Dating and relationships
What we really should be asking is not how far can we go, How old should I be, who should I hook up with.
What we really should be asking is How has God made us to love and pursue these kinds of relationships.
Definition: What is Love really?
Feeling or emotion?
Puppies?
Desire?
Choice with substance?

Adultery: Any Sexual activity (Including Lust) with anyone other than your current wife or husband
Defining Husband or wife - God’s Clear plan from the beginning in establishing maleness and femaleness and genders is that sex would only happen between members of the opposite sex.
Means: Marriage or Singleness
Eph 5:22-33
Goal: God’s Glory & Our Good
Singleness and Marriage are God’s gifts to us for our Good
If Single use your freedom to the glory and purposes of God.
Rely on God for the self control and holiness needed to enjoy this good gift.
If Married Use your relationship to the glory and purposes of God.
Rely on God for the self control and holiness needed to enjoy this good gift.
Sex is a powerfully good gift to cement a marriage relationship emotionally, spiritually and physically for the good of the couple and future family that it may create.
It is not love for God, yourself or others to consume sex upon your own appetite.
Going outside of God’s good definitions and boundaries leads to hurt, regret, & sin in your emotional, physical and spiritual life.
Because sex (and all that surrounds it) is such a powerfully good gift from God… Enjoy it only as God intends
