Abstinence Programs Work

It appears that some in the mainstream media is starting to wake up to the fact that abstinence programs work:

I would add that pre-marital abstinence eliminates sexually-transmitted diseases, reduces heart-ache, eliminates unmarried pregnancies, is in accordance with the Bible, and leads to a better overall life.

The Bible specifically teaches:

14 “You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14)

18 Flee sexual immorality. 19 Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18-19)

4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
(Hebrews 13:4)

Recent infamous incidents such as those involving John Edwards (see Commentary: Adultery, deceit and duplicity), Tiger Woods, and others suggest that they would have been much better off too to heed the instructions in the Bible. The sexual teachings in the Bible are not just for teenagers.
