00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:27.659
I<00:11:22.940><c> think</c><00:11:23.120><c> we</c><00:11:23.299><c> better</c><00:11:23.460><c> have</c><00:11:23.620><c> a</c><00:11:23.899><c> class</c><00:11:24.240><c> or</c><00:11:24.899><c> a</c><00:11:25.139><c> weekend</c><00:11:25.399><c> for</c><00:11:26.100><c> parents</c><00:11:26.639><c> so</c><00:11:27.259><c> that</c><00:11:27.480><c> we</c>

00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:28.659

00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:30.200
address<00:11:28.860><c> some</c><00:11:29.059><c> of</c><00:11:29.139><c> these</c><00:11:29.299><c> issues,</c><00:11:29.600><c> take</c><00:11:29.779><c> it</c><00:11:30.059><c> easy.</c>

00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:32.820
And<00:11:30.820><c> I</c><00:11:31.220><c> know</c><00:11:31.379><c> that's</c><00:11:31.679><c> the</c><00:11:31.840><c> case.</c>

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:41.860
And<00:11:33.860><c> you</c><00:11:34.019><c> see,</c><00:11:34.240><c> it's</c><00:11:34.279><c> not</c><00:11:34.559><c> that</c><00:11:35.860><c> our</c><00:11:36.679><c> young</c><00:11:36.919><c> people</c><00:11:37.500><c> don't</c><00:11:38.519><c> know</c><00:11:39.019><c> that</c><00:11:39.340><c> something</c><00:11:39.779><c> is</c><00:11:40.639><c> wrong.</c>

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:46.580
I<00:11:42.899><c> think</c><00:11:43.080><c> it</c><00:11:43.240><c> might</c><00:11:43.500><c> well</c><00:11:43.799><c> be</c><00:11:43.960><c> that</c><00:11:44.059><c> they</c><00:11:44.220><c> don't</c><00:11:44.379><c> know</c><00:11:44.600><c> why</c><00:11:45.139><c> it's</c><00:11:45.879><c> wrong</c><00:11:46.299><c> or</c>

00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:48.480
they<00:11:46.779><c> may</c><00:11:46.980><c> not</c><00:11:47.100><c> have</c><00:11:47.279><c> learned</c>

00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:53.519
how<00:11:49.259><c> or</c><00:11:49.620><c> seen</c><00:11:49.820><c> the</c><00:11:50.059><c> need</c><00:11:50.259><c> to</c><00:11:50.580><c> carry</c><00:11:50.980><c> a</c><00:11:51.519><c> reason</c><00:11:51.980><c> for</c><00:11:53.019><c> morality</c>

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.419
and<00:11:53.759><c> sexual</c><00:11:54.200><c> morality</c><00:11:54.980><c> around</c><00:11:55.720><c> with</c><00:11:56.200><c> them</c>

00:11:56.419 --> 00:12:01.960
in<00:11:56.600><c> order</c><00:11:56.759><c> to</c><00:11:56.980><c> maintain</c><00:11:58.080><c> spiritual</c><00:11:59.480><c> discipline</c><00:12:00.240><c> in</c><00:12:01.059><c> these</c><00:12:01.519><c> matters.</c>

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.460
And<00:12:02.639><c> that's</c><00:12:02.759><c> what</c><00:12:02.899><c> we've</c><00:12:03.139><c> got</c><00:12:03.179><c> to</c><00:12:03.320><c> try</c><00:12:03.500><c> and</c><00:12:03.720><c> do.</c>

00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:07.299
Because<00:12:04.679><c> it's</c><00:12:04.860><c> not</c><00:12:05.059><c> enough</c><00:12:05.379><c> anymore</c><00:12:06.039><c> simply</c><00:12:06.500><c> to</c><00:12:06.740><c> say,</c><00:12:07.240><c> don't</c>

00:12:07.299 --> 00:12:09.740
do<00:12:07.480><c> it,</c><00:12:07.960><c> because</c><00:12:08.279><c> I</c><00:12:08.659><c> say,</c><00:12:09.159><c> don't</c><00:12:09.440><c> do</c><00:12:09.600><c> it.</c>

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.799
We've<00:12:10.100><c> seen</c><00:12:10.179><c> that</c><00:12:10.419><c> already.</c>

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:15.879
We<00:12:11.340><c> have</c><00:12:11.500><c> to</c><00:12:11.620><c> say,</c><00:12:11.860><c> don't</c><00:12:12.240><c> do</c><00:12:12.580><c> or</c><00:12:13.240><c> do</c><00:12:13.580><c> do</c><00:12:13.879><c> this,</c><00:12:15.360><c> because</c><00:12:15.659><c> it</c>

00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.120
comes<00:12:16.200><c> from</c><00:12:16.580><c> the</c><00:12:16.860><c> ultimate</c><00:12:17.419><c> authority.</c>

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.879
Because<00:12:18.480><c> this</c><00:12:18.820><c> is</c><00:12:19.100><c> the</c><00:12:19.279><c> way</c><00:12:20.039><c> God</c><00:12:20.580><c> is.</c>

00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:29.220
So<00:12:23.019><c> that's</c><00:12:24.799><c> my</c><00:12:25.220><c> initial</c><00:12:26.620><c> statement</c><00:12:27.139><c> of</c><00:12:27.500><c> major</c><00:12:27.940><c> concern</c><00:12:28.600><c> about</c>

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:30.440
this<00:12:29.460><c> matter.</c>

00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:33.980
Now<00:12:32.080><c> when</c><00:12:32.220><c> we</c><00:12:32.379><c> come</c><00:12:32.519><c> to</c><00:12:32.639><c> the</c><00:12:32.779><c> scriptures,</c><00:12:33.220><c> it's</c><00:12:33.340><c> quite</c><00:12:33.659><c> plain</c>

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:40.779
that<00:12:34.179><c> God</c><00:12:34.620><c> is</c><00:12:35.940><c> not</c><00:12:36.519><c> prudish</c><00:12:38.039><c> when</c><00:12:40.100><c> it</c><00:12:40.320><c> comes</c>

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:41.519
to<00:12:41.240><c> sex.</c>

00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:48.440
There<00:12:41.759><c> is</c><00:12:42.019><c> no</c><00:12:42.639><c> coyness,</c><00:12:44.980><c> no</c><00:12:45.759><c> failure</c><00:12:46.659><c> to</c><00:12:46.940><c> address</c><00:12:47.419><c> the</c><00:12:47.820><c> issues</c>

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.460
in<00:12:49.460><c> the</c><00:12:50.019><c> scripture.</c>

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:54.240
Whatever<00:12:51.139><c> aspect</c><00:12:51.700><c> of</c><00:12:51.980><c> sexuality</c><00:12:52.679><c> we're</c><00:12:53.620><c> talking</c><00:12:54.000><c> about.</c>

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:57.440
There's<00:12:54.440><c> a</c><00:12:54.539><c> great</c><00:12:54.659><c> deal</c><00:12:54.820><c> of</c><00:12:55.100><c> frankness</c><00:12:55.980><c> in</c><00:12:56.679><c> the</c><00:12:56.919><c> scripture</c>

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.679
about<00:12:58.179><c> this</c><00:12:58.820><c> matter.</c>

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:04.080
God<00:12:59.980><c> created</c><00:13:00.720><c> man</c><00:13:01.240><c> and</c><00:13:01.559><c> woman</c><00:13:01.879><c> and</c><00:13:02.340><c> He</c><00:13:02.639><c> created</c><00:13:03.039><c> them</c><00:13:03.539><c> naked.</c>

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.480
They<00:13:04.379><c> weren't</c><00:13:04.700><c> born</c><00:13:05.080><c> with</c><00:13:05.440><c> clothes.</c>

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:11.080
And<00:13:06.740><c> that</c><00:13:06.899><c> was</c><00:13:07.279><c> said</c><00:13:07.519><c> to</c><00:13:07.899><c> be</c><00:13:08.379><c> very</c><00:13:09.080><c> good</c><00:13:09.480><c> in</c><00:13:10.059><c> their</c><00:13:10.299><c> naked</c><00:13:10.639><c> state.</c>

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:13.799
They<00:13:11.399><c> were</c><00:13:11.700><c> said</c><00:13:11.899><c> to</c><00:13:12.240><c> be</c><00:13:12.879><c> very</c><00:13:13.440><c> good.</c>

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:17.279
There's<00:13:14.440><c> no</c><00:13:14.659><c> need</c><00:13:14.799><c> to</c><00:13:15.000><c> be</c><00:13:15.240><c> coy</c><00:13:15.559><c> about</c><00:13:16.299><c> that.</c>

00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:22.500
The<00:13:17.559><c> whole</c><00:13:17.840><c> anatomy</c><00:13:18.299><c> and</c><00:13:18.600><c> physiology</c><00:13:19.240><c> of</c><00:13:20.440><c> men</c><00:13:20.799><c> and</c><00:13:21.200><c> women</c><00:13:21.440><c> were</c><00:13:21.740><c> designed</c><00:13:22.179><c> by</c>

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:24.340

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.980
That's<00:13:31.379><c> the</c><00:13:31.500><c> whole</c><00:13:31.700><c> purpose</c><00:13:32.100><c> of</c><00:13:32.360><c> male</c><00:13:32.659><c>-female.</c>

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.779
That's<00:13:33.379><c> the</c><00:13:33.539><c> gender</c><00:13:33.799><c> theme.</c>

00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.279
And<00:13:35.019><c> that</c><00:13:35.159><c> was</c><00:13:35.360><c> created</c><00:13:35.740><c> by</c><00:13:36.080><c> God.</c>

00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:39.539

one<00:13:52.799><c> flesh.</c>

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:54.580
That's<00:13:53.919><c> the</c><00:13:54.100><c> nub</c><00:13:54.299><c> of</c><00:13:54.440><c> it.</c>

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.259
That's<00:13:55.000><c> the</c><00:13:55.559><c> essence</c><00:13:56.019><c> of</c><00:13:56.259><c> it</c><00:13:56.419><c> and</c><00:13:56.500><c> the</c><00:13:56.740><c> summary</c><00:13:56.980><c> of</c><00:13:57.159><c> it.</c>

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.539
it's<00:17:09.039><c> very</c><00:17:09.240><c> important</c><00:17:09.839><c> that</c><00:17:10.119><c> we</c><00:17:10.819><c> address</c><00:17:11.220><c> that</c>

So,<00:17:16.900><c> what</c><00:17:17.000><c> guidance</c><00:17:17.420><c> then</c><00:17:17.980><c> is</c><00:17:18.279><c> there</c><00:17:18.640><c> for</c><00:17:19.220><c> young</c><00:17:19.599><c> and</c><00:17:19.960><c> not</c><00:17:20.180><c> so</c>

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.019

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:28.539
these<00:17:27.160><c> are</c><00:17:27.420><c> principles</c><00:17:27.700><c> we</c><00:17:27.940><c> will</c><00:17:28.339><c> take</c>

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:36.279
And<00:17:31.859><c> then</c><00:17:32.019><c> we</c><00:17:32.160><c> must</c><00:17:32.420><c> live</c><00:17:32.680><c> and</c><00:17:33.059><c> move</c><00:17:33.380><c> by</c><00:17:34.039><c> our</c><00:17:34.420><c> own</c><00:17:35.220><c> conscience.</c>

over<00:17:45.819><c> it.</c>

00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:49.519
And<00:17:46.519><c> there</c><00:17:46.759><c> are</c><00:17:47.119><c> other</c><00:17:47.279><c> areas</c><00:17:47.579><c> where</c><00:17:48.039><c> the</c><00:17:48.299><c> line</c><00:17:48.440><c> is</c><00:17:48.640><c> not</c><00:17:48.839><c> so</c><00:17:49.039><c> easy</c><00:17:49.259><c> to</c>

00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:03.220
So<00:17:58.819><c> let's</c><00:17:59.359><c> have</c><00:17:59.460><c> a</c><00:17:59.539><c> little</c><00:17:59.660><c> look,</c><00:17:59.900><c> shall</c><00:17:59.980><c> we,</c><00:18:00.640><c> at</c><00:18:01.420><c> 1</c><00:18:01.680><c> Corinthians</c><00:18:02.299><c> chapter</c>

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:36.319
This<00:18:33.680><c> is</c><00:18:33.920><c> the</c><00:18:34.099><c> philosophy</c><00:18:34.680><c> of</c><00:18:35.279><c> the</c><00:18:35.500><c> day.</c>
