Purity Class

     As a nurse, Debbie Wilson has seen first hand the trauma that can happen when people choose to ignore Biblical principles of purity and chastity.  We live in a culture that teaches people to do what feels right now and forget about the consequences, especially when it comes to sex.  This sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind leaves a path of destruction through our churches from the youth, to the lay-person to the Leadership. For many years now, Debbie has felt a burden to not let the consequences of pre-marital and extra-marital sex go ignored.  To that goal she has developed a program to overcome ignorance with truth. 

   Her course is open to those in 7th grade and up.  It covers the biological workings of our bodies; various sexually transmitted diseases and their consequences; and various forms of birth-control and "protection" making certain to point out the fact that no form of protection other than abstinance before marriage and 100 percent monogamy inside of marriage is completely effective in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases or preventing unwed pregnancy.  The attendants are encouraged to make a pledge of purity from that point until marriage.

Myths of Being Single

Single adults are lonely - It is true that some single adults are lonely, but it certainly does not take being single to be lonely. The loneliest person in your hometown is not a single adult, but a married adult who is in a terrible marriage!

Single adults want to get married - Some single adults do want to marry, as would married adults if they were single! I would rather they look in a church with a ministry to single adults, however, than in the world. Chances of finding a dedicated Christian are usually higher!

Single men are irresponsible - Some are; then again, some married men are also! It does not take being single to be irresponsible. Just talk to the wives of some of the married men in your city.
