And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. I mentioned a few minutes ago that our thoughts about sex are sometimes so loud in our head, we can't even think straight, just like Steve and Paula in the drama seen a few minutes ago. In 1991, the universities of the Big Ten estimated that one out of every eight women on their campuses will be the victim of rape or attempted rape, not in their lifetime, but that year. Another extremely strong force is the media. We now have access to soft pornography on non-cable airwaves.
Pornography is available on cable without being on a pay channel.
Both boys and girls are considered weird in our culture if they are still virgins at age eighteen. So it should be no surprise that over 70 percent of young men and women have had intercourse before that age. Voices from our brokenness Not only is our culture screaming in our ear constantly that we are sexual beings, and giving us improper sexual definitions, but there is a strong voice screaming inside us also. We'll talk more about this in a minute, but we were created by God to want love and to express our sexuality in a way that affirms who you are. Our intense need for love.
