Grr ........ (girls rel rev!)

Girls night


Scenarios:
---
Tessa and Chris are both thirteen. They like each other and enjoy doing things together like going to the cinema and spending time with their friends. They know that they won’t even think about marriage for ages but people put pressure on them to “go out with each other”.Why is this not helpful to them and what should they do?

Help from the bible:
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh Genesis 2:24
---
Jessica is a Christian girl who is 14. Her best friend has already had lots of boyfriends and she is concerned that she should catch up. After all how will she get ready for marriage if she hasn’t gone out with lots of people. But her friend doesn’t seem to get much out of the relationships, in fact each one is shorter than the last. How would you advise Jessica?

Help from the bible:
Put to death, thererfore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed Colossians 3: 5
---
Rachel goes to Excel and although she is friends with the boys there she can’t imagine going out with any of them ever!! There are lots of non-Christian boys who she can imagine going out with though and she doesn’t know how she will be able to follow God when he says that she should only marry a Christian. What help and advice can you give Rachel? What is one reason that God tells us to marry Christians?

Help from the bible:
Has not the Lord made them on? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. Malachi 2:15

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6 : 14
---
Mary sees sex on TV and everyone seems to be doing it. It doesn’t seem like a big deal and it really just seems to be a normal part of teenage life. Surely it can’t be that serious? She is a Christian and wants to do what pleases God. How would you advise her?

Help from the bible:
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh Genesis 2:24
