The reality of indwelling sin and the deceit of lust is why GUARDRAILS is so important.
To fight and avoid sexual sin, this principle helps us connect our convictions to our actions.

Can guardrails stop you from sinning? No, but they can save you from destruction if you so desire.
God's word vividly taught us that compromised sexuality and ungodly romantic relationships were the downfall of the wisest person to live before Jesus, SOLOMON; the strongest person to ever live, SAMSON; and the man after God’s own heart, DAVID.
David lacked GUARDRAILS on what he
saw when he set his eyes on Bathsheba and began to entertain lustful ideas.
Samson lacked conversation GUARDRAILS, as he shared his heart with the wrong person and he told Delilah the secret to his power.

Samson lacked conversation GUARDRAILS, as he shared his heart with the wrong person and he told Delilah the secret to his power.
Solomon lacked GUARDRAILS on what he would do, as he married outside of the faith.
Their flaws taught us that no one can be casual with sexual purity, especially in this present time because spirituality, prowess or wisdom is not immunity.

When we lack one of these three guardrails the consequences will be destructive.
God’s standards aren’t roadblocks keeping us from pleasure, but they’re guard-rails that preserve us from imminent destructions.
You've come too far to be deterred.

You can pray for purity all you want, but until you decide to actually put some guardrails in place and live wisely, your prayers will only be a rave.
Be empowered to say NO to Sexual Immorality!
