We live in a time that both glorifies and dehumanizes sex in ways that are very destructive–especially young people. In this incredibly honest article, my friend Lee Grady gives some straight talk on living pure in the midst of a fornicating culture.  Parents – talk with your kids about these important issues and set a good example to them. Young people – think carefully about the concepts that are contained is this story–your future happiness may depend on it. All of you - forward this article to that specific friend of yours who could benefit from its wisdom.  “Blessed are the pure in heart. They will see God” (Matthew 5:8).

You don’t have to compromise with our sex-saturated culture. By God’s grace you can stay in the sexual safety zone.
