Week 7 - BGR Talk

"Begin with the end in mind"

This phrase has been so widely used, we don't even know where it came from. At least I don't. This phrase describes a principle of life, and can help us determine whether our boy-girl relationships (bgr) will turn out as He wanted it.

Some will quote 1 Corinthians 7:9 and say that there are different types of people. Those who can stand being alone, and those who cannot stand being alone and thus must get attached at all times. This seems to justify our need to perpetually look out for a potential boy or girl friend to get ourselves attached to, but note the word "marry" used in the verse.

God created humans for a reason. Similarly, He also made man and woman differently for a reason. I believe the main takeaway from yesterday's talk is the principle of having a purpose. This is contrary to what the world tells us, but as Christians, the only reason why we should enter into a close and intimate relationship with another should be for the sole purpose of considering marriage.

So then, for those already attached, some of us were wondering where should we draw the line. After casual kiss but before passionate embrace? After passionate kiss but before petting? All the way? If you weren't there, or did not catch Uncle Jason when he explained about the line, the line that tells us where should we stop in our intimacy with our dear ones, let me paraphrase what he said.

THERE IS NO LINE

Really, there is no line. The line has been cheating us for the whole session. If by casual kissing, it arouses sexual desires that makes us sin, shouldn't the line be taken one step higher? If by gazing, we sin against God, shouldn't we check our hearts again? The line is a guideline, but the principle is that our relationships should be in such a way that it honors God.

What is the purpose of BGR? And for that matter, what is the purpose of our life? I believe the answer to these questions will help us go a long way.
