How Do You Prep for Love?

     The little blue pill will give you the confidence to "Prep for love" and avoid contracting a deadly disease. If your personal actions require you to take a pill to keep you from getting something deadly, do you think maybe you shouldn't be involved in that activity?


     
     If I have to take a pill for disease prevention, then maybe I should examine my sexual habits. Is it really love or physical lust? Condoms and pills don't protect the heart. Most people feel used after a relationship breaks up and they gave their body away. Sexual abuse is rampant; one in three girls and one in five boys are victims of sexual abuse. Pornography is addictive and destructive. Over 50% of those who are involved in the production of pornography were abused as children. Love wasn't meant to be something to cause shame. If you are viewing porn you're just as guilty as the abusers because you are approving of their abusive productive. You are helping to spread the abuse of  women and children.

       The little blue pill is another way of making cheap sex safe. I suppose you can feel safe in your own cocoon of shame. "Don't awaken love until it's ready." That's a Bible verse from the Song of Solomon - a love story. God designed love and sex to be an act of unity. Passionate and uncontrollable love-making is an act of intimate trust. If you have to put your trust in a little blue pill, you might as well tell the little blue pill all of your problems and fears. Will you confide in a little blue pill manufactured by folks who desire to make money?

     The sign in the picture above is in front of a church. The church teaches about the love of Christ. Do you think that someday you will be able to stop at a church and get a Jesus Pill to "Prep for eternity?" Nope, Jesus already prepped you for eternity by sacrificing His life for you. You can sacrifice some of your physical temptations until you are ready for love. A fireplace is designed to hold a fire that warms your house. If you take the fire out of the fireplace and put it in the middle of the bedroom, you will burn your house down. Love is meant for the fireplace of marriage.

"One final word, friends. We ask you—urge is more like it—that you keep on doing what we told you to do to please God, not in a dogged religious plod, but in a living, spirited dance. You know the guidelines we laid out for you from the Master Jesus. God wants you to live a pure life.

Keep yourselves from sexual promiscuity.

Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body, not abusing it, as is so common among those who know nothing of God." - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5  The Message
