Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 11:26 — 10.5MB)
Sex is most certainly the juiciest topic. It’s the topic that everyone is interested in. Our church leaders and pastors often do a very good job of telling people to abstain from sex before marriage, but overall most of our leaders and preachers don’t give us a decent “why” with that thought.
The question has been asked often: “Why is Premarital sex sin?” Sometimes scare tactics are used when answering this question, other times the question is simple ignored or neglected. In this episode, Kenny gives us a clear Biblically founded answer.
