New Temptations?

Living in the world but not of the world is a difficult task. The world's morals shift as easily as a leaf in a stream, pulled by the current of popular belief. However, God's standards haven't changed and He expects ours to remain in place as well, especially on per-marital abstinence. While many Christians believe this to be true, CNN reports that 80% of Christian Young Single Adults have participated in per-marital sex. CNN also reports that the average marital age has increased significantly over the years. In biblical times it was in the early teens, now it's in the late twenties. Society has added adolescence between childhood and adulthood, giving time for our bodies to finish growing and developing before expecting responsibility of us. Yet this is a time of confusion and change for us, as well as a time of temptation. With the current average age of marriage, we have added 15 years before abstinence can end appropriately. 15 years of raging hormones, low responsibility and increased temptation. For many, these 15 years of constant hounding form the media and friends turns out to be too much, but a few are able to respect themselves and wait.
