True Love Waits challenges teenagers and college students to
make a commitment to sexual abstinence until marriage.
True Love Waits encourages moral purity by adhering to biblical principles.
This youth-based international campaign utilizes positive peer pressure
by encouraging those who make a commitment to refrain
from pre-marital sex to challenge their peers to do the same.
Our student ministry is exploring this topic through bible study and discussion.
The culmination of this study and event will be the
Student Valentine Banquet on February 10, 2012.
At this time a commitment card will be filled out by students who wish to make
the pledge to wait until marriage.
The True Love Waits Pledge
Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God,
myself, my family, my friends, my future mate,
and my future children to a lifetime of purity
including sexual abstinence from this day until the day
I enter a biblical marriage relationship.
The Five Commitments of True Love Waits
1. To God: Matthew 22:37 - "Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.'"
2. To yourself: Matthew 22:39 - "And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
3. To family: Philippians 4:5 - "Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near."
4. To friends: John 15:13 - "Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends."
5. To future mate and children: 2 Timothy 2:22 - "Flee the evil desires of youth,
and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace,
along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
