I Just Created A Squidoo Lense...

What's squidoo? Is it sinful or contagious? No.

Month Of Sex - You Won't Believe This

I haven't posted in awhile. I got caught up with too many things: ministry, writing, etc. Anyway, sorry!

In my last post I told you I would tell you the boldest thing we did when I was a youth pastor and taught students abstinence every July.

For the first gathering of the month we taught them WHY they should wait until they're married to have sex.

We wanted to encourage them to wait, but be realistic that not all people do, so here's what we did...

We interviewed people in our church on video and asked them this question:

***Did you wait until you were married to have sex?

• If they answered, "Yes," we asked them why they were glad they did.
• If they answered, "No," we asked them why they wished they would've waited.

Their answers were so real and sooo powerful! I would encourage you to take a month a teach on abstinence. Let parents know you'll be teaching on this subject, so they can choose whether they want their kid their.

Then go for it!

Teach them why to wait and how to wait. Have an open discussion night (See previous post for details.)

I'll post the steps we taught them on HOW to wait next time. Stay tuned!
