goodbye (A New Attitude Toward Romance and Relationships)
RESPONSE-
Our society is starving for intimacy. And many of the lies we believe in our culture have to do with our hunger for relationship. We want acceptance, loving relationships and deep intimacy, and yet we believe the lie that sex will satisfy our hunger. It's true that we are profoundly sexual beings, but it's time to examine some of the lies we feast on: the lie that premarital sex is one of our unalienable rights, the lie that sexual intercourse is the route to intimacy, and the lie that premarital abstinence is obsolete at best and repressive at worst.
