If you are wondering, yes, the title is an Anberlin song.
If you are wondering, yes, God made sex.
If you are wondering, yes, God made sex exclusively for marriage
I have had a purity ring since my 16th birthday. A purity ring is a pledge between you and God to not have sex until you say "I do" with your spouse. Do you think you can"grow out" of a promise to God?
That's what Nick Jonas recently said when he lost his virginity to his Miss America girlfriend. He is all bragging that he lost it, when him and his two brothers (sons of a pastor might I add) went very public about wearing purity rings and even released their own line of them. Nick and Joe both bragged about when they lost theirs. Kevin is the only remaining one with boundaries, in my opinion.
You can't grow out of God. When you grow up, you don't give up on God. So many celebrities have done that (Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus to name a couple more).
God gave you this life.
God gave you His only Son's life.
He can take your life away with the snap of His finger.
I will admit that I have and still do struggle with sexual desires (I mean I'm a 20 year old guy, come on). I have looked at Porn. I have masturbated. I struggle with lust. I have tried to get away from those addictions because they are not of God, they are of this world. There was a point earlier this year that I was off Porn for a month (A WHOLE MONTH) but then I got my heartbroken and in short, Porn is how I deal with depression. Its obviously not the best way because its defiling my mind. Wanting me to lose my virginity all the more. I have never had a girl friend or been kissed or all that jazz, so obviously the temptation of sex has not arose. When God introduces me to that very special lady, though, I will make sure she knows that I have a purity ring and am not going to have sex in our relationship until we are married.
It's not that hard to stay a virgin till marriage. I have read stories of couples who have went on vacation together. They slept in the same bed. But guess what they DIDN'T do? Have sex. So it obviously isn't hard to stay a virgin if you were literally cuddling in bed all night with your significant other and never once did you ask them to have sex.
If I look over and see a girl wearing a purity ring, it is really attractive to me. She doesn't necessarily have to be the most attractive girl (to the world) but if she is wearing that it means she pledged to God to stay a virgin till marriage just like me. Don't just do it because its trending or to become popular either. Make sure it is a pledge between you and God. Otherwise, the ring is useless. Then wear it until it is to be replace by your wedding ring.
Until Next Time, Alex
