Pornography is not harmless or private. It quietly shapes sexual expectations, damages intimacy, and rewires the brain for instant gratification. Let’s understand its impact to helps us avoid the damage.
Noncommittal sex isn’t loving. It carries terrible risks and does damage. Waiting until marriage isn’t just a religious ideal—it’s a safeguard for emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being for you and everyone around you.
Life is not just your own. Each decision you make affects the people who love and depend on you. True stewardship means treating your life as a responsibility, not just personal ownership—aiming for the best choices, setting meaningful goals, and considering the impact of your actions on those around you.
Sex is a powerful force—it can deepen your bond in beautiful ways or create lasting harm if approached selfishly. Understanding how to navigate dating and physical intimacy with care, respect, and intention is essential for building a relationship that honors both partners and aligns with God’s design.
Whether you like it or not, people make judgments based on appearance. The way you dress, groom, and carry yourself sends a message, so, people around you aren’t being “judgy” when they interpret this message. They’re doing what humans are programmed to do.
Many cultural “fences” — from marriage to free speech — didn’t arise by accident. What do we lose when we tear them down? They endured because they offered value, and once destroyed, they are rarely rebuilt.
