What is an Abstinence Contract? It is a promise that to save oneself sexually for your future marriage partner. Because, this is a command from God, it is His precept and pane, it is the best deal and you will be greatly rewarded by Him if you obey! If not, Play now and you will pay later or pay and pray now (by waiting ad trusting in God) and play later. It's your choice!
As a young person of integrity, today I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my future mate and my future children to be pure sexually by remaining abstinent until the day I marry! Signature_____________________________ Date_____________________________

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" Philippians 2:3-5

Consider these facts on Teen sexuality:
- One out of every three teenagers who are sexually active acquires a sexually transmitted disease. (If you ask me that's like placing two bullets in a six shooter, spinning the barrel and putting the gun to your head.)
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 known diseases are spread primarily through sexual activity.
- More than 19 million STD infections occur annually in the US. Half are contracted by youth ages 15 to 24. That is larger than the population of some states!
- The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any developed country in the world.
God says: Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 1 Cor. 6:18

A.C.T.S is an acronym or axiom that points us to the Lord's Prayer and other Scripture, and gives us precepts so we can divide up our time and purpose to engage in prayer with a correct devotion and attitude. "ACTS" refers to the percepts of prayer-the categories of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

First off, there is no "method" or process on how to pray, as there is no specific principle on how to talk to your mom or best friend. We just do it. Yes, there is edict, attitude, and good ways versus bad ways to communicate. Thus, God does give us a pattern as a checklist to make sure our time and attitude are lined up to more of His will and less of ours. We must make sure we use our payer time with purpose and effectiveness.

What if I have never been taught how to personally pray or to talk to God? What if I grew up in a church that never had conversational or personal prayer? What if I offend God? But if you know how to talk and listen then you know how to pray!
