There is nothing worth living for unless it is worth dying for.

My grandmother lived a life devoted to Jesus, and today her talks have been made available

in their original form.

So you too can be built up through the insights and mysteries God revealed to her throughout

her ministry.

Now without further ado, here is Elizabeth Elliott.

Maybe you're both Christians and you've been telling yourselves, well we really love

each other and one of these days we're going to get married and so what's wrong with

going to bed now and after all we've been going to bed for the last six months so why

should we stop now?

My answer is the reason you should stop now is because God says that it's sin.

If you're really serious about being a disciple then you give up your right to yourself

and you take up your cross which means obedience.

But your confession means repentance means that you're going to turn around and go the

other direction.

So I hope that God will give you the grace and the courage to say to that other person,

I'm sorry, I sinned against you, I sinned against God, we did it wrong, it's going to be different

from now on.

Otherwise you would be to break off with that person, don't put yourself in a position

of temptation, but you can start over and God will give you back your chastity, although

He can never give you back your virginity.

Faithful means dependable, it means conscientious, it means committed and means responsible.
