The Brazil Turleys have been busy teaching some very special classes at Christian Academy, Louisville, KY. First, we spoke in two elementary chapels, then two mission classes. Then we had an opportunity to speak in five senior bible classes about one of our very "fav" topics, SEX.

That's right, we encourage all young people to abstain from sex until that special day called marriage. Without preaching a sermon we share how soooooo many have come to us here in the US and Brazil, some wanting to commit suicide, because of the guilt, shame, and depression that is caused by "going all the way" before they were ready to go even a little.

How is it that modern day man/woman thinks that just because we have the pill, or the day after, or abortion, or other technological and medical advances that we have the right to break "God given" codes of conduct. Are we so naive to believe that depression, anger, guilt, shame, and other emotional, physical, and even physiological problems are NOT caused because we broke God's codes. We may have an antidote, or a vaccine, or a cure for a number of things, but my research shows that depression and suicide among teens is on the rise, and that there is not any medical, nor social cure for that. We are convinced that one of the only ways to turn the depression/anger/guilt/shame/and yes, even suicide tides running rampant in this society is to guard what has been reserved for a marriage commitment, that is, SEX ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE. P.S. That includes all shapes/forms/and fashions of sex as well.
