Download MP3 (right click to save) Honestly, it was one of the most disgusting stories I’ve heard in the news for a long time, and I wouldn’t want to spread it if it didn’t make an important point. A young woman is auctioning off her virginity on the Internet to pay for her education. The bidding is now up to 3.4 million dollars. I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and as depraved as that sounds, it tells us something—that virginity is a highly valued treasure. God tells us in the Bible that a virtuous woman is “worth far more than rubies.” And remaining sexually pure is actually a destiny issue in our lives. The Bible says, ”It is God’s will (this is part of God’s big plans for you) that you should be sanctified (that means kept special) that you should avoid sexual immorality” (1 Thessalonians 4:3 ). My grandson collects baseball cards. He’s being coached by our son who learned to invest in baseball cards with the savvy of a high-yield stock trader. And here’s what he’s teaching a young collector: take good care of the cards that are rare. They are the most valuable. Well, that’s true of most things. If you’re a young person or a parent these days, you know how someone who’s keeping sex special gets badgered, “You’re a virgin? What’s wrong with you?” They make you feel weird. Listen, if you’re guarding your virginity; you’re saving sex for a lifetime marriage partner, you are not weird. You’re rare and valuable, and the less there are like you, the more valuable you become. Purity is a treasure to be guarded, and sex is too beautiful to give away cheap. Keep it special. I appreciate your being here for these visits each day. I hope you’ll check out our website. It’s ALifeThatMatters.org. This radio program references: 1 Thessalonians 4:3  |
