"Now the birth of Jesus was on this wise: when his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." - Matthew 1:18
This man and lady were already booked to be married, everyone knew they would but they kept themselves waiting for the acceptable night as it should.
Friends let us not be carried away by the signs of this generation, the principles of God still remain the same.
These days young girls and boys confidently tell their parents they have boy friends and girl friends, and all the parent says is "be careful o" without pressing further to secure them.
Parents let's wake up, the fact that you made a mistake doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to guide your children aright. If anything your children shouldn't make the same mistakes you made.
I have heard people say parents shouldn't be over protective, PLEASE BE OVERPROTECTIVE!
I don't blame young people for hanging around dark corners at night, no, I blame the parents. Where are the parents when one dirty boy is fondling their daughter? Many parents now trust their wards so much that they don't even ask them about their movements when they go out.
Parents of boys are even more guilty, they say they are boys the worst cannot be bad. They can continue schooling etc, EXCUSE ME! The question of virginity is first one of PURITY and GODLY LIVING not of social beliefs.
Prevention is better than cure, the dangers of premarital sex are still terribly heartbreaking and disgraceful. If we as parents were LUCKY enough to escape its chaos when we indulged ourselves, let's be grateful to God but let's PROTECT and COUNSEL our children aright.
God had to use a virgin to transport salvation to the world, that's how serious this topic is. He could easily have used an old woman but He didn't, He could have used a married woman but He didn't, He could have used anybody BUT He decided to use a virgin!
Let's DESIRE it for our children, let's PRAY for them and let's be WATCHFUL of their movements. Let's be Christian parents!
Shalom.
