Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor of this day, we at ec want to wish you the happiest of Valentine's Day. And instead of dwelling on the fact that you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend or getting overly obsessed by your dating relationship on this day, we encourage you to celebrate all the people you love. Your parents. Your friends. Your brother or sister. Your student minister. Your aunt. Let the people you love know it today!

And while you're here, check out this link to True Love Waits. Many of your churches are probably planning commitment ceremonies and asking you to make a pledge to remain sexually pure until marriage. But what does that really mean? The TLW staff anticipated your questions and answered them here.

Know this: sexual purity is more than NOT having sex; it's refraining from activities and situations that might lead to compromise and involves things you say, do, and watch. You can be participating in activities or doing things that are degrading your purity and still be a virgin.
As Christians, you've been called to live a pure life in all areas. Strive for that today!
