READ: Colossians 2:20-22
- Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
- (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
- Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 7-9, John 13:1-38
MESSAGE:
In the world of today, there is sexual perversion. Christian teenagers must take a stand for sexual purity. It is Gods desire that you remain sexually pure until marriage. I know that you are experiencing hormonal surges and feelings which may be responsible for some desires. However, as a Christian, you are dead to sin.
Why would you sit in the lap of a member of the opposite sex all in the name of socializing or agree to go on unmonitored trips with him or her without informing your parents or guardian? Why would you stay behind closed doors with the opposite sex and think that no evil would happen? If you are truly a child of God, issues of kissing, necking, romancing or premarital sex would not be acceptable to you. I marvel when young people ask questions on these issues. Can you boldly do any of that before your earthly parent or pastor? If not, wait till you get married and if you’re already in an unholy relationship, please call it off now. Repent of your secret sins and determine not to go back to your vomit. Gods stand on sexual sins will never change. Say no to impurity.
KEY POINT:
Anything beyond a handshake or side hug may eventually lead to sin. Flee all appearances of evil.
HYMN 2: All To Jesus I Surrender
- All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
CHORUS
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
- All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
