Dating, Kissing, Sex & Marriage

One of the most important things in life that you can teach your children is to refrain from intimacy and sex until after marriage. Why? In the first place because God intended it that way. Second, because every time you are intimate or have sex, the person spiritually leaves something of themselves behind, such as lust, hatred, jealousy, fears, illnesses, depression, poverty, adversity, and all the other bad things you can think of. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to be intimate and have sex with only one person in your life, so that you can be sure that only good spiritual things are left behind. This is a wisdom that has unfortunately been lost for the most part. We can all do our part to protect our children by passing on this lost wisdom to them.

Most believers say that masturbating is a sin, some say that it is not a sin if you have a clear mind (without thoughts), others say that it is fine if it is within marriage and you do not see your partner for a long time. The truth is that masturbation is always a sin because it is self-centered. Self-centeredness is defined as "immoderate concern with one's own interests and well-being; self-love or egotism." The Bible tells us "people who are self-centered aren't able to please God" (Romans 8:8). Self-centeredness is a sin because it leads to being devoted to self-gratification and overlooking other people's needs (Romans 2:8; James 3:16).

If your marriage is not aligned to complement each other in order to do God's work with excellence, you are unequally yoked.

Always put Jesus first, then your husband/wife and then your children,
in exactly this order.
