Title: Women and Sexuality
Topic: Sexual Purity
Discussed by Chelsen Vicari
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Part 1 of 2
After hearing complaints about the poor treatment of campus rape
victims and the hidden nature of such crimes, President Barack Obama has
appointed a task force comprised of his Cabinet members to review the issue.
Chelsen Vicari says that males, from an early age, must be taught the value of
women. Parents should not only discourage their sons from looking at
pornography, but should openly discuss the reason why.
In the same way, parents should instill values or virtue and purity in their
daughters. Young men are not the only effected by pornography; even teenage and
college-age girls are encouraged to explore their sexuality by viewing
pornography. Also, society today puts such a heavy emphasis on sexuality and the need to be accepted that young girls become confused over what is right and what is wrong to do in a relationship.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Women and Sexuality
Topic: Sexual Purity
Discussed by Chelsen Vicari
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Marriage today is
not viewed as a holy, life-long commitment, even within religious and Christian
communities. The divorce rate among couples who affiliate with
some form of “religion” – Christians, Catholics, Jews – is nearly as appalling
as couples who do not.
Does that mean that one out of every two marriages is absolutely doomed for
failure? Not at all. According to Chelsen Vicari, we, as a society (not just “Christians”), need to shift our focus back to purity.
Will there still be sex-related crime? Will there still be divorce? I would hope
not, but the fact remains that we are an imperfect society filled with
temptations, lust, and hate. Only when we turn back to God will America rise up
again.

Title: Costly Toll on the Soul
Topic: Sexual Purity
Discussed by Bart Gingerich
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Part 1 of 3
The issue of sex is not an easy topic to discuss.
But it is, none the less, a
very important topic that must be addressed, especially to teens and
college-aged Christians.
According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and
Unplanned Pregnancy, 80 percent of unmarried Evangelicals between 18 and 29 have
engaged in sex before marriage. No one disputes the temptation is out there.
But, how can we help our teens and college kids to resist that temptation?

Many young Evangelicals are
trying to lower the sexual moral code standard to fit their own desires. Sexual
purity is not an old-fashioned notion. It is a Biblical command. When a pastor
preachers a sermon on sexual purity, you can hear a pin drop in the sanctuary.
Everyone knows that being sexual immoral is a sin, but they just don’t want to
hear about it.

Sexual immorality
does not only effect the young, unmarried teens and 20-somethings.
Men and women who have been married for 10, 20, 30, 40 years can still
struggle with sexual sins. But God has an answer and there is help out there!
