Though he doesn't know, I have very strong feelings for one of my good friends. I wish it was something I could wholeheartedly lift up to God, but I know a part of me wants to hold on and "hope." This discussion really stirred me to re-evaluate my interactions with the opposite sex, but I don't know how to safeguard my heart from being emotionally impure.

However, we must keep in mind: Satan's goal is to warp every good thing God has made. Such a statement of complacency is exactly where He wants all of us. Let us trust the Lord, his word and the "real word", not the world; the truth of the Bible and the confirmation God gives us in our hearts and lives that sex outside of marriage is wrong. Let us have such a fear of God and a desire to obey Him that our hearts want to do this for Him. This sin can cause millions of unseen issues in our heart, even though it may appear harmless to the world. Satan rejoices that everyone thinks it's no big deal. I pray that we all have that conviction and do not take it sex so lightly. We need to keep in mind our treasure in Heaven and naturally, God will bless us if we honor Him in that way.

It's really sad to think that relationships are cultured around the physicalities when it should be around God. I feel like my whole life is based around this one concept because I've been hurt so many times, but I have faith.

If i'm willing to wait till marriage it's proof of self-control and she'll never have to worry if I might slip up since if i'm willing to wait with someone I love why would I cheat with someone I don't love.

From wanting the latest I-phone, the trendy clothes on the market, to yearning for our “special” someone to come into our lives, and to sex. I believe the cure all to these things is to basically be content with what you have and to give your all to God and realize that he does have a plan for each and every one of us. Easier said than done don’t get me wrong, and trust me we all struggle with this. But through our relationship with God, having fellow brothers and sisters in our lives, an amazing RH family, and a Life Group if you are in one, we too can defeat this challenge we all face every day.

In those instances, its difficult for me to deny such act or steer people away from doing that since as they argue "I'm not just having a one night stand, but sleeping with someone I care about and who cares about me." Other than going to the Bible and stating God's intention and guidelines of sex, I don't really have a "real world" argument about the dangers of such thing...

I don't think it always starts off this way though. Sometimes, a few experiences with people can lead you to start thinking that's all it is. You start to feel like everything can really be reduced down to sexuality, because it's happened to you so often. “A painful road lead[ing] to numbness”, what an interesting statement.

You're practically volunteering so they enjoy having interns. Positions can vary from HR, Marketing, Event Planner, etc... I went to a non-profit event at my school and the speakers said that even if their company doesn't have a job opening, they will do their best to find you a career after your internship. Just go to their site and directly contact the HR rep. Know what you want out of your internship and they'll try and help you.
