Dear Pastor,

I have a boyfriend and he is putting a lot of pressure on me to have sex. I love this guy dearly and want to do anything for him to make him feel comfortable. I really want to do it, but at the same time I do not want to. I am 17 and I am a Christian, but he is not. Pastor, I really cannot wait until marriage and he also cannot wait. I think we both are ready for this step in our lives.

Sir, I need your help in telling me what to do. I am really confused. Please, help me.

Dear J.J.,

Never allow anybody to pressure you into having sex. If you are a Christian, you should try your best to please the Lord.

The Bible says that sex outside of marriage is sin.

Read your Bible and pray. This guy is not a Christian. He is going to lead you astray.

Pastor
