cac94a0 "Failure to put the relationship on a slower timetable may result in an act that was never intended in the first place. Another important principle is to avoid the circumstances where compromise is likely. A girl who wants to preserve her virginity should not find herself in a house or dorm room alone with someone to whom she is attracted. Nor should she single-date with someone she has reason not to trust. A guy who wants to be moral should stay away from the girl he knows would go to bed with him. Remember the words of Solomon to his son, "Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house" (Proverbs 5:8). I know this advice sounds very narrow in a day when virginity is mocked and chastity is considered old-fashioned. But I don't apologize for it. The Scriptures are eternal, and God's standards of right and wrong do not change with the whims of culture. He will honor and help those who are trying to follow His commandments. In fact, the apostle Paul said, "He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear" (1Corinthians 10:13). Hold that promise and continue to use your head. You'll be glad you did." words wrong trying relationship reason trust change who act apostle are attracted away bear beyond can chastity commandments considered continue did door do eternal glad go god-s intended is knows let likely mocked narrow near proberbs remeber scriptures single-date slower sounds stay tempted those very what-you whims whom would you-ll your guy and day you with old-fashioned principle keep may he her compromise bed first never avoid advice should circumstances place not to preserve important use hold result head help alone follow virginity house she culture wants solomon path girl paul moral son be someone will promise honor right failure him standards James C.
