You're acting like an unsafe person which talks about STDs and want to we hear a lot about AIDS but we don't talk about syphilis and gonorrhea and herpes guys. If the girl so stinking selfish that she would sleep with you.

She's probably been the selfish in somebody else's been with somebody else. Same thing for the guys girls by the way girls for guidance system be involved physically with you, he doesn't love you. He loves himself. He said he ran how do you know if you truly love somebody you will never ever do anything to hurt that person flee fornication every man sins amendment without the body he to commit fornication sins against his own body and my mind I'm thinking I'm gonna run out of time. I know, but this is such a burden because I am in office when you guys come and cry Surinder Blewitt. You can choose your sin but you cannot choose the consequences of your sin. Got it and and you lose all confidence. I decide I don't in hardly other than you look at the Scripture, God tells us what to do been bought with a price just love each enough to double date tripled legal groups of 50 or 6200.

We need to stay don't have to do this until okay to get if you go home, girls your boyfriend is like really big time want to be involved. I'm not being mean the guys you have to be honest, if you want to be involved physically. You can market down what is watching and thinking.

When it's all by himself as a never starts in the mind. It doesn't come out in the body and I'm telling you involved physically as a pet sin and it will become a killer monster.

No one is ever gotten pregnant contracted an STD contemplated abortion are broken. The parents heart by keeping their hands off of each other, refusing to be physically involved. No one one more nobody else knew my likes talk about drinking either to the kid comes like 50 men you can't come to me that the wind that Jesus made was nonalcoholic said dude hello due on 15 your parents when you drink. That's why what I'm asking you camp through my stats I will you 15 your parents I drink children, obey your parents get out here. The way I can't prove you I wasn't there. I'm not that old.

Okay, I have been told that it was alcoholic but yet a drink like 70 gallons in one day.

In order to get drunk from it. Okay is not to question but all usually start drinking because you will be accepted as nothing do with the alcohol will be like to love except I will be loved and want to have friends and these friends you go to the party anytime they can drink the Belgians can hold it or maybe a pretend and touch my lips.

With that in just because it makes me a little bit cool, and so forth. God has a lot to say about this sometime you look at these passages in Isaiah.

Even the word will whoa this is like that. This has consequences with no sorrow broken hearts contentions babbling fighting those that are consumed with alcohol when to start drinking and you say yes to your friends. It's almost impossible to say no.

The next time find on anyone except anyone laugh at you is bigger and stronger before you know you drinking by yourself. Nobody else is around. I promise it will cost but never preached this message when I met somebody one argue with me. They didn't grow up like I did as raised by my grandparents. My grandfather was a very, very heavy drinker so you and argue first of all, I don't want to tell one of her counselors named him Zona Christians family is parent subacute to get his Fortino brother drunk on Christmas Eve.

Got some hard liquors getting drinking. We fell sleep. They went to bed to one another room. He couldn't stand it but the middle night he heard a strange noise.

He went back in the living room. His brother was so drunk he was laying on his back vomiting. He would've suffocated himself. If Tim had been rolling over domestic truly Julie said ran the wild is my favorite favorite place all year round. I look forward to for six months and then I remember all the fun I had for six months to get to Bob Jones University and a friend in it. Literally certification with her dad and led her dad to the Lord start sharing the book of Psalms together. She was home for little sister's graduation party.

She said it ran we walked across the road where the party was nurse at the barn, we heard a strange noise in the truck comes flying around the corner to drunken teenage boys all remembers dad pushing me against the bank. They hit my dad and I raced over and grabbed his head.

He smiled at me and he died and within context Juno 72% of all aggravated rapes are alcohol related. Honestly, no one is ever gotten drunk destroying their own lives along with many others by refusing to take the first drink 1135 I want to finish with this. I want to teach you three words.
