The Teen Writer's Devotional

Let's talk about sex

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Proverbs 5:15-19 15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern,and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad,and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own,and not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Apply this to your life: The Bible clearly says that sex outside of marriage is wrong. We all know this, so don't do it. I posted one example of a verse just in case you need to see it.

I want to focus on the second passage. A lot of people think Christians think sex is a bad thing. I've had plenty of friends ask me, "What are you going to do on your wedding night?" because they assume that I think sex is bad because I'm saving it for marriage.

I don't think that. I believe what the Bible says: sex outside of marriage is BAD, but sex in marriage is GOOD! God has blessed us with sex as a thing to make marriage great.

Apply this to your writing: If at all possible, you should avoid your characters have premarital sex. Married characters can have sex. Don't get me wrong, don't go into detail and make porn and think it's okay because they are married.

I just mean that it's not wrong if they do something, but I WOULD NOT write about it in any kind of detail....

Yeah, this was so awkward.... I just felt like it needed to be said.
