Last week we looked at 3 groups of people for when it comes down to a relationship and dealing with dating & sex.
What we need to understand is that our body is made to go all the way.
Even if we have drawn the line at a point in your relationship your body is ready to move on.
It starts with…
-Hand Holding: You know the tag game, finger flicking, the hand nudging, the touch, leave the hand hanging and lock! It happens; your body’s engine has just started.
Then you’re holding hands under the jacket, then not with the jacket, and walking around holding hands.
And when you start with the next persons: boyfriend or girlfriend, you’ll be amazed that you skip the hand holding game and you go straight to holding hands.
WHY? Because your body is already started up. RPM ’S!
-The same with The Kiss: it may have taken months to get that kiss but after that, the next girlfriend or boyfriend, it’s like the 2nd date.
Why? Because your body is already idling at that level, so after that first kiss the RPM ’S are REVVING UP!
Your body moves on and the problem is you’ll always pick up where you left off with the next boyfriend or girlfriend.
That engine never turns OFF
Your “line” with your current relationship will be your starting point with your next.
We already talked about the spiritual reasons to stay pure now you just need to understand how the body works.
We need to realize that we’re about 4 times weaker than we think. We’ve already talked the first night about how you have no control over your heart, now you need to know that your body is just as hard to control.
The further you go / the faster you go
The further you go / the harder it is to go back
The further you go / the harder it is to go back
Some Advice:
• Plan your time
(Have A Plan) Spare time will kill you.
All you need is 45 minutes before the show starts and you’re in trouble.
If your goal is to worship God with your relationship and life you need to start planning.
• Date in Groups
But don't group date with others that don't have that focus of purity.
Group date with Christians that are willing to hold you responsible. If not it will just be a couples make out session.
• Stay away from “alone time”
How many still think renting movies is a good idea?
Home by yourselves is a bad idea, you’re going to mess up. Even if your parents let you have the living room to watch movies.
1 Corinthians
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
He gives you away of escape, but some wait till it’s too late, you’ve missed it.
Plan ahead listen to the advice
• Don’t ditch your friends
Everyone’s cool till all you do is give all your time/attention to this one person
• Don’t ditch your family
They care about you and want to have a relationship with you also.
Your boyfriend or girlfriend might be part of your family one day let your parents get to know them now.
• Walk with Jesus & Let God complete you
The reason marriages aren’t working is because people think there is a person out there that will complete them, we have emptiness in our lives and were looking for someone to complete us. God never attend for someone to complete you, that is what He does. When He fills your heart you can poor that into someone.
So before you get into a relationship you have to be willing to walk with Jesus.
Your own personal relationship with Christ; not the youth groups Jesus, not the minister’s Jesus, your own Jesus. You have to seek out that relationship.
Suggestions of Letting God Complete You
James: 1
Philippians 4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Galatians 6:7-10
Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let's not get tired of doing good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone - especially to those in the family of faith.
Feed Your spirit: Fellowship / Worship / Time with God / Ministry
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
THEREFORE HONOR GOD WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS WELL
