MYTHBUSTERS: SEX EDITION WEEK 3

We had another great week this week as we looked deep into the whole concept of dating and what Satan is telling us about dating, boundaries, and the consequences. Satan throws a ton of myths at us about what dating is, what dating can lead us to, and how dating can lead us to places we never end to go to. The dangers of dating are emotional, physical, and mental pain that we can not put a price tag on and can not understand until we experience the pain. We talked about that for most people we want to just feel loved and feel that someone anyone loves us. Unfortunately in our world the three words of I LOVE YOU have been abused, misused, and over used. In our teen world so many people are willing to let our boundaries, our limits go, just so someone will utter the words, I LOVE YOU. We have to help people see, experience the power of God’s love and what that really means – no manipulation, no selfish motives, no conditions. We have to encourage our students, our world to see God’s love and experience it to the fullest.

So far in this series, we have had a ton of great conversation and have had a chance to think about a lot of myths that Satan throws our way. Something that I am surprised about is that for the first week in the student ministry here at Southridge we had more guys than girls in our middle and high school ministry. Out of the nearly 200 students we had over 100 of them were guys. Awesome stuff, wandering why guys are being attracted to talking about sex and the 21st century. What do you think?
