T e s t i m o n y “Having premarital sex was the most horrifying experience of my life. It wasn’t at all the emotionally satisfying experience the world deceived me into believing. I felt as if my insides were being exposed and my heart was left unattended. I know that God has forgiven me of this haunting sin, but I also know I can never have my virginity back. I dread the day that I have to tell the man I truly love and wish to marry that he is not the only one – though I wish he were. I have stained my life – a stain that will never come out.” “If I could have read Josh McDowell’s article ‘Helping Teens Say No to Sex’ when I was a teenager, perhaps I would not have given in so many times back then. Even after I became a Christian and knew God forbade premarital sex, the old habit was hard to break. Now I am a wife and mother and am still haunted by my past. It hurts to realize that the most precious gift I could have given my husband on our wedding day – a pure wife – was not possible.” David: “My sin is every before me” (Psa. 51:3)
