His Best for You
By Billy Graham • June 6
. . . do the good things that result from being saved, obeying God . . .
—Philippians 2:12 (TLB)
It takes no poll for those of us who have communicated with young people to know the devastation that permissive sexual activity generally causes. It becomes a cancer in the bodies and minds and characters of those who indulge, almost without exception. And there are other victims, such innocent bystanders as parents, grandparents, old family friends, teachers, and advisers, all much more concerned than you can understand. They want only the best for you. Anything less than a happy marital voyage gives them pain. The wisdom of their years says that premarital relations are always a mistake.
The Bible teaches that God created sex. He made “male and female.” Then it says, “God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.” This included the natural sexual attraction between the man and woman He had created. Therefore, sex is not sin! It is God’s gift to the human race. It is for procreation; for enjoyment within the bonds of matrimony; for the fulfillment of married love.

Prayer for the day
All the gifts You have given us are to be enjoyed, within the structure of Your commandments, heavenly Father. Keep me always conscious of Your teachings.
The very root of your writing while appearing reasonable at first, did not sit well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you would do nicely to fill in those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I would definitely end up being impressed.
