Where to draw the line in intimacy before marriage?

I'm in a serious relationship and it's difficult for me to tell whether my wanting to remain pure is the whole motivation for saying no to my guy in the intimacy department (besides sex) or if I'm just being selfish and don't want to deal with the hassle of him wanting a service.

HI there,

I am new here.. I am a divorced 45 year old woman.. who is on a journey of healing from many things in her life.. and looking to be pure in all ways of my life and to know the Lord and his word, so that I may be able to go forth and share with others, especially women.

I pray that the Lord give you the strength to remain pure in all ways.

Believe you me, the love and affection that you get from the Lord and by honoring the Lord in all ways, is much greater than a moment's worth of any form of sexual doing.

May you be uplifted and kept strong and the Lord will provide the strength from this temptation.

Faithwoman

I cannot remember who it was but on of the folks at CFS once said something like this:
If you wouldn't do it in front of your Pastor or your mom don't o it. This is an excellent guideline for purity.

Think to yourself: What are laws? And what are suggestions?

I wish more people would think about this, especially out on the road. You see a lot of people pulling up to stop-signs full-force, slow, and then keep on going.

It's a law...come to a complete stop when you see the red octagon. It's not a suggestion. We should feel guilty when we don't obey this law of society. The police will probably never catch every single person who breaks this law.

What are some of the things that God has said about this? Are they laws? Or just suggestions?

God has installed cameras at all His stop signs, and He holds everyone accountable who breaks His laws.

I've heard that before and it's pretty good. Also, if you wouldn't do it in the presence of Jesus Christ, don't do it.
