TRUE LOVE WAITS

by LifeWay Student Ministry

What is True Love Waits?
Created in April, 1993, and sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources‚ the world's largest provider of religious products and services‚ True Love Waits is an international campaign that challenges teenagers and college students to remain sexually abstinent until marriage. To date, over a million young people have signed covenant cards stating…

How has the campaign been carried out?

From the beginning True Love Waits has been a grass-roots effort that originated with, and has since been led by, young people. Youth leaders have carried the True Love Waits message to young people through churches, student organizations, health-care groups, and on campuses across the nation. Numerous national, city-wide, and regional rallies have been held each year. Southern Baptists made the chastity campaign an ongoing annual emphasis by listing February as True Love Waits Month on their denominational calendar. Other denominations and religious groups have developed their own plans for participating in the campaign, many using the Southern Baptist plan as a model.

How big is True Love Waits?
More than 210,000 covenant cards were displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on July 29, 1994, as part of the first True Love Waits National Celebration. Approximately 25,000 young people attending DC '94 participated in the event. A second event, True Love Waits Thru the Roof, occurred February 11, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia, as part of the national youth ministers' meeting Atlanta '96. This international display included 340,000 cards stacked from the floor to the roof of the Georgia Dome‚ and beyond. Over 18,000 youth and youth leaders attended.

The True Love Waits Goes Campus phase was launched Valentine's Day 1997. As part of True Love Waits Goes Campus 1998, a campaign report that included an additional 68,000 commitments was presented to state and national government leaders.

Students continue to take the abstinence challenge to secondary schools and college campuses across America each February. On October 2, 1999, 1,500 youth carried 100,000 commitment cards across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Cards were then mailed to Australia for a display December 31-January 1, 2000 as a symbol of crossing into the new millennium with commitments to purity. On June 13, 2000, 450 True Love Waits yard signs were displayed at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. This was the site of the first display of True Love Waits commitment cards. In the summer of 2004, youth from 20 countries sent 460,000 commitment cards to Athens, Greece, to be displayed during the Summer Olympics.

Is True Love Waits just about refraining from intercourse? What about other practices such as oral sex?
True Love Waits is about following God's plan for purity. He calls us to be pure and holy. Sexual purity includes refraining from sex outside of marriage, but that is not all. True Love Waits is a comprehensive call to sexual purity that involves the mind, the spirit, and behavior.

You first love

One part in the history
You showed how one word should be
Thy majesty showed how to live
You set an example of right

I don’t know how to care
But because you showed it first
Like a teacher to its student
I learned how

I almost forgot how to serve others
Because I am too busy serving myself

But because you kneel before to the disciples feet

I realize that we are not worthy to be served

I almost forgot to give to others
But because set as an example by giving your life for me
I think I need to learn everything the hard way
And I think I need to be improve

I forgot to love others as I love my self
But because you demonstrate it into the cross
Now I know the reason why people love
“We love because, he first love us”
-I John 4:19

LOVE

Leviticus 19:18
“Stop being angry and don’t try to take revenge. I am the Lord, and I Command you to LOVE others as much as you LOVE yourself.”

Someone the command to LOVE doesn’t get through to us. We may confess that we lack a strong faith, but seldom do we admit that we are deficient in love. Perhaps we feel we’re as loving as the next person, and maybe a little bit more. After all, we’re sensitive to the hurts of other people. But deep inside we know that genuine caring reaches beyond feelings to action. Caring like a steam or electricity isn’t worth much unless something happen as a result of it. Love deeds is useless, just as talent not demonstrated in creative way is wasted. Both must be expressed or they are no better than a myth. Because we can’t do nothing or everything, we often don’t do everything. If you want to be a loving person, don’t start by taking on the needs of the whole world. Start caring about one person and build from them. we/you cant’ do everything but you can do something. What you can do, you should

Reveals who we Are...

What we say Reveals who we are... SOONER or LATER our words will unmask the true condition of our hearts. If our Hearts are filled with love for GOD, our words will be marked by HONESTY, gratefulness, Love, encouragement, Wise counsel nad concern for others. But if our hearts are filled with sellfisness, out words will be filled with deceit, critism, complaining, broken confidences, and insults. by our words we will be judged.

Being totally honest with God and serving Him so that you can be in Heaven or wont be in Hell someday?

Answer this question?

As a part of drama team in Our church. in the beginning of my journey was out of pure fear of going to hell... but as I began to study and gain more knowledge, a love and personal relationship with God developed... and there is unexplainable peace, that no worldly possession could give me - I know where I am going when I die, and the love I have for God is what gives me peace, happiness, and satisfaction out of the life he gave me!!!
