The girls had been talking about 'boyfriends' and 'doing it'. This conversation had be going on for a while and she was very impressed by the worldliness of her friends. Spring break came for them and they did not see each other until first day of school The young girl wanted to announce what she had done. She had found 3 boys that she kinda knew; and managed to have sex with them. She lost her virginity with guilty and shame. When she told her friends, "I did it". They asked what are you talking about? She affirmed that following their example, she went out and found some boys to go along with her plan. Her friends looks at her in stultification. You WHAT?? We have never done that, it was just talk!! How could you, why would you? So lessons learned, what we do may do does not match we say. So even hollow words can impact a young girl or boy. I worked with this young lady after that had happened. She was terribly sad and disappointed in herself and her friends. I told her it was done, but tomorrow was another day. And she could make amends and put forth the values she truly wanted to live. So I encouraged her to pray in her way and to see herself as a good person. Mistakes happen, that does not make our life a Mistake. Take care Cuz. HI Bill: I am reminded by your answer of a young adolescent girl that wanted to be popular and go along with her girlfriends.

The degree of suffering and disappointment resulting from not believing and obeying God, even in just this one area, is staggering. Thank you, Pastor Bill, for this thorough handling of the subject.

You are such a wise person and you always do your homework before answering questions as serious as this one is. Thank you for the up-front, straight-forward, honest answers. It was not me who asked this question, but it is me who is grateful that you posted it and your answers! It is my hope that every teenager in Napa will read this blog before they make a decision to rush into pre-marital sex with the wrong partner, out of wedlock, or just because their friends are doing it... I also hope and pray that young engaged couples will read this too. Our God is a good and just God. He always blesses us. Thanks again Pastor Bill. Thank you for posting this blog, Pastor Bill.
