This past week my health class has been talking about sexuality. My health teacher says it's okay to be sexually active as long as you are protected. God has been pointing out to me lately that He begs to differ. God pointed out Romans 12:1-2 which says:
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.(NIV)
So if you have premarital sex that is like giving aids to your sacrifice to God. It's a good way to screw up your relationship with God. Not cool. God also pointed this out to me last night:
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. (1 Corinthians 10:13, NIV)
So if someone tells you they just couldn't resist sex they lied. God promises He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can deal with. Whatever temptation you are dealing with I know there are thousands of people dealing with the same temptation right now. There is no excuse for having premarital sex any way you look at it. I wish they would teach that in schools.

Agreed. Great thoughts.
