In a world where some thought leaders are aggressively promoting sexual recklessness, many counter-culture girls who've listened to what God says on the matter and have observed with their own eyes the vast ripple effects of sexual recklessness have come to the realization that sexual purity is best for the well-being of their souls, their bodies and their minds.  They've set their standards in a place that is way different than the rest of the self- destructive modes of the world at present. It's not about shame. It's not about being appreciative of this gift God has given. It's about considering sex as so incredibly holy, symbolic, sacred and priceless that they save all sexual experiences for their soul mate for life --- their husband. 

More power to you, Girls.  In support of you, today I'm going to share 18 practical strategies help you meet that goal.  

Side note: Here's an Idea: If everyone chose this, it would raise the standard of living for the very poorest, and every taxpayer. My idea would ensure that virtually every child has all the emotional, financial and spiritual advantages that come along with having both a mom and a dad. It would eventually vacate orphanages. My idea would remove the strain of the foster care system. In fact, it would end child molestation and prevent every future case of sex trafficking and exploitation. My idea would save us the $16 billion we spend annually treating the 20 million new STD infections.  (Then we could put the savings to research in curing heart disease, cancer and diabetes – the leading causes of death for around 3 million people every year!) My idea could wipe out AIDS in one generation --- an expenditure that averages $380,000 per case over a lifetime and the new 40,000 cases annually.  My idea would unintentionally result in the replacement of every strip club and porn shop from coast to coast with businesses that actually improve our communities. Noble  businesses could recoup the estimated $16.9 billion in  productivity they presently lose when they think their employees are working, but they are really watching porn. My idea would even lower the divorce rate.  It would end the abortion debate because my idea would virtually end abortion. The positive ripple effects of my idea are immeasurable and incalculable. My idea is this: What if instead of using sex recreationally like it’s nothing, we considered it so incredibly holy, symbolic, sacred and priceless that we only had sexual experiences with our spouse, and further, saved all unprotected sex for when we were actually planning a family together. Sounds crazy, right? It WOULD be crazy… if we were merely animals. But the thing is, we are actually… human. beings. And this idea has worked quadtriplezillion times throughout history and makes for a culture beautifully safe and happy, especially when coupled with the other virtues the Inventor of humanity mandates (like gentleness over violence, humility over pride, contentment over greed). My idea works because it wasn’t my idea.  It is the Creator’s idea (Romans 13; 1 Corinthians 7). But despite the fact I’ve probably never had a brilliant original idea in my life, some would not have read this far if they knew I'd be talking about His brilliant idea, because they've stopped listening to Him......Which is exhibit A of why we are where we are today --- on the brink. God has all the answers. We just need to work them.
