Are you prepared

My cousin Kevin was 16 years old when he got his girlfriend pregnant. She was only 14 or 15.
This is the reality of sex. Are you ready for it?
Are you honestly prepared to assume responsibility for supporting yourself, your child, and your mate (if he loves you enough to marry you, once you’re pregnant). Or will you try to cover up your irresponsibility with abortion?
Face the facts. Premarital sex is WRONG – it is SIN. It has RISK. It may require that you take on responsibilities you really don’t want at this stage of your life. These are the facts. Can you face up to them and make the RESPONSIBLE decision to WAIT until you are married?
I sure hope so, because that’s what a MATURE adult does.
Consider another fact.
If you have sex once before marriage, odds are you will do it again. Odds are that you will have more than one sex-partner before you get married – IF you do it just once…
Once that happens, take yourself another step down this ‘potential’ future you are making for yourself…to your Honeymoon.
Won’t you be ashamed of yourself then? What purity have you preserved for your new mate? Which of your former ‘lovers’ is going to spring into your mind on the very night God intended to be so personal and precious!
Pre-marital sex can be the beginning of a life filled with guilt – and robbed of the beauty and innocense God intended for you.
Yes, you can turn to God and receive forgiveness, but the memory will never be gone. THAT is one thing YOU must live with forever. The shame.
I know that many of the people in this echo are strong enough to avoid making this mistake. They are mature. They know what is right, and what is wrong. They also know that God is forgiving, because they have asked and received forgiveness for other things. You are the ones who must help these others make the right decisions. Help steer them away from temptation. Be a friend, and help another person to do well – to make the decisions that will give them some peace and joy in their lives, ok?
