ALL ABOUT TEENS

This is the perfect example of how not to keep a date pure. The following are the ways of avoiding selves into temptation;
1. Purpose
First of all, be like Daniel, who proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. Make the decision now to be sexually pure. It’s so much harder to do when you’re in a steamy situation. Also, find out if your date is “with you” on the sexual purity thing. If not you probably won’t be the one to change his or her mind.


2. Plan
Plan for sexual purity. If your purpose is to remain pure, skipping school with other couples who are planning to have sex is not a good idea. Keeps the lights on. Hang with people who have the same goals as you do. (1 Corinthians 15:33). Absolutely, positively leave alcohol and rugs alone. Thirteen percent of teens say they did something sexual while using drugs or alcohol that they wouldn’t have done if they were sober. Play games, have fun-there’s nothing like a good belly laugh!
3. Protect
Protect your purity at all costs.” Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable” (Philippians 4:8).
Never go alone to the home/dorm room/living area of your date. Never watch love stories/suggestive movies with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Never look at pornography in any form alone with company.
4. Prepare
Prepare for temptation by submitting yourself and your feelings to God. You were created to desire and enjoy sex within marriage. But you don’t have to have sex because you “feel” like it.” Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). Just remember, you’ll have to run from the devil before he runs from you.
5. Pray
Pray for strength:”God will never let you down; he’ll always be there to help you come through it” (Corinthians 10:13). Pray for wisdom: (If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5)
Pray for forgiveness if you mess up: “Blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:9,10)
