Separating The Wheat From The Chaff And 9 Other Reasons Why You Should Wait :-


1. The 'A Plan'. God's perfect plan is not for fatherless children to be roaming the earth but for all children to be born to parents who love and are committed to each other. Any child who has a parent that isn't playing an active role in their lives will know rejection.

2. Blueprint. In Jewish culture, a covenant was formed by the planting of a seed/ tree or by people cutting their wrists and exchanging blood. God designed sex to be a COVENANT (aka promise). The act of sex is a promise of faithfulness.

3. Soul ties. Sex impacts us on more than just a physical level. When soul ties are formed there is typically a fallout when the ties are broken/ one attempts to break them.

4. Intimacy. Nobody should 'know' you better than your spouse. If you have been more sexually or emotionally intimate with somebody from your past than you are with your spouse, this can cause problems in your marriage.

5. Wheat from the chaff. If somebody really loves you and not simply lusts you, they'll wait... Hello! They'd wait for Beyonce, they can wait for you.

6. The cliche of sexual sin. Whenever the devil wants to win a man's soul he pretty much always uses sex, money or both. Don't just be a walking, talking, breathing cliche...!

7. 'Everybody is doing it so why shouldn't I?' There is nothing new about sexual sin under the sun. Christians are called to be 'peculiar people', i.e different [1 Peter 2:9], rather than take the broad easy road that leads to hell [Matthew 7:13]. Jesus was a revolutionary...Christianity is not for the yellow-bellied.

8. Christianity either maintains, updates or does away with Jewish law (e.g. the Jewish dietary code is not applicable to Christians). Old Testament teaching of sexual sin (or 'sexual immorality') being outside the will of God for mankind, is repeatedly maintained in the New Testament [Galatians 5:19, 1 Corinthians : 9-11].

9. Do not be deceived. If we are going to disregard sexual sin then we may as well disregard all other sins in Christianity. And if there is 'no sin', what the heck did Jesus come to earth and die for

10. Sexual Compatibility '101'. Whilst nobody ever built a 'whole relationship' off of sex alone, there is of course a place and purpose for it. Sex was designed by God to be something beautiful and binding between a husband & wife. What if you marry somebody and you're not sexually compatible? To become sexually compatible a husband and wife need to just find out what the other person likes and doesn't like, and to also realize that everyone has a learning curve.

Thank God that that there is forgiveness and restoration at hand for anyone who repents.

Repenting though is not the same as simply confessing or saying you're 'sorry'. The Greek root of the word 'repent' translates as 'turn away'. Yep that's a U-turn baby!
