Why Sex Is Been Promoted Everywhere Especially Media, Society, Even Churches.

Dictionary defines fornication as: Sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other, especially when considered as a sin.


Sex outside of marriage (fornication) is having a devastating effect on the world today. Most people, including Christians, choose to ignore God's instructions concerning this area. A lot of pastors choose to ignore teaching God's instructions and unfortunately society is crumbling under the weight of this sin. Many people make their own rules as to what is okay and what is not okay. 

Everywhere you look in our society today, people are promoting sex. A short trip to the grocery store, restaurant, ball game, gas station, etc often presents you with some display of lustfulness in advertisements and the way people dress. It's even hard to avoid it in the privacy of your own home because it is all over television. If you attempt to watch a basketball game, the cameras will catch shots of the cheerleaders and dancing girls who are barely dressed. If you watch a sit-com, expect to find some reference (verbally or physically) to immoral sexual behavior. Even if you watch the news, you are almost guaranteed so see a commercial that is using sex to grab your attention. And what is very sad, this behavior has found its way into the church, In any given worship service, you can expect to see a woman wearing tight revealing pants, dresses, and low-cut tops. It is common now to see several unwed pregnant women in church. And there seems to be no concern to correct this behavior. 

Society says that a real single man tries to "get" with as many women as he possibly can. If a man practices abstinence, society labels him as gay or something must be wrong with him. I can personally say that I suffered a lot of ridicule while growing up due to practicing abstinence. One might expect that the mocking came from guys. But I would say that 95% of the ridiculing came from females. They would make joke after joke and often said I was not a real man. A poll was recently taken and women were asked if they wanted to marry a virgin or a man who is sexually experienced. Well over 50% of the women answered that they wanted the experienced man.

Even though society is more accepting of a woman that attempts to remain pure until marriage, she still often gets labeled as a "miss goody two shoes". Other females will often push her out as an outsider and she has to deal with the loneliness of being rejected by her peers along with rejection from most men that want nothing to do with her if she is not "giving it up".

Society says you do not buy a pair of shoes without first trying them on. For anyone not familiar with the saying, it simply means they will not marry a person until they first see how he or she is in bed. People think that by doing this, they can avoid incompatibility in marriage. But statistics show that only 2% of couples who waited until marriage for sex end up in divorce. While over 50% of couples who did not wait end up in divorce. Why the difference? Because mankind does not have the wisdom that God has. When man creates his own rules that contradict God's commandments, failure should always be expected. As we are about to see, this mentality goes directly against God's word. But unfortunately that is the current condition of our society.
