ABSTINENCE "to abstain"
To abstain means to voluntarily choose not to do something, when referring to sex, it means voluntarily choosing not to engage in sexual activity until marriage. |
|
| Sexual activity refers to any type of genital contact or sexual stimulation including, but not limited to, sexua l intercourse. Abstinence is the only 100% effective protection from the possible physical, emotional, mental and social consequences of sex before marriage. Abstinence is the safest and healthiest lifestyle. |

|
|
| SIX BASIC STEPS TO SEXUAL ABSTINENCE |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 |
Dress appropriately. The way you dress sends messages to others even when you don't intend to. Guys are especially affected because they are designed to be sexually stimulated by what they see. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 |
Don't do drugs or alcohol. Drugs and alcohol cloud your decision-making ability and lower your resistance to say no. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 |
|
|
|
| Don't spend long periods of time alone together. Date wisely... that is; avoid long periods of time alone together because it can lead to too much physical contact too soon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4 |
Go out with people with similar goals. Be friendly with everyone, but having close relationships with people who have similiar values and goals makes it easier keep your value system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5 |
Recognize your love need and what it means. Knowing and understanding your vulnerable areas will protect you from making some serious mistakes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 |
|
|
|
Set your standard high and set it before the heat is on. Decide now why you want to be a virgin and stick to it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| THE REAL MAN’S GOAL |
| ABSTINENCE |
|
Applied abstinence strengthens the real man! Abstinence is the power to produce these characters as a lifestyle of choice:
|
|
-- Self Respect;
-- Respect for others;
-- Self responsibility;
-- Self accountability
-- Self dependability
-- Self motivation;
-- Self integrity;
-- Set high spiritual and academic goals;
-- Trustworthy
-- Hard working
-- Self discipline
-- Self control.
|
|
| Abstinence today allows a real man to engage into a future of tomorrow! |

WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS
|
| Without any one to provide for them clothes, many orphaned children have no clothes, and they move naked facing the rough natures coldness, they also go through the brunt coldness of the nights because of they have no beddings. We're very grateful to our donors and partners who have helped us and enabled us to provide free clothes, shoes, blankets, bed sheets to such needy children. |

Your thoughts become words.. your words become actions… your actions become habits … your habbits become character… your character becomes your destiny!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| YOU MAKE YOUR LIFE WHAT IT IS….. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| YOUR BEHAVIOUR IS NOT CAUSED BY WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| YOU BEHAVIOURS IS CAUSED BY WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR HEAD, THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS AND EACH OF YOUR DECISIONS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If you allow someone to change your mind or to provoke you … that someone ….. not you ……. Is in control of your life. |
