MAELE 23:29-35SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

– Sex a touchy subject
 Sex is on the collective minds of most people. There is very little that deters us from engaging in sex, whether it is in a stable, long-term relationship or with a succession of partners. As a Christian, you need to be very clear on where you stand in this regard.

The Bible gives definite guidelines about promiscuity. Yet the Bible is very open about the physical attraction between two people in love. Make a point of reading the Song of Songs, a whole book of poetry in praise of love.

However, as with all good things in life, there is a condition attached.

– Mind the pitfalls
 There is no reason for any sensible person with a reasonable amount of common sense to dread life. But be aware of things that can rob you of your joy and innocence.

– Pornography – a deadly virus
 Pornography is as old as mankind itself but with modern communication media it has spread to the point where nothing is sacred and even the most innocent among us are tainted. The Bible doesn’t spare its words in condemning sexual immorality:

– Be “drug and drink” smart
 There is no such thing as smart drugs or liquor, despite what TV ads tell you. They make fools of even the smartest people. Yet drinking and taking drugs seem to be part and parcel of today’s social scene.

Acknowledge that there might be people in your circle of friends, co-workers or even family who drink or take drugs. Accept that they have made their choice and you’ve made yours. Choose to surround yourself with people that can have fun without using drugs and alcohol to get high.

– Drunk is not cool
 The Bible often speaks about the effects of alcohol abuse which apply equally to drug abuse. The author of Proverbs warns that.
