saints are busy helping other sinners
right now. However, your prayer is
very important to us, and we will
answer it in the order that it was
received. Please stay on the line.
If you would like to speak to God, press 1, for Jesus, press 2, The Holy Spirit, press 3.
If you would like to hear King David sing a
psalm while you are holding, press 4. To find

emergency assistance, please contact
your local pastor.
Finding
true love
Love is important. It can raise people up to the
heights, or send them to the pits. Is there anyone
here who doesn’t want True Love?
Love is the power to unite two beings
into one. You can see
some kind of love or attraction
throughout the universe. (e.g. man and woman,
male and female animals,
protons and electrons, etc.)
Everything exist in complementary pairs from mineral kingdom, animal kingdom, all the way up to human beings. Why is it so?
For the purpose of True Love.
Universe is designed in Complementary Pairs
But All love
is not the
same
There is the love that creates, but there is
that love that can hurt and destroy.

The right environment for the preparation of Marriage
is your pure love
That means…

• The Marriage is an eternal relationship
Satanic Lies about Sex
• Sex lie #1:
“Sex is a four-letter word”
• Sex lie #2:
“I’m all alone”
• Sex lie #3:
“It will go away when I’m married”
Sex lie #1: “Sex is a four-letter word (Lust)”
• Fornication (sex outside of marriage)
• Carnal (Desire of the body) Resolution:
• Knowledge
• Sex is a mind, body and soul experience
• Sex is the meeting point between God and humans
• The purpose of our lives is to be God’s object of love
Sex lie #2: “I’m all alone”
• Nobody understand me
• Everyone is against me
Resolution:
• God ALWAYS loves me
• I am always with God, and God is always with me
• My parents understand me
• I am never alone
Sex lie #3: “It will go away when I’m married”
Remember:
• Bad habits don’t just disappear. • We hurt ourselves, God and the other person
when we look at someone like a sexual object instead of a child of God.
• It is a choice to continue to be attracted to someone.
• Follow your destiny, not your genes and hormones

Pledge of Abstinence
Source: Klein, et al., “The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health,” Journal of the American Medical Association, September 10, 1997
The Pure Love Pledge The pure relationship of love between a man and a woman is a
sacred gift from God,
to be cherished and honored, for the sake of building
a true family, a healthy society and a world of peace for future
Generations. Once that love is consummated,
it should never be broken.
Therefore, from this day forward, I commit myself to:
•Respect and honor the ideal of purity in myself and
others.
•Practice pure love as a child, friend, spouse and parent.
•Refrain from all sexual relationship before marriage.
•Dedicate myself to absolute fidelity within marriage.
•Encourage others to do the same.
